Are you surrounded by huge sex parties, tantra and kink events, sex science socials and orgies - though you don’t want any of it? Living in a sex-positive intentional community, Lila Donnolo (of Horizontal with Lila and IHeartRadio’s Positively Sex) has 24/7 access to whatever her heart desires, but she struggles with receiving pleasure. Yet after watching her housemate’s ‘sensation gangb*ng’, Lila realizes that luxuriating in touch and adoration feels edgy, so she asks for help and is instructed to create a menu of sensual human appetizers, salads, entrees and desserts and to invites friends and lovers. Is it selfish to bask, and to not rush to reciprocate? #HumanSlipNSlide #Laughter #DoodlePoll    Song: ‘Dopamine’ (BØrn)   About our Storyteller:   Lila Donnolo of Horizontal with Lila is an Intimacy Specialist, a Public Speaker, Writer, Actress, & Curator of Immersive events.
