Understanding Desire, Pleasure & Intimacy Together

A 75-minute online workshop for couples and partners exploring desire, pleasure, intimacy & connection

Thursday, November 19, 2026 | 7:00–8:15 p.m. Pacific | Live online via Zoom

Two people can care deeply about each other and still experience desire, pleasure and intimacy differently.

Our bodies, beliefs, experiences, stress, health, relationships and life circumstances can all influence how we experience desire and connection, and those experiences don't always change in the same way or at the same time.

In this warm, approachable and evidence-informed workshop, Audrey Panter, MSW, invites couples to explore desire, pleasure and intimacy through a broader lens — with trusted knowledge, curiosity and practical ways to better understand yourselves and each other.

Together, we'll explore some of the factors that shape our experiences, move beyond common stigmas, myths and assumptions, and consider how greater understanding can create more space for communication, connection and pleasure.

What You'll Take Away

• A broader understanding of what can shape desire, pleasure and intimacy for each partner

• Trusted, evidence-informed knowledge about desire and sexual well-being

• Insight into why partners may experience desire, arousal or changes differently

• Practical language and tools to support communication, comfort and connection

• Ideas and questions to continue exploring together — without pressure or expectation

Who Is This For?

This workshop is for couples and partners who want to better understand desire, pleasure, intimacy and connection.

You might be curious about how desire works, noticing differences or changes between you, wanting to communicate more comfortably about intimacy, or simply interested in exploring this part of your relationship together.

You don't need to be experiencing a problem or relationship difficulty to attend.

Curiosity is enough. Nothing to fix. More to discover — together.

What to Expect

This is a relaxed, education-focused online workshop with approximately 60 minutes of teaching, practical information and private reflection for you and your partner, followed by time for optional questions.

Camera optional. Sharing never required.

You won't be called on, asked to introduce yourselves or expected to share personal details about your relationship. Any reflection or conversation between you and your partner is yours to keep private.

Come to listen, learn, reflect or ask questions — at the level that feels comfortable for both of you.
