E-Mail: Anna. Mense phil. Ich wohne derzeit in Rostock. Mense, Anna , »Liebe und Emotionen. Mense, Anna , »Sexphilosophie«, Prae faktisch. Ein Philosophieblog. Projekt : begann ich die Arbeit an dem englischsprachigen Projekt Sex Speech. Ich bette die Untersuchung in das Spannungsfeld zwischen einem sex-negativen sozial-politischen Klima und einer aktuell florierenden sex-positiven Kultur, ein. I reflect up on the asynchronous sexual practice of an Impact Play , in which one person induces pain on another person within a consensual practice.
Part of my answer is that the realm of the sexual involves people at least as sentient beings , who have the capability to have joyful bodily experiences. Sexual engagements also posit an opportunity of involvement and interconnection with the world to people as conscious beings , who relate to their surrounding and to other people. And as historic individuals , who have an awareness of their respective body history and who learn from this history, in sexuality we may find a rich area of exploration and individual development.
As sexual beings we experience our body, we build connections and we learn about, as well as shape, our body history. In the course of personal development I find it an achievement rather than a byproduct of growing up to get and stay acquainted with oneself.
In the back of these questions lingers my intuition that bodily experiences form needs, which are being expressed in emotions. What kind of understanding and judgment underlie the attraction to a scene or a person one personally classifies as perverse?
What is so exciting about perversion? Could it be that even people who use »perverse« as a dismissive judgement are somewhat drawn to the perversion? What is the pleasure behind this? Is it possible that people use the term »perverse« when they are secretly attracted or aroused by something deviant whereas they would use a more — for instance —juristic terminology when they clearly want to distance from an action?
