We have a really special episode for you today. Sagi has been temporarily banished, and we replaced him with the absolutely brilliant Alicia. Our cultural object this time around looks at the way Zoomers (Gen Z) relate to to sex. Some people claim they are not having enough of it, and some Zoomers claim that sex scenes in movies are non-consensual invasions of their innocence.
Throughout the episode, we assert the impossibility of treating sex as an act without boundaries, transgression, and intrusion.
Alicia wrote an entire dissertation, or at the very least an entire chapter, on this topic--and she argues that the new moralization around the prevalence of non-consensual sex has created its very own object: sexless sex. According to her, this sexless sex is even more transgressive and violent than the sex being condemned by the moral outrage.
You really need to listen to this episode to catch all the nuances of this discussion!
