Slop.

Lol what a grift. I go to an actual sex con twice a year. There are like 500 people. Tickets are less than $100 bucks for an entire weekend. The speakers are actually real speakers who do sex and talks and teach professionally. The classes are usually "we ran out of chairs so stand in the back" full of people interested in the content.

The parties at night are included in your ticket. The entire venue becomes a dungeon. There are meet and greets and online ways to find people to hang or play with. All included.

The only catch is that you have to know about it and you have to be referred to it. Tickets still sell out and there's still a wait-list every single time.

$18,000? Lol. Lmao even.

I guess that's the ticket price for "I have no community, and am not interested in finding one or building community, so I have to pay to pretend to have community."

Sex is awesome. These losers are not.

Also Adam Conover is one of the least sexy people on the planet and makes no sense to be at a sex con.

If you have to learn how to fuck from Adam Conover you become officially straight no matter how you started

. “I thought I wanted titties and beautiful women but realized later that what I actually wanted was to be and be treated as someone worth knowing. antonymous attendee

Bro I could have told you that for $50. You didn't have to drop between 3 and 18 thousand dollars to learn that.

All genders and gender identities are welcome! This event leans heteronormative in that many sessions focus on classic dynamics between men and women, however anyone is welcome to attend.

Oh no wonder almost all the panels looked like useless bullshit

This is going to be a disaster.

How many guys are going to come away feeling like they're masters of courtship because they talked with flirt girls and hen get frustrated when that doesn't translate to women who aren't paid to flirt with them?

You'd have to pay me $18.000 to hang around with Aella, let alone flirt with her

Also took at look at the FAQ out of curiosity and immediately the first question was:

Will I have sex at the event?

followed up by

Will you teach pickup artistry?

and

Where do you stand in the culture war?

Seems like they know their audience pretty well

In case anyone didn't recognize the host like I did, it's the eugenics girl with odd proclivities that went viral a couple years ago

She showered 24 times in a given year.

There's nothing wrong with participating in orgies or group sex, but... I can't help but find this odd.

Marxists be like: Wall of Sext

The alienation this whole thing implies about our present society makes me genuinely sad.

adam conover is certainly a guy who likes attention

1. if you can and do drop $10K to practice flirting with paid conference staff in the "VIP" space of a conference, you are without hope for genuine connection in this world.

2. the "therapist/orgy organizer" professional title combo is giving me "sexual predator/procurer" vibes.

What's the refund policy?

No refunds after September 11

Hi, my name is CheesyCheese, I'm the co-inventor of LetsFuck.com

This could be anything from a new version of onlyfans, to a dating site, to a rebrand of some "sex positive" "leftist" Nebula type of video essay platform, to an ai sexbot farm. I have no idea and all seem equally plausible.

Isn't Evolutionary Psychology tied to eugenics. What is a eugenicist doing here

How the fuck do you manage to make sex uncool?!

There are many, many things I disagreed with my philosophy professors about in college, but one thing I absolutely agree with them about is that it is essentially impossible for you to be a 'philosopher' and have any kind of actually unique insights in the philosophical space before you are 40.

I'd make that 50 if you are a Youtuber.
