Frisky Business Boutique

Class coming up soon!

Lace up your hiking boots, grab your favorite form of hydration (l**e, I’m lookin at you!), and get ready to explore your authentic s*xual desires. We’re leaving society’s expectations of what “counts” as s*x, the heteronormative scripts we’ve been handed, and those god awful bases you learned about in 5th grade back in the parking lot. We’re getting curious about what feels good to us because that is how good s*x happens. You in?

In a world that keeps us in our heads and out of our bodies, it can be difficult to identify what we really desire in the realm of s*xuality and/or intimacy. Add in a dash of s*x-negative, homophobic culture? It’s no wonder so many of us find ourselves confused and overwhelmed. Let this workshop be a place to replace that overwhelm with curiosity and self-exploration. We will:

Learn about the science of s*xual desire: the many ways it can work, what blocks it, and how to get to know your own!

Identify the ways your desires and boundaries talk to you— in and out of s*xual contexts

Build your personal s*xy trail map, with tools and practices that help you discover + connect with your desires

Not only is teaching an incredible metal stamping class for us, she is selling her fabulous jewelry this Saturday 7/27 after class from 3pm-7pm! Enjoy treats like silver B**M accessories, earrings, necklaces, stickers, and much more! If you’ve ever admired her earrings we have by the register in store, you’ve got to stop by and see what else she has to offer.

If talking about s*x and kink feel a bit awkward, this workshop is for you! We’ll explore and practice the skills that support you in experiencing the pleasure you want - skills around consent, boundaries, communication, and self care when trying new things. Most of all, you’ll get space to reflect on how to bring your communication style, personality, and unique you to the conversation.

Class announcement! Join us for a Wet Hot Shame-Free Summer!

That voice in your head that keeps you distracted during s*x with thoughts about your body, your worth, or whether you’re “q***r enough”? The gnawing feeling in your gut that shows up when it’s time to ask a partner for what you want? The anxious panic that appears when you even think about your deepest desires? That’s s*xual shame. And it is cramping our hot pal summer.

The summer is made for pleasure and play– not s*xual shame! If shame feels like a pesky mosquito that won’t leave you be? You’re not alone. In fact, this workshop is for you!

In this 90 minute workshop, we’ll:

Learn the science of s*xual shame, what feeds this unwelcome guest, and what strips it of its power.
Strategize how we can use this science to disrupt our own shame voices.
Build your personal “shame repellant” with tools and practices that challenge shame when it appears!

Gaby here with a little personal note. I try to use Thanksgiving as an opportunity to reflect on gratitude, and today I’ve been thinking about my employees at Frisky Business. I think we can all agree that a huge part of what makes Frisky special is the fabulous people who work there. What you don’t see is the countless hours of work they put into building their knowledge base, studying s*xual health and wellness, keeping up with what’s new in the industry, going above and beyond to provide the experience you’ve come to expect from us. Their level of dedication is unmatched. They blow my mind everyday and I’m wildly grateful to have them.

If you’ve ever had a great experience with my employees, comment below! I’d love to hear from you.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate and to those who don’t, enjoy your day! Hope to see you soon. 💕
