NIKKI HEARTS holds Ohio workshop

If you live in or near Columbus, Ohio, you might want to clear your Thursday night schedule for the month of February, and beyond. Porn performer and director Nikki Hearts is currently on hiatus from shooting, and is using her free time to launch a series of sexuality workshops beginning this Thursday, February 5.

The program, titled GCJ University, will feature four different classes focusing on different aspects of sexual exploration...

Feb. 5: The G Spot Workshop
Feb. 12: Oral Sex for Couples
Feb. 19: Kink 101
Feb. 26: Anal Sex for Beginners

As for the genesis of this project, Nikki had this to say...

I joined the porn industry through queer porn companies, with intent to promote sex positivity, feminist values, consent, and communication in my work. I eventually ventured into full-time mainstream porn, and directing, where I continued to do my best to hold these values strong. Sex education and positivity has always been extremely important to me, and at a time when I am on indefinite hiatus from shooting, I miss the sex industry, and I miss promoting these values that are so important to me! I am teaming up with The Garden (Ohio's largest adult retail store) and The Chamber (adult fetish retail store), family owned sister-stores in Columbus Ohio, to launch GCJ-U. The Garden has been here since 1997, and the owner has always supported me, I worked for him before I joined the industry as well. When I proposed the idea, they were happily willing to provide the space, and whatever I needed to get this going. We plan to get involved in community events as much as possible, but beyond that we want to spread as much knowledge as possible. We'll be launching a Youtube channel with toy reviews and informative videos, along with a website. I am not sure where this new project will lead my career overall, I have certainly realized that I won't be leaving the sex industry any time soon, and hope this will open doors to much more.

Nikki has also been preparing intensely for these classes...

It has been interesting going from performing and directing full-time, which left me with a fair amount of free time to goof off and surf in LA... To being here, researching and studying and preparing presentations in an office full-time. It is really exciting to use that part of my brain again, and to be on track to build opportunities for the future.

Once classes get going we hope to expand by bringing in certified educators and other porn stars to teach and assist on topics that I am not as versed in.
