"I long for an erotic that is inseparable from the destruction of private property and the nuclear household."

"The best part about sex and sexual exploration is that it's a type of empathy"

"I mean, I think there's a real defensiveness about the pursuit of pleasure and, and about the kind of hostility or suspicion toward the subcultures that, you know, attempt to pursue erototica" @lfeatherz
@natalieayay "So let's talk a little bit about our favorite subject of how capitalism gets in the way of good Sex."
"Ariella touched a little bit about this in her in her comments and also the end, and a lot in the in the interview with Sarah in lux... You know that material conditions of capitalism really do get in the way of pleasure if you don't have housing if you don't have privacy..."
you know, if you don't have a place to live if you don't have access to nice public space to flirt and hang out, you know, and ... I think it's, I think it's a more of an insidious source of erotophobia in a way that, we're conditioned to to work and work enough that we can
reward ourselves with pleasure that is expensive. You know, as opposed to, you know, like sex is free... I think there's, there's, there's a lot of, there's a lot of rotted erotophobia at the heart of capitalist alienation" - @lfeatherz
"There's been a popular notion of anti-racism that if you look inward question your habits prejudices behaviors emotions and feelings, and then change them. You will create a society that is more racially equitable, and there is some value to understanding and removing bias....
what I think happened quite often is that interventions, typically go along that line, so they look at individual behavior, thoughts, feelings, and actions, & then offer a solution in modifying that... But no individual modification can change structural inequalities." - Ariella
"Even just, there's been a lot of discussion over about how COVID was great, it allowed people to take walks there was kind of this like escape from work for certain people, if they weren't essential workers, you can guard and so on and so forth...
That doesn't apply to everybody... the same is true with sexual freedom, it may not be the case that every person can practice radical self-acceptance, and then have access to the things that they want, particularly when those things are medical services or cost money currently."
Taking audience questions now!
