“Men Love Sex & Relationships”
A workshop for men
This workshop offers a fresh look at male sexuality, with resources and reflections on:
- Manhood and masculinities
- Love, loving & the ways of love
- Sex, sexuality & gender differences
- The education of desire & the management of eros
- Relationships & marriages: fantasies and realities
The workshop has grown out of several shorter talks and workshops given over the past few years on men’s issues, marriage and mid-life. It combines input, discussion, personal reflection, poetry and music.

The approach is non-threatening and, according to previous participants, engaging and inviting. It is open to any man who wants to reflect on himself and his relationships.
And no! Participants will not be required to sing, dance, rub red ochre on their bodies or disclose intimate personal secrets.

What Participants at Previous Workshops Said …
RB: “I really enjoyed the workshop. I got a lot out of it. I had not put a lot of thought into it prior to turning up on the day and was surprised at what I got. It was great that 26 other men attended too … I liked your courage. You owned your position and were open to being challenged on it. Gutsy stuff. What I liked the most was the stuff on foundations for a healthy relationship.”
RM: “I found the whole day very useful. I suppose the most useful thing was the reminder that connection is the key … it was interesting to hear from some blokes who have it in spade-fulls and others who don’t have it but really want and need it … There is a need for workshops like these … I liked the gentle and respectful tone of the day. Well done and thank you.”
JO: “It was a wonderful day. I was really pleased I was there … the day with 27 other men was empowering to say the least and I gained a lot. The tour guide set the relaxed non-threatening open environment. The venue was pleasant and the day was beautiful so a good time was had by all.”
OR: “It was a chance to normalise what to expect from relationships and I appreciated your transparency about your own journeys. Men discussing sexuality was the key reason I attended … a rare thing.”
DH: “It was good that the issues were on the table for discussion and banter.”
TT: “I really got that the issues I have are not dissimilar to many others. Some valuable pieces for me were more reminders, for example about my own attitude and that happiness comes from within not through the relationship … I have felt energized since the workshop and wanting to know more and learn more about me and relationships.”
KF: “Our relationship is good but I will think more about relationship building and my wife’s point of view and perspective more in the future, which is what I set out to achieve.”
