In this episode we interview the creators of Bonobo Network - a sex-positive community that hosts sex parties, as well as educational workshops, retreats, potlucks, happy hours, discussion groups, online mixers, interviews, and so much more. We talk all about the ins and outs of sex parties, the importance of safety and consent, and how connection and community serve to create more aliveness in our everyday lives.

In 2014, the San Francisco Chronicle named William Winters the "de facto king of the East Bay polyamory scene." He's been working to earn the title ever since. William’s perspectives on non-monogamy, often through the lens of his own relationships, have appeared in San Francisco Magazine, KQED's Forum, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the New York Times. He has facilitated conversations about polyamory and sexuality in settings including university campuses, political conferences, living rooms, festivals, Burning Man, and beyond. He lives with his wife and their stupid cat in Oakland, CA. Misha Bonaventura co-produces Bonobo Network with William. Alongside William, she is passionate about supporting sex positive community and helping people create more pleasure for themselves. She teaches and consults individuals and communities to develop their consent culture with a harm reduction and transformative justice lens. Her private practice, Clearing Conversations, focuses on conflict resolution and communication coaching and she loves supporting the sex positive community of the Bay Area and beyond in creating sustainable, long-term relationship building.
