Meet your favorite thought leaders and understand modern relationships and sex in an entirely new way. Are you ready for some #brainforeplay?

 

Enjoy a whole day of insightful talks, engaging panels, and titillating performances to stimulate your curiosity cortex. Share some laughs, spark some a-ha’s, and make some new, foxy friends along the way! Spend your Sunday getting curious. Consider this:
  • "The talk" for kids needs to shift away from biology and body parts toward pleasure, desire, and the senses.
  • Porn isn't a public health crisis; it's an artistic medium that can both educate and empower people about sex.
  • BDSM is inherently playful.
  • Pole dancing has the power to inspire body positivity in people of all shapes and sizes.
  • Relationship compatibility isn't an invisible magical force – it's a formula that can be hacked.
  • Societal constructs have ingrained in people toxic paradigms about masculinity and gender roles; it's time to creatively break them.
  • Relationships don't come as one-size-fits-all; they are each consciously designed.

We highly value accessibility to our greater community. For inquiries about volunteer positions and group rates, email aloha at effyblue dot com.

TESTIMONIALS

cf_fb_icon_fox_clear
"I had the best time at the Curious Foxes: Consider This event. I was completely blown away by the real life situations the speakers shared with us, as well as the research based material we learned. It opened my eyes to a community I found a lot in common with though I didn't know how to verbalize my experiences yet. I felt really at home all day. Thank you."
"The speakers who presented at the Consider This conference were extremely knowledgeable yet down to earth. I heard many life changing ideas (supported by facts) that were presented in approachable ways and inspired me to want to grow and live my best life possible."
