72. Refusing Compulsory Sexuality

Sensual Self with Ev'Yan Whitney

Are you trying to be someone you're sexually not? In this one, Ev'Yan speaks with asexual storyteller and author of 'Refusing Compulsory Sexuality: A Black Asexual Lens on Our Sex-Obsessed Culture' Sherronda J Brown about the ways compulsory sexuality has shaped and harmed our sexualities. Sherronda talks about how compulsory sexuality shows up in our world, its links to systemic oppression (like ableism, racism, and fatphobia), and how we can see asexuality as a queer identity to radically reject it. Ev'Yan also shares a practice to help you uncover your sexual authenticity outside of stories of "should".
