Pleasure is rarely talked about in sex education, but for many people pleasure is the foundation of their sexual experiences and even their understanding of themselves.
Pleasure is also often reduced to orgasms and sex toys (which are important parts of pleasure!) but pleasure can be more radical than just that perspective.
Who gets to feel and seek pleasure? What systems are our feelings and perceptions of pleasure rooted in? How does the battle between pleasure and shame play out in my life?
How do we make social justice the most pleasurable human experience?
Author and editor adrienne maree brown finds the answer in something she calls “pleasure activism,” a mix of healing and happiness that changing the world is just another form of work.
