Dr. Justin Lehmiller
Are you getting what you want when it comes to sex? Odds are, probably not. Most of us have sexual fantasies that we wish were part of our sexual reality; however, few of us have shared these desires with our partners, let alone acted on them, because fear, shame, and embarrassment are holding us back.
We need to move past sexual shame and learn to communicate our desires in order to establish happy and healthy relationships. Sexual communication has a number of benefits, from establishing greater intimacy and closeness to keeping passion alive for the long haul.
FULL TRAINING SCHEDULE:
Friday, May 3rd, 10am - 6pm
- Sexual fantasy vs. sexual desire: What’s the difference?
- The who, what, when, where, and why of sexual fantasies
- How and why fantasies differ across gender, sexual orientation, and age
- The science of sexual fantasy: The most common fantasies, where they come from, and what they say about us
- Reconceptualizing paraphilias: Which sexual desires are truly uncommon and when does a sexual fantasy or desire become a cause for concern?
- Special Guest: Nicoletta Heidegger, LMFT
Saturday, May 4th, 10am - 6pm
- Sexual communication: Tips and icebreakers that will allow you to confidently begin a dialogue
- Making the leap from fantasy to reality: What do you need to know?
- Monogamy vs. consensual non-monogamy: What are the unique benefits and challenges of each, and how do you figure out which approach is right for you?
- Discussing fantasies and desires with partners: Risk vs. reward
- The secrets to relationship success: Getting the sex life and relationship you want

Friday’s Special Guest- Nicoletta Heidegger Presents: Treating Minor Attracted Adults. There is a lack of preventive treatment or support for those living with pedophilic desires; many of us as health care professionals will not even work with this population. The dearth of support and services offered for minor attracted adults only further puts our community and our children at risk. Join in a conversation about how to work with minor attracted clients so we can take preventive measures to support everyone in our communities and give this stigmatized population a fighting chance.
