Sex can be physical closeness without true presence. You can touch and be touched while still escaping your own body. Tantra asks something deeper: are you truly where your body is? 🌿

Choking is sold to teens as a safe sexual practice. The research says it never is
By Alyx Gorman

More and more young people are engaging in sexual strangulation. But experts say there’s no safe pressure – and we have to start talking to teenagers about 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.

Book Review: King Kong Theory by Virginie Despentes

Virginie Despentes’ King Kong Theory is a fierce and foundational text of modern feminism, a Molotov cocktail in book form. Part memoir, part punk manifesto, it is a raw, unapologetic, and deeply personal exploration of gender, power, and sexuality in our modern world.

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Genre: Non-fiction, Memoir, Essays, Feminism

Publisher: Fitzcarraldo Editions (UK, 2020), The Feminist Press (US, 2010)

Review in one word: Joyful

Originally published in French in 2006, this classic feminist work is now available in English. Despentes is a punk iconoclast, rebel writer and confrontational filmmaker. Arguably her most famous book is her first novel Baise-Moi, was later adapted for the screen. She is the author of more than fifteen works, including the acclaimed Vernon Subutex trilogy. Always seeing life from the outskirts, Despentes draws from her own experience as a former sex worker and rape survivor for her scathing and excoriating analysis of surviving in a world mired in misogyny and misandry.

Far from being depressing in nature, this book is irreverant, hillarious and cheeky in its analysis of our world.

There’s a whole range of taboos that are exploded in this book. As she states in the explosive opening, “from the realms of the ugly, for the ugly, the old, the bull dykes, the frigid, the unfucked, the unfuckable, the hysterics, the freaks, all those excluded from the great meat market of female flesh”.

The essays in this book are provocative, explosive and generous in their philosophical reach and insight. Despentes examines concepts of rape, prostitution, pornography and the myth of the ideal woman. She strongly rejects victimhood and refuses to apologise or explain her reasons for doing anything she has done.

The book shows its age in the discussion about the ultimate waif-like beauty of the 90’s – Kate Moss. Despentes joyfully aligns herself not with the unreachable ideal of Kate Moss but instead with the mythological monster – King Kong who is beyond male and beyond female. He is a potent symbol of polymorphic sexuality and raw power before he is captured and destroyed by society.

The overarching themes are of railing against oppressive forces of sexual and societal control in our world are refreshing and interesting. I particularly enjoyed the ethos so closely intertwined with rebelious culture, art and music which showed in her amazing Vernon Subutex series. Despentes argues for a “new punk feminism” that embraces and loves what society deems monstrous or unacceptable in women and any one else who feels marginalised.

She challenges the binary thinking that pits “good” women against “bad” ones, virgins against whores, and victims against aggressors. Her style is blistering, direct, and brutally honest, characterised by precisely phrased rage and a refusal to soften her message for the comfort of the reader.

Despentes’ tone is provocative, warm and unapologetic. King Kong Theory is an essential work that rejects polite discourse in favour of a raw truth about sex and power that is as uncomfortable, liberating and joyful. I cannot tell you how much this book means to me, it is foundational, liberating and life-changing in every way.
