While many of the new right’s thought leaders fancy themselves edgy for their refusal to play by liberals’ “woke” rules, in reality they’ve merely replaced one rulebook for another.
Taylor Swift the Celebrity is an example of sexlessness in modern culture IMO - the way she always wears corsets and miniskirts in the most nothingburger way possible and how everyone gave her shit when she was hooking up with Matty Healy
Maybe slightly off topic, but I feel like Arielle Isack's recent critique of the Brutalist relies on sex as a meaningful critical lens https://thepointmag.com/criticism/outwitting-history/ ... thought you might find that interesting too
I'd suggest that the "sex" you are referring to sounds strikingly similar to Audre Lorde's "erotic" — have you read that essay?
"The erotic is not a question only of what we do; it is a question of how acutely and fully we can feel in the doing."
I haven't but I will now!!
