Even his longer-form projects like Los Espookys or...

What happens at a sensual masturbation workshop? Well, it blew my mind.

"You are encouraged to make sounds, to moan, scream, gasp, say 'oh fuck!'"

Stepping into the Sensual Self-Touch workshop, I felt like I was entering another world. About 20 women and non-binary vulva owners were dressed in silk kimonos, popping sweets and fruits into their mouths, as they floated around a glowing, plant-filled room with soft lighting.
