Speaking Body | InForm: Episode 1

Show Notes

Intro:

First episodes of Seasons 2 of InForm:Podcast! In this season Neil will be joined by Jared, and we will continue to talk about things & stuff in an InFormal but (hopefully!) InFormative way.

What you're hearing is our third attempt to record the show. (The first two did not go all sorts of bad because Neil did not check batteries...)

What are we talking about?

Intro? — InForm:Podcast Season 2.

1. Sex is a deconstructive of identity (not constructive).
— Sexuality?
— Sexual relationship?

2. “There is no such thing as a sexual relationship”
— There is no such thing as a HARMONIOUS sexual relationship.
— If there is harmony the relationship is not sexual.

3. Imaginary VS real.
— The relationship (attachment) is imaginary
— Sexuality is Real
— The sexual relationship is the addition of the real
— this addition of the real leads to a lack of harmony.
— It disrupts (deconstructs) the imaginary identification.
