🧪
In this lively, shame-free, delightfully practical & humorous class, you'll learn:
✅ How to recognize your attachment style—and what it means for your patterns in love, lust, and late-night texting.
✅ How to “Date Your Species” so you stop falling for good people who are bad fits.
✅ The difference between New Relationship Energy, Crushing, and Imprinting—and why love chemicals can hijack your brain (temporarily!).
✅ How to spot red flags and false alarms using the “Venn Diagram of Compatibility” (a.k.a. “Is This Even a Good Idea?”)
✅ Why your past heartbreaks aren’t proof you're broken—and how to learn from them without shame.
✅ What healthy boundaries actually look and feel like in dating, casual sex, and committed partnerships.
✅ How to have the talks you're avoiding using Reid’s “Difficult Conversation Formula”
✅ How to keep your heart open and your head on straight when feelings, hookups, and mixed signals get messy.
✅ Your go-to checklist for flirting, falling in love, and even hooking up without unnecessary drama—hint: it includes Reid’s “Casual Sex Protocols”
✅ How to avoid the Venn Diagram of Misery (and create your own personal roadmap to the Venn Diagram of Happiness instead!)
💡 This Class Is For You If…
👉 You fall fast, get attached easily, or ghost people to avoid getting too close
👉 You’ve ever had the “Wait… what are we?” conversation go sideways (or never happen)
👉 You’re tired of drama and confusion in dating, casual sex, or undefined relationships
👉 You want deeper connection but fear losing yourself (or getting too lost in someone else)
👉 You’re touch-starved and horny—but also trying not to repeat your old patterns
👉 You’re exploring non-monogamy or sex-positive community and want to do it with grace
👉 You’re craving relationships (short or long) that feel secure, kind, and aligned with who you are
👉 You want to build emotional safety and pleasure, not just survive the dating world
FOR WHO IS THIS EVENT?
This event welcomes folks from all walks of life. We are LGBTQIIA+ informed (Wilrieke and most of their team identify as such), slut-friendly, trauma-informed, and non-monogamy informed. White folks are overrepresented in our team and life experiences are colored through that lens. We do come from different social backgrounds and have different life experiences when it comes to health, wealth, neurodiversity, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
We welcome people with specific needs as much as able-bodied folks. Feel free to reach out if you have specific needs that you wish to share with us.

The formal, year-long process along with Reid’s apology and resources were shared publicly and can be found at TinyURL.com/reidaccountability. Going forward, Reid’s projects and appearances will include pointing people towards resources and experts on restorative and transformative justice-based accountability processes.
