Neptune Henriksen - With Legs Wide Open
Sex. Let’s talk about it. The challenges, the beauty, and the healing possibilities. Be guided through the topic by critically-acclaimed comedian, experienced sex worker, renowned sl*t, and most importantly, pedantic freak: Neptune Henriksen.
In this deeply dark comedy, Neptune explores curing their CPTSD with medicinal cannabis and sex; when talk therapy, various diagnoses, and a 72-hour-hold weren't enough. Part TEDTalk, part comedy, all hot and steamy.
‘With Legs Wide Open’ dives elbow-deep into sexuality, communication, and therapy, but don’t worry – Neptune’s a professional, they’ll talk you through the whole thing, nice and gentle.
