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 complexity 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 stuff: feelings, thoughts, somatic states, and desires that are only partly accessible.
We’ll look for more nuanced approaches—through reading queer theory, discussing, contemplating, sharing personal stories, becoming vulnerable, daring to ask uncomfortable questions, writing, and embodiment. Stimulate your brain muscles 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 stress out because you think something is wrong with you—join us! We’ll approach it as an opportunity for interesting explorations of new sensualities. The radicality of laziness, Bartlebian “I would prefer not to,” enjoying being broken, sloppy, unsexy, or prude is welcome here.
