WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS WITH CONSENT? & PROUD PRUDES. THEORY-CAFÈ
Part 1 – Consent is key, but oversimplified concepts of it make honest conversations about the messiness of sexual experiences impossible. Insufficiently theorized it hinders establishing safer & meaningful encounters and resembles neoliberal politics: know your desires and manage risks like a CEO. But sex is full of unconscious stuff: feelings, thoughts, somatic states & desires that are only partly accessible.
We'll look for more nuanced approaches - via reading queer theory, discussing, contemplating, sharing personal stories, becoming vulnerable, daring to ask uncomfortable questions, writing and embodiment. Stimulate your brain muscles in a curious, gentle and playful atmosphere.
Those methods are the same in Part 2 – "Proud Prudes", where we'll share our experiences of not having/enjoying sex. If you stress out cause you think something is wrong with you - join us! We'll approach it as a chance for interesting explorations of new sensualities. The radicality of laziness, Bartlebian “I would prefer not to” enjoying being broken, sloppy, unsexy, prude is welcome here.
