Are you sure Audre Lourde wrote that? It sounds like one of Zhao's new age headtrips.

No, grizzle, I wasn't trying to advocate a return to some kind of literal tribal existence where a high priestess oversees all civic ceremonies. I'm simply advocating a return to the idea that women are sexually powerful, that they are sexual agents, and that they are not unilaterally victims of...

Lulz. Is there something wrong with being a tribe in whothefuckknowswhere? Didn't you just say something about not valorizing power? The only "real" cultures are huge empires, is that what you're implying here? I simply pointed out that matriarchal cultures--which are more common in non-Western...

Everything you've said in this thread is straight out of the right's playbook. Everything. Down to the specific wording. I could be reading an abstinence only health pamphlet. It's beneath mine to work on a construction site and spend the rest of my life at the chiropractor's, fwiw. This...

which basically = bisexual switch anyway I've found my calling in life

Oh good lord you're boring with your "truths"... Yes, it's quite certain that the reason why I can be a dom is the reason why I can dissect a cadaver without flinching. And why I like to do it, and find it fascinating instead of repulsive. I have decided to donate myself to the medical...

so much for "not-knee jerk pathologizing" First, feminists are not a monolith, and all feminists do not agree with you on this issue. How about men's bodies being bought for hard labor on construction sites, and so forth? Or don't men's bodies count? I keep forgetting--men can't get...

coda Telling, isn't it, that your argument hinges on the fact that prostitution is situated within capitalism, and that this makes it somehow extra-bad--as if your job isn't sitting in the same mire? What makes your job magically transcend capitalism? How are you not a shill for...

Can I see some links to studies that correlate rape incidence and porn consumption positively? Thanks.

This just keeps getting better all the time. I don't presume to know why everyone else on earth does what they do sexually. I'm very interested in understanding, rather than patly dismissing and judging, behaviors. I believe this is an essential step--the first step--in finding a way to change...

Read Anne Bolin and Patricia Wehelan's sex positive tome/anthropology textbook Human Sexuality and get back to me on how "uncritical" of the dominant culture sex positive feminists are. There are plenty more where that came from, too. I'm really starting to be amused by the boilerplate...

No, I think you sound like a fundamentalist on this issue because you do. You continually posit some "center" you get to speak from that no one else has access to, where you have the inside story, you're authentic, and no one else is. You get to decide that everyone else in the world who has sex...

You know, the irony of your position, and specifically your offhand dismissals of "hedonistic Californians", is that it's the sex negative conservatives with their "abstinence only education" global initiative/agenda that did more damage to this country and the world at large--caused more teen...

What is the point of talking to people like this? They really believe the Culture Fairy does everything. It's like talking to a fundie, only possibly even more pointless.

No it doesn't. It's a scientific fact that you can observe in nearly every species in the animal kingdom. More bog standard culture theereee. Oh noes, there are pictures of the wimmins on billboards!! The wimmins are having sex on the moving picshurrress!!! Oh noes! Women can't have sex for...

Roffle...oh god, that's good, I don't think I can beat that. I did go to my symbolic logic final tripping in undergrad, because I smoked this cigarette that someone had dipped and left in room and I didn't realize...

There are some really funny old threads round here. Misery loves company.

Including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism (to a lesser extent), and even Buddhism. Not so much the pagan ones, tho. Edit: I'd recommend some psychology texts if you really think people have sex "for kicks" primarily. Edit 2: Sex-positive oriented feminists and LGBT activists are the...

Yes there is an impulse to have sex per se. There is a drive to have sex in multi-cellular organisms. Sexual reproduction is 'blueprinted' into organic life forms (in two out of three domains) genetically. This drive is very "base-level" and it can attach itself (cathect) to almost any object...

Anyway... let's hear em, where are the mindblowing criticisms of sex that we should be living by?
