Foxy Folklorist: Folklore, Culture, Sex
7. Amy Roberts’s How I Discovered That Sex Isn’t A Vice – It’s A Liberation: I love, love, love that this author talks about her sexual experiences in a way that doesn’t fall back on addiction-model language to talk about why they were problematic. Here’s an example: “Sexual experiences can imprint on you for a lifetime and, as such, they demand a certain level of control – control that wild abandonand blackout drunk simply can’t provide. By treating sex as a method of destruction, I was limiting myself, my experiences and my capacity for growth.” That resonates with me a ton – maybe it will with you too!
