The Social Script says good sex should be instinctive that needing to ask means something is missing. So we stay quiet and hope they figure it out. They don't, nobody does. Communication is not the opposite of chemistry but a prerequisite. #Sexuality #Relationships #Psychology #SexualScripts

Have you ever questioned how much of what you know about sex is actually a social script, not a personal choice?
Most of what we believe about pleasure and intimacy was handed to us before we ever had the experience to question it. 📕

♂️ What Ramsey says about financial wealth applies equally to emotional, marital, familial “wealth.” Pay attention. Take responsibility.

“Ever notice how blaming others keeps you stuck, but taking ownership feels like flipping a switch? Responsibility sets you free because it gives you the power to change your situation.”

“If you think you always need to be emotionally disconnected toward your soft slides and dominant, you’ll never be able to create a happy long-term relationship in which you both feel good —so that’s a big problem right now where young men are tricked into this trap into becoming someone neither they or women like.”

New demonym just mutated: gender/queer.
As in genderqueer or ... Sexqueer?
I gotta be honest, I still adore the simpliciry of MOGAI, tbqh.
Speakable, categorised, and (not completely, unfortunately, but mostly) inclusive.
I know queer isn't something every member of mistreatment person interactions is comfortable with.
There probably isn't "a" solution.
I do like gender/queer for most cis hets and MOGAI for in-group comms.

James Baldwin's "Giovanni's Room" impressed me both for its exploration of love, sex, and sexual identity and for the skill with which the author has the narrative unfold; I was gripped from beginning to end.

Although the protagonist is white, I know that some critics believe that the theme of race is obliquely present by virtue of the salience of various kinds of minority identity throughout the novel.

Quite aside from it being a "good read", I would recommend it to anybody interested in the literary treatment of bisexuality.

Expatriation also figures as an important theme. These words hit home with this migrant:

>> You don't have a home until you leave it and then, when you have left it, you never can go back. <<

"Home", of course, can be more than a geographical location.

Business Insider: Sora might have a ‘pervert’ problem on its hands. “At first, it was just one or two videos. But it picked up steam. In the last week or so, 10 out of the 25 most popular cameos using my face are various fetishes, including one where I’m a centaur-woman pregnant with octoplets. It’s not just me, either.

#Crimethinc: From #Inclusion to #Resistance - Neither Trump’s Trans Ban nor Assimilation, but Total Liberation

2017-07-27

[Excerpt]: "What’s radical about trans students contesting bathroom and gender assignment is the possibilities this opens for all students to contest #authority. If we don’t accept their rules regarding which toilets to use, why should we accept the legitimacy of the system that functions as a school-to-prison pipeline? While we support anything that can reduce the misery of trans kids, we also recognize that trans-inclusive bathroom policies are a safety valve intended to divert student resistance and to bolster the legitimacy of a failing public school system. As with marriage and the military, trans liberation in schools isn’t just a question of easing our inclusion into them. It would demand something more like #dismantling them altogether.

"It’s strategic for defenders of the status quo to re-center the #LGBT rights debate around trans people in the military at this moment. As #transgender, #genderqueer, and #NonBinary communities are appearing in mass media and popular consciousness in unprecedented numbers, an optimist might speculate that US gender relations could come up for renegotiation—along with all the institutions they undergird. What better way to protect those relations and institutions than by reducing the scope of the discussion to the most reactionary formulation possible: integration into the military?

"It’s better for both liberals and conservatives that we stop talking about radically #reconfiguring #HealthCare, #sexuality, #education, the #economy, and numerous other social institutions shot through with #patriarchal norms."
