NEW YORK — Certified sex coach and sex-positive feminist writer Gigi Engle will be discussing the benefits of sex toys at Sex Expo NY, to be held the weekend of Sept. 22-23 at the Brooklyn Expo Center.
Presented by premier cam network Chaturbate, Sex Expo will feature showcases from top pleasure product manufacturers and sex-ed workshops hosted by a wide range of educators and sexual wellness experts.
The Chicago-based Engle said that her workshop, titled “Sex Toys on Your Sex Life,” will offer Sex Expo attendees an introduction to the basics of pleasure products.
“We start with why sex toys matter, why we’re so scared of them, and why we need them,” Engle said. “The workshop focuses on how pleasure products help broaden the scope of sexual understanding and breed intimacy in relationships. It covers everything from the reasons sex toys — specifically vibrators — are critical to female pleasure to how men can enjoy sex toys to where to buy them to which materials to look for.”
Engle added, “It’s a 101 workshop to discover pleasure products and invite curiosity. By the end of the class, everyone should walk away with a basic understanding of pleasure products and, if they haven’t already, be off to buy their first one.”
Engle’s articles have appeared in Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Elle, Glamour and Teen Vogue as well as the Huffington Post, Men’s Health, Bustle, Elite Daily, Brides and SELF. Previously, Engle was a sex and dating writer for Thrillist Media Group, which became Group Nine Media when Thrillist.com merged with Seeker, The Dodo and NowThis News.
Engle also writes the advice column, Ask Gigi, which appears on her official website, MissGigiEngle.com.
The Brooklyn Expo Center is located at 72 Noble St. in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint area and is within walking distance of the MTA’s Greenpoint Ave. subway station, which is served by the G Train.
