I was delighted to be invited back to Layman Pascal’s Integral Stage to discuss Wallflower at a Sex Party. Every week, we will have a casual backstage audio conversation about each chapter of the piece, culminating in an article detailing Pascal’s take on the philosophical and developmental questions raised in the series.
In this first installment, we discuss how I ended up at an Asheville sex party in the first place, the great need for folks to loosen their grip around ideology-as-salvation, the beauty of disintegrating social conditioning, the limitations of consent frameworks, and what I ate at the sex party potluck.
