About NOT GIVING A FUCK:
No more sex at last!
The pressure to have great sex is omnipresent today. Beate Absalon invites you to shake it off and explore the possibilities of headstrong and inventive pleasure.
You can feel sorry for sex. It would be a refuge for mutual good deeds and useless craziness - but it has become a cramped project that absolutely has to succeed for us to be considered successful, even where we are already doing better in queer-feminist terms.
In her search for de-stressing, Beate Absalon takes a culturally and historically informed look at the secluded but only supposed opposite side of sexuality: Unlust, asexuality, celibacy and dysfunction, which gleefully refuse to obey the sexual duty of service and open up unheard-of scope.
Press reviews:
"The book is inspiring because the reader can't help but think about their own patterns and beliefs in and out of bed."
- L-Mag - Das Magazin für Lesben
"'Not giving a fuck' can be a revelation, an impulse to recognize our forced sexual society and to question it for oneself. It is pleasant to read because the book is not only understanding and unprejudiced, but also links individual questions to the big picture."
- queer.de
"The author invites us to let go of the idea of having to experience insane sex. To find individual, independent and inventive pleasure instead."
- (Freizeit) Kurier
"We take the topic of sex too seriously. Real intimacy only arises when reluctance and non-performance are accepted as completely normal, says cultural scientist Beate Absalon."
- Stern online
About the author:
As a cultural scientist, Beate Absalon works on contemporary sexual culture. Combining theory with practice, she offers workshops on sexual forms of play under the label luhmen d'arc, in which attention is paid to ambiguities, socio-political contexts and non-cathartic feelings (such as awkwardness, shyness, laziness). >> More about Beata
