Understanding male sexuality—beyond the myths
This month’s Intimacy Hour, hosted by ALT-G's Rachel Keller and Crystal Baldwin on Sept 10th @ 5:15pm ET online, is all about understanding male/AMAB sexuality in a way that goes beyond the myths. We’ll look at how culture and history have influenced ideas of masculinity and pleasure, explore the basics of anatomy and arousal, talk honestly about common sexual challenges and treatments, and share ways to navigate desire differences in relationships.

Whether you identify as male, love someone who does, or simply want to deepen your understanding, this is a welcoming space to learn, reflect, and connect with others.

Join us for an open, compassionate conversation about sexuality, intimacy, and connection

ALT-G stands for the Authentic Living Therapeutic Group. We’re a collective of passionate mental and relational health providers, deeply rooted in the consensual non-monogamous, q***r, neurodiverse, and kink communities. As members ourselves, we’re committed to ongoing growth and development that centers these identities. We offer sex-positive, intentional, and dedicated care for those we serve.

*The garden is not wheelchair accessible unfortunately. It is a 3-5 minute walk from parking, along an unpaved pathway through the woods, with a mild incline and roots and gravel along the path.

Who is Invited:
We welcome anyone who is seeking community and connection based around mutual support and respect. We specifically serve the LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, and nonmonogamy communities. Children are welcome if they will be able to participate in the event without significant disruption to the other participants.

Fundraiser:
This event is in support of The Baltimore Safe Haven, which is a trans-led drop-in safe haven in Baltimore: https://www.baltimoresafehaven.org/. Participants are asked to donate $10 (or more if desired) to the cause.

The Power of Storytelling:
Fall and winter are a time of digesting the spring and summer. Part of how that happens is through storytelling. Storytelling is also an important part of liberation, as it allows us to claim what is important in our lives. Through telling our own stories, we are standing up to say that we’re alive and we matter, regardless of what society, politics, or others say.

Do you have a story you’d like to share? Sharing about your unique experience and perspective helps those around you feel less alone. What aspects of your story would you like to let go of? Maybe something you’ve been told about yourself, or something from your past that no longer serves you.

Check out Rachel Keller and Crystal Lynn's monthly Intimacy Hour online! It is free for first-time attendees.

The next one will be held next Wednesday February 12th from 5:15pm to 6:30pm ET. The topic is Appreciating Responsive Desire!

Responsive Sexual Desire is one of the most misunderstood aspects of sexuality among our clients. It’s the aspect that tends to require the most education and reframing, and can create the most relief once a couple or individual realizes there is nothing wrong with them.

Our next Intimacy Hour focuses solely on what is good about Responsive Sexual Desire. This is one of my favorite intimacy hours, because there is so much to celebrate about responsive desire that doesn’t often get talked about.

The topics and sign-up links for future intimacy hours through June are also posted, along with an option to sign-up for the remaining 5 sessions in this series at once.
