Why Pleasure Matters

I write and talk a lot about pleasure– my own pleasure, the pleasure of folks I am in community with, the concept of pleasure in general. While I’ve seen much more of this conversation happening online and in-person, we are still working to undo so many of the anti-pleasure messages and structures that are embedded in dominant culture and that we are conditioned into believing. My intention here is to make the space to be in conversation about what pleasure is, how we can embrace pleasure, feel good, and release the guilt.
