Sex and Relationships: Exercises
2: Depending on group size you can have several groups of
four people draw a “body map” on the long piece of paper
created by joining several flip charts with adhesive tape.
Groups should map out the shape of one participant’s
body. Then one-by-one participants name and identify
parts of the body that give them pleasure.
Explain that pleasure is something we can achieve in a
number of ways, including by ourselves! So even if you
do not have a partner you can still experience pleasure.
Encourage participants, if they can, to be specific and
try to be detailed about describing what gives them
pleasure. For example, “I like my breasts to be caressed
gently” or “I enjoy when I am kissed inside my thighs...!”
Acknowledge that it’s okay to say as much or as little as
we feel comfortable. It is important not to force anybody
out of their safe space. The important thing is for everyone
to have an internal dialogue and acknowledge their truth
to themselves.
The exercise should be approached with fun and it is
alright to provoke giggles and laughter! Humour can be
helpful in making us relax and therefore more willing to
contribute. Acknowledge that some of us may find this
exercise a little embarrassing and thus feel embarrassed,
uncomfortable or shy.
Sex and Relationships - 3
Remind participants that it is okay to participate according
to our comfort level.
This session can also be an opportunity to discuss
non-penetrative sex. Sexual activities to discuss could include:
• Massage
• Caressing
• Mutual masturbation
• Oral sex
• Sharing sexual fantasies
• Using sex toys
• Dancing
Those can all be fulfilling sexual activities, and it is important to
stress that some of them may also have a risk of passing HIV.
If safer sex information on those topics is needed, it can be
checked on the Aidsmap website. (Please note that you may want to
use a personal computer to access these sites, as many companies
will have a block on access to materials with sexual content.)
