Time to Press Reset on How we Have Sex, or Time To Revisit Lysistrata

May 26, 2019

Eve Eurydice speaks with feminist artist Belaxis Buil about giving meaning back to sex by redefining the magic of our sexuality, by resisting the religiocultural assumption that women seduce men, & by abstaining, Lysistrata-style, until we no longer feel that we are giving ourselves away. We discuss the value of being out in the public sphere & being in the present moment instead of in a state of permanently delayed gratification, while abstaining from celebrity & corporate culture which uses the female body to sell products & which veils us in layers of transactional exchange that disconnect us from each other. We discuss body image battles & the struggle to not dichotomize ourselves when our sex ed consists of porn or silence. We argue for sex as a spiritual exchange of energy, we demonstrate faking an orgasm & we brainstorm a performance piece of radical honesty that would chip away at the lineage of secrets we are raised on.
