Hello my Pleasure Seekers,
On todays show I have Award-Winning Scholar and Psychoanalyst, NYU's Avgi Saketopoulou explores some riveting questions in her new book, Sexuality Beyond Consent.
Question for you all, what if we took more risks with sexuality?
Rather than buy into the notion that trauma can be cured, she reroutes our attention to what traumatised subjects do with their pain. Concerned with forms of sexuality that lay beyond consent, Avgi discusses why such sexuality may be worth risking, and explains how risk can become a way of soliciting the future. Those who surrender to the fact that their pain cannot be eliminated, she argues, are sometimes able to do things with trauma.
As a queer woman and thought leader in her field of psychoanalysis, we go deep into this conversation, and this most definitely isn't one for little ears. We touch upon some intense sexual experiences, and how consent, while crucial, is not also not enough!
Enjoy my pleasure seekers!!!
