WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS WITH CONSENT? & PROUD PRUDES. THEORY-CAFÈ
Part 1 – Consent is key, but oversimplified concepts of it make honest conversations about the messiness of sexual experiences impossible. When insufficiently theorized, it hinders the creation of safer and more meaningful encounters and resembles neoliberal politics: know your desires and manage risks like a CEO. But sex is full of unconscious elements: feelings, thoughts, bodily states, and desires that are only partially accessible.
We’ll explore more nuanced approaches—through reading queer theory, discussing, reflecting, sharing personal stories, opening up, daring to ask uncomfortable questions, writing, and embodied practice. Stimulate your brain in a curious, gentle, and playful atmosphere.
These methods are the same in Part 2—“Proud Prudes”—where we’ll share our experiences of not having or enjoying sex. If you feel stressed because you think something is wrong with you—join us! We’ll approach it as an opportunity for interesting explorations of new sensualities. The radical nature of laziness, Bartleby’s “I would prefer not to,” and the joy of being broken, sloppy, unsexy, or prudish are all welcome here.
