Ashley Robertson

Ashley Robertson identifies as a feminine, ethically non-monogamous, doll.

With over a decade of experience in the BDSM scene, she isn’t shy of perverse topics. She is a liberated, educator who wishes to share with others the freedom of sexuality without shame.

With three teaching degrees, she’s fed up with the idea that learning comes from a constrictive set of standards. Instead, she assumes innate curiosity in all people and crafts workshops and activities that invite introspection. She’s at her happiest when demonstrating consent with youngsters, guiding youth into comfort surrounding condoms, and answering questions about sexuality honestly.

She facilitates adaptations of the Our Whole Lives curriculum adapting the workshops to fit diverse audiences. This non-coercive, comprehensive approach to sex ed is what we all wished we had in high school.

Workshops for families, kids, and youth:
  •   Wonderful Me In this 3-part series, kids in grades k-2 will gather virtually over breakfast. We’ll discuss consent, bodily autonomy, personal protection strategies, and personal empowerment. Content shared is derived from the Our Whole Lives k-1 curriculum.
  •   Respectful Potty Training & Early Consent Practices Join parent educator and childcare expert Ashley Robertson as she sheds light on this developmental milestone and ways to create foundational trust and respect during this transition.

    What does readiness mean? How can I be respectful of my child and hold consistent expectations? How can I teach consent and require my child to sit on the potty? How do I avoid shame for accidents? What are the actual skills I need to teach?

    Through this workshop, participants will be able to:
    • List signs of readiness for potty training;
    • List ways their individual style of parenting/child-rearing could affect potty training;
    • Explain all the parts of consent;
    • Explain the roles of consistency and using simple language during this milestone; and
    • Feel empowered to guide their child through potty training as the expert

Gather your family around their devices and log in for an evening of sex ed basics. Content will be based on the Our Whole Lives curriculum which is not values-based, coercive, or based on the gender binary. All are affirmed and welcome. Make sure you have at least one condom and one banana/zucchini for interactive practice. Topics Introduced:
    • The Circles of Sexuality

    • How to Use Condoms

  •   How to Create a Sex-positive Family Culture How often does your family include a vegetable with a meal? Are you an outdoorsy family? How often does your family consume media together? D o you play games together? Who cooks? How does your family mark special holidays or milestones?

    We establish a family culture in many ways. The way we address, dismiss, or make room for conversations about sex is no different. You can take an active role in giving identity to this part of your family culture. Take this workshop to learn tips and resources for intentionally building a safe space for topics surrounding body shapes, functions, boundaries, and desires.

Workshops for adults:
  •    Beyond Condoms! Sex Ed for Adults: Identifying and Discussing Your Risk Profile It’s been a long time since you sat in a high school classroom for sex ed. What’s new? What’s changed? A LOT. Join this informative & open discussion about sexual health, healthy relationships, communication and sexual orientation. It’s never a bad idea to learn how to have a meaningful conversation with partners about healthy sexual practices. In this workshop, participants will:
    • Learn about the sexual arousal cycle
    • Review STIs and transmission prevention
    • Learn what can be done before, mid, and after sex to reduce risk factors
    • Review all of the parts of Consent
    • Discuss the power of language
    • Practice dialoguing about their risk profiles
  •    Spicing Up Your Sex Life It’s rare to have a space created for real, facilitated conversation to take the pulse on your sex life. Well... here it is! Let me guide you through discussing your preferences, wishes, and fantasies. You’ll learn about the Gender Unicorn, create a Red-Yellow-Green list, and have opportunities to ask all of those questions you’re not supposed to ask.
  •    Discovering Your Complex Sexual Self: The Circles of Sexuality Most adults remember their sex ed class (if they had one) including penis-in-vagina intercourse, reproduction, contraception, and sexually transmitted diseases. There was no mention of pleasure, sex work, fun, identity exploration, sexual orientation, social media, etc. This is because most curriculums only share information from one of the 5 Circles of Sexuality.

    The Circles of Sexuality is the foundational resource of the Our Whole Lives sexuality education curriculum. It encompasses ALL of who we are and not just the parts between our legs. Feeling safe, secure, bonded, and trusted to be able to share one's reality authentically plays a dynamic part in establishing and strengthening intimacy for all people.

    Wondering what you missed growing up? Want a comprehensive view of your sexuality? Take this interactive class!
  • Don't see a class here? I'm happy to work with groups and organizations to craft workshops based on medically-accurate, inclusive content and your needs.
