~~~
We want to talk about sex.
We want to talk about touch and desire.
We want to talk about relationality.
We want to talk about pleasure, sexual health and taking care of our bodies.
We want to talk about how we learned to talk about sex.
About how we talk to our parents, our grandparents, our children, our friends, our kin, our lovers, our partners, our therapists about sex.
We want to talk about how we come to know ourselves through our bodies—and through each others’ bodies.
We want to talk about the sticky stuff.
About sex and bodies in all of their messy, euphoric and complicated glory.
We want to talk about talking before, during and after sex.
About consent.
About what comes after trauma.
About healing.
We want to talk about love, sensuality, cruising, futurisms, utopias and kinship, and all of their resurgent possibilities.
We want to talk about all of these things with you.
