Der Sex tut mir leid

Pamela Russmann: Das myGiulia-Leitthema im August lautet „What a feeling“. Welches Gefühl verbindest du mit Sex? Beate Absalon:
Im Englischen würde ich „anticipation“ sagen, was im Deutschen leider meist als „Vorfreude“ übersetzt wird. In der englischen Bedeutung dieser gebannten Erwartungshaltung darf aber beides gleichzeitig da sein: Freude und Angst. Und ich mag an dem Wort Antizipation, dass es sich auf einen Zustand bezieht, der noch nicht eingetreten ist. Das verbinde ich auch mit Sex, dieses ewige Umkreisen von etwas, das sich irgendwie nicht endgültig zu fassen kriegen lässt.

"Ich frage mich schon: Wieso mache ich Menschen ein?"

"Ich frage mich schon: Wieso mache ich Menschen ein?"

Behutsam nimmt Jade eine pinke Silikon-Kuchenform in die Hand, die einer Gehirnhäfte nachgebildet ist. Darin eine dünne weiße Schicht, die Jade vorsichtig herauskratzt und in einem Fläschchen sammelt. Dann machen wir das Mikrophon an und fragen, was Jade da macht und warum :) Mit dieser Audioreihe möchten wir Euch Menschen vorstellen, bei denen man sich eine Scheibe abschneiden kann, wenn es um die Frage geht: Was macht man eigentlich in einem Playspace? Denn die kommen ja mit vielen Herausforderungen. Wie komme ich mit Menschen in Kontakt? Was soll ich dafür einpacken? Soll ich mir was vornehmen oder spontan gucken was geht? Wir hatten das Glück mit Jade…

Tantramassage: Decluttering, Recluttering & Beyond – A TWAPOS experience

so, here i am now: lying naked in the sun under an apple tree by the pool. thinking about sex & revolution. all i hear is the wind in the trees & birdsong, occasionally some donkey or peacock announce their existence. & there comes the happy puppy, enthusiastically biting me in the nipple – again. this is much nicer than i thought…

But I'm a Creep. A Lab report.

This text warmly wishes to accompany you before or after attending our workshop: ON CREEPY OLD MXN & BEYOND – & playSPACE, Saturday, 18.12.2021, at serrat(u)s bodywork in Zürich. – – – "How about I follow you around all day tomorrow?" - "But then I would know that... Maybe you could hire somebody I don't know to follow me around in secret like a stalker?" - "Oh, that's a good idea!" – Two people plot how to get to that feeling that sends cold shivers down your spine. Because something feels off, even if nothing clearly dangerous is happening. They are surrounded by a whole group of people who are compiling some sort of curiosity cabinet of such weird ideas. One person is thinking of designing jewelry out of clipped toenails, while another one wants to take up a creepy passion for a private collection: to secretely cut off a lock of hair from each of her lovers and catalog them. One woman kneads pizza dough to put on her face as a grotesque mask, because she was deemed too young and pretty to trigger this specific…

As many rules as necessary, as few as possible. The traps of deregulated sex positive spaces with a focus on gender inequality

As many rules as necessary, as few as possible. The traps of deregulated sex positive spaces with a focus on gender inequality

We are happy that we got the permission to publish our friend’s Anna Mense’s text that was first printed in the Journal of Positive Sexuality. Abstract: In order to explain suffering in contemporary romantic relationships, Eva Illouz (2012) looks at the consequences of the detachment of erotic and romantic encounters from committed relationships such as marriage. While this detachment is often referred to as a triumph of free choice and liberal loving, Illouz argues that it causes systemic inequalities between male and female agents. The article takes Illouz’s analysis as an incentive and a basis to study deregulated sex-positive spaces with regards to their risk to involuntarily reproduce features of socio-political domination. The discussion is driven by an interest in the question how options to explore sexual and romantic relationships can be developed without reproducing systemic disadvantages of heteronormative culture.
