Everyone, it seemed, learned something new. The sisters were fascinated by the idea of prostate stimulation and wanted to know as much as possible about anal play, I learned the best position for deep-throating and a couple of interesting tricks involving using your soft palate and a breathing technique, and there was much umming and ahhing as each area of fellatio was discussed.
(I should confess that when I signed up for the class I was feeling cocky and sure that I wouldn't learn anything. After all I am a sex writer. When I registered, my boy toy said that I should be the teacher not the student! However much I thought I knew, I definitely got schooled in a few things.)
As she discussed the deeply scientific matter of funky spunk, with a balled black dildo tucked under her armpit, it was obvious that Pringle enjoyed facilitating the class, and knew her subject matter well. Pringle is studying to become a professor in human sexuality, and her interest in empowering women sexually is glowingly obvious. By the end of the session, everyone felt comfortable enough to stick around and chat.
After the climax
I found out afterwards that the very quiet woman was a submissive whose dominant had ordered her to take the class, the nursing students were there in the name of research ("We get a lot of women approaching us on how to arouse their husbands after injuries," explained one) and the sisters were there for a laugh. Their mom was supposed to come too but she pulled out at the last minute.
The Portuguese woman's eager husband was waiting outside to whisk her home and put her new knowledge to the test. It warmed my heart to think of these people embracing the golden years of their marriage and getting frisky. I wondered if they'd make it home or end up parking somewhere!
I wondered if I'd lucked out with my hilarious classmates, but apparently all the Venus Envy workshops end up being that much fun. "I've never had a bad class," said Pringle. "Sometimes people start out quiet but it's my job to make them feel comfortable and by the end of the class most people are pretty relaxed."
Taking that workshop was probably the most fun I've had on a Wednesday evening. I'm thinking of getting a group of girlfriends together to check out the Erotic Talk workshop next month. It would make a great girl's night out.
