"I long for an erotic that is inseparable from the destruction of private property and the nuclear household."
Sophie Lewis
"The best part about sex and sexual exploration is that it& #39;s a type of empathy"
Ariella Thornhill
"I mean, I think there& #39;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& #39;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& #39;t have housing if you don& #39;t have privacy..."
you know, if you don& #39;t have a place to live if you don& #39;t have access to nice public space to flirt and hang out, you know, and ... I think it& #39;s, I think it& #39;s a more of an insidious source of erotophobia in a way that, we& #39;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& #39;s, there& #39;s, there& #39;s a lot of, there& #39;s a lot of rotted erotophobia at the heart of capitalist alienation" - @lfeatherz
"There& #39;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& #39;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& #39;t essential workers, you can guard and so on and so forth...
That doesn& #39;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."
