Care and Keeping of You (you know, that American Girl book)ģ. My “LGBTQ+ Literature and Culture” professorġ0. Sitting on my purple couch, eating popcorn and googling the Come As You Are podcast, I thought about what this origin story means for me.
I think I would join the other folks in the docuseries to say I don’t really know what pleasure is my origin story is mostly about discovering what sex is. Pleasure can be sexual, but it also doesn’t have to be.
I think I could have a healthier relationship with sex and my body by defining what pleasure means for me, without the influence of sex and attraction. When I think of non-sexual pleasure, I instantly think of that scene in Eat. Where Julia Roberts is slowly eating spaghetti and drinking red wine whilst watching young Italians make out under a fountain, all while Mozart’s “Arie der Königin der Nacht” sets the mood.
