PAGE 2 Q-Notes ■ July 1986 i Playing Doctor Was So Delicious. You remember: it was scary, tantalizing. We usually took off our clothes. Back then, we were so open to each other, so trusting. We gave each other such delight. As we grew up, we closed a lit tle year by year. Sex lost its innocence. Even worse, we learned not to be intimate — physically or emotionally. Now there's a workshop that helps gay and bisexual men break through the barriers we've erected that block our ability to love ourselves and others uncondi tionally. In this safe and nurturing workshop, we learn again to openly enjoy sensuality, closeness, massage. We look at assertive ness, personal myths, empowerment. Actually, we've had unconditional love in us all along. We just have to learn how to find it again. Please join us. Introduction to CONNECTIONS workshops: Mondays, 7:30 p.m. Level 1 (no nudity) weekends: July 12-13, Aug. 9-10 or Sept. 13-14. Level 2 (some nudity) weekends: Sept. 26-27-28 or Oct. 24-25-26. For price and registration details, call Clay Felts, 704/553-0735.
