Description
The Center for Sex and Culture is having a fundraising photo shoot with porn star Jiz Lee, who is a featured participant of this year's Masturbate-a-thon. Jiz is an AVN Nominated performer who has managed to break the mainstream barrier, performing with both indie SF directors such as Shine Louise Houston and Courtney Trouble, as well as LA directors Carlos Batts, Belladonna, and photographer Dave Naz.

This shoot is special as Jiz will invite photographers to submit photos taken during the shoot to appear on JizLee.com as a fundraiser for the Center for Sex and Culture. (Thanks, Jiz!) Jiz will promote your name and website, or allow photographers to be anonymous. A charmingly boyish and naturally beautiful model, Jiz has a sweet, expressive personality and is excited to pose at CSC.

This shoot is free to CSC Photo Club members, $20 for nonmembers.

Join other like-minded photographers at the Center for Sex and Culture Photo Club shoots. All thats required is a camera and the desire to create images reflecting your erotic point of view. We provide lights, models and occasional lecturers.  Shoots are usually the 3rd Sunday of the month and are open to club members and, space permitting, nonmembers. Each shoot costs $25 for members, $50 for nonmembers; trial memberships are available. Annual membership is $240 or $20/month.

We are also seeking models!

Scott Catamas travels throughout the United States, Europe & Asia offering dynamic presentations, workshops & events. As a multiple EMMY award winning writer & producer, Scott has created programming for NBC, HBO, SHOWTIME, FOX, UPN, PBS and Syndication.

Kataka Gara has sung and played music most of her life. She plays over 30 instruments. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, she founded the award-winning Ecstasy Lounge Women's Safe Sex Club in San Francisco in the 1990's. More recently, Kataka founded We Heal University, a Reiki Mastery School, thus creating the healing concepts of the Integrative Reiki Mastery Method, and authoring 3 books for the school. When Kataka became a Reiki Master Healer, she discovered that she could “funnel” positive energy through her music. She performs with two very unique instruments called Hangs in conjunction with Scott's Compassionate Communication events. This creates an exquisite and inspirational sound healing and musical experience, which drops audiences deeply into their hearts. Kataka offers private sound healing and reiki sessions throughout California, and frequently teaches Reiki to a growing student body. Her courses are attended by students worldwide.

Amazing musical energy plus Scott's advanced-level work! See Kataka and Scott work together here:

In a culture where women's sexual experience is often devalued, feeling confident in bed can be challenging for women of all ages. Whether it's a derogatory comment from a lover, a shift in our body's functioning, the constant stream of advertising that tells us we're "less than," sexual trauma, or identity shifts related to our sexuality and relationships, many women feel they face an uphill battle in claiming their sexuality or simply feeling good about themselves in bed.

But increased sexual self-confidence often has payoffs far beyond the bedroom, including creatively, socially, and economically. In this class, we'll explore the connection between sexual poise and self-possession and the rest of your life, while learning practical tools for building your confidence, speaking up for (and getting) what you want, and settling for nothing less than the best.

You'll learn how to:
Discover your authentic desire and erotic story
Combat sex-negative messages in our culture
Make your sexuality your own
Make bold requests and get more of what you want
Handle moments of self-doubt and fear without letting them rule you
See yourself as the hot woman you are

Whether you're in a relationship, single or dating, boosting your sexual self-confidence goes a long way toward creating the life you want. Join us for this inspiring, empowering, practically useful class and discover your own sexual self.
