"Rescue your sexuality from the definitions and delineations slipped around it like a noose by external forces: the leering billboards and romantic comedies, the expectations of your friends and parents and paramours, the television programs and other social programming devices that would dictate desire and limit the erotic to the strictly sexual. The powers that be have everything at stake in keeping your sexuality emaciated and confined to the specific act of physical intercourse, to one routine and one partner and one ghettoized category, so you won’t discover in it the freedom that you could be living around the clock, outside their control, beyond their target markets. But one step outside the lines, and the world is yours." - CWC Texts : A to Z : Eight Things You Can Do to Get Active
I’ve been thinking about sexuality a lot recently. 'Sexual' is something I've often been labelled... even down to my body language, or the fact I tend to keep eye contact through a conversation. My creative drive and sexual drive are one and the same for me. It’s still seen as taboo... gosh that girl is sexual assumption assumption label label etc etc it goes on forever. Desire and the erotic are limited by the world around us... you know how people say they can see beauty in everything? The same can be said for sexuality. It’s in the world around us, and it doesn’t have to be naughty or taboo or wrong, it can be fluid, growing and free. It’s alive in nature, art, literature, language, perception and in whatever you find to be sexual. That’s the wonderful thing about fetishes; one exists for everything.
Untie me from your political bondage, I wish to be free. I find mouths facinating.
