Sex. Let’s talk about it. The challenges, the beauty, and the healing possibilities. Be guided through the topic by critically-acclaimed comedian, experienced sex worker, renowned slut, and most importantly, pedantic freak: Neptune Henriksen.
In this deeply dark comedy, Neptune explores curing their CPTSD^ with medicinal cannabis and sex, when talk therapy, various diagnoses, and a 72-hour-hold weren't enough. Part TEDTalk, part comedy, all hot and steamy - but that's mostly the stage lights.
‘With Legs Wide Open’ will dive elbow-deep into sexuality, communication, and healing, but don’t worry – Neptune’s a professional, they’ll talk you through the whole thing, nice and gentle.
Praise for Neptune's previous works includes:
