Performance model of sex, Angry Eye
Jan. 31st, 2012 08:55 amI just read an essay on the performance model of sex (versus the traditional commodity model), which really lays out the nature of how we can even have a concept of 'dubious consent' in sex, when it would make no sense for any other pleasurable hobby:
"B. B. King has played with everybody, but no one would argue that he asked for it if someone kidnapped him and made him cut a demo tape with a garage band of strangers."
There's also an analysis of how the Nice Guy mindset fits into the commodity model, which uses the delightful phrase "Pussy Oversoul." The whole thing is in Yes means yes! and can be viewed on Google Books here: Toward a Performance Model of Sex

I've seen several links in the last week to The Angry Eye. It's an hour long and it documents the educational exercise where a facilitator treats blue eyed people (defined as all non-brown eyed people) as systematically lesser. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. If you find it difficult to sit through, you're doing it right.
( Longer noodlings about this... )
