In-Person Event
Sex, Desire + the Female Body:
With Sex Professor Dr. Nicole McNichols
Thursday, May 14, 2026
5:00 PM - 7:30 PM
What to Expect
Let’s talk. Real talk.
Pleasure, sex + desire.
About the female body.
She’s all about it all! Join the Number 1 Sex Professor in the country, Dr. Nicole McNichols, for an evening of the most direct, honest conversation about sex, desire + the female body. You’ll get it straight, bust the myths, and find out all about her very popular new book, You Could Be Having Better Sex. Because here’s the truth, most of us were never taught how our bodies actually work, let alone how to experience more pleasure.
So ask anything. Seriously. Nothing’s off limits.
Yes… it might make you blush.
It will definitely make you think.
And it just might change everything.
After a fireside chat with Dr. Nicole, our panel will be:
Michelle Billish, PA - breaks down what happens to our bodies through every phase of life because hormones, aging, and sex deserve better PR!
Claudia Johnson, MA, LMFT-S, CST - guides us out of performative, scripted sexuality and back into something far more powerful: our own desire, voice, and truth.
We’re excited to partner with Armoire for this event, a Seattle-based women’s clothing rental company rooted in helping women feel confident, expressive, and fully themselves.
Date: Thursday, May 14, 2026
Duration: 3 hours
Time: 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Location: Armoire (4786 1st Ave S #106, Seattle, WA 98134)
