Happy Friday, Nerds! I got frisked by airport security today, and tomorrow’s my birthday…overall, I’d say this weekend is off to a great start. PLUS I have details about our next NN talks for you! Check it:
Sex & Love: Not Just Escalators and Happily Ever Afters. Have you ever heard of Relationship Anarchy? How about Cuckolding? How much do you know about Swinging? Open Relationships? Non- monogamy can take many unique forms. Utilizing her academic knowledge and personal experience, Clare Palmer will provide a general understanding of some lesser known relationship styles. Come learn about sex and the relationships in which we have it! -Clare Sojourner Harris Palmer
Clare Palmer’s venture into sex research began at the age of 15, when she surveyed 162 students at her high school about their sexual activity for a project. A decade later, she was studying Sociology at MSUM with a focus on the Sociology of Sexual Behavior. During that time, she presented her own independent research at 3 professional conferences and 2 student conferences. She loves studying sexual behaviors considered deviant, including kinks and the non-traditional relationships in which sex occurs. This is her second time presenting at Nerd Nite Fargo and she couldn’t be more excited to return.
Polyamory 101: the open, honest, and ethical practice of loving more than one person simultaneously. At this Poly 101 talk, you will learn more about the logistics of such relationship structures, as well as some of the growth that can come from working through the inevitable challenges they bring. Presenters from FM’s polyamory community will also give tips for success and pitfalls to avoid. You will think about relationships in a whole new way!- Andrew Tyson and Ashton Sheppard
Presenters Andrew Tyson and Ashton Sheppard from PolyAware have been active participants in and leaders in the local polyamory community for a few years. They have learned from personal relationship successes and failures along the way, some of which have even involved each other. Andrew has self-identified as polyamorous for 5 years, and Ashton has for 13, and together they bring a wealth of perspective, experience, and (hopefully) wisdom gained along the way.
…told you this would be awesome dinner conversation. 😉 Anyway, see you on Wednesday, November 15th, 7PM (doors at 6:30) at Fargo Billiards and Gastropub for all this PLUS trivia and prizes! Sadly, this will be our last Nerd Nite for 2017, since we take December off due to a Non-Compete we signed with Santa, so you better get your fix now or you’ll have to hold it until FNN returns in January 2018.
See you beautiful nerds there.
🙂 T
