Le sexe en grippe - Le plaisir dans de sales draps

J’ai passé le dernier week-end au lit à me faire servir des tisanes de thym au miel par un mari bienveillant qui m’a refilé ses microbes comme d’autres une gono. Tant qu’à user les draps, j’ai lu sur le sexe. Et beaucoup. Future Sex, de la journaliste new-yorkaise Emily Witt, Le principe du cumshot, de la journaliste montréalaise Lili Boisvert, et Les luttes fécondes. Libérer le désir en amour et en politique, de l’artiste et militante québécoise Catherine Dorion, toutes dans la trentaine pour vous situer.

J’ai aussi regardé plusieurs épisodes de la nouvelle série Netflix Hotgirls Wanted : Turned On. Houlala ! Et moi qui pensais que nous nous étions libérées un peu. C’est pire. Le sexe est grippé.

Overdrive Magazine (1972-1973): Voice of the American Trucker

In the 1950s, American kids idolized cowboys – in the 1970s it was truckers.  There was an endless supply of movies painting truckers as anti-establishment heroes of the highway (Convoy, Breaker Breaker, Smokey & the Bandit, etc.), and God-knows their tool of the trade, the CB radio, was the coolest thing ever. (See Your Official Guide To 1970s CB Slang).  Truckers were seen as rebels, interstate outlaws, cowboys of the open road who didn’t answer to “the man”…. but the public’s fascination waned by the early 1980s. So, let’s have a look at the start of the Golden Age of the trucker in the covers and pages of the 1972-1973 issues Overdrive Magazine: The Voice of the American Trucker. Enjoy.

It’s No Accident We’re Addicted to Our Devices

There’s probably never been such a large population of addicts before. With our phones, tablets, and social media, we can’t look away for more than a few minutes at a time without feeling antsy. No meal is worth eating without an Instagram or Facebook snap, and couples text each other from different rooms in the same house, sending their messages up to satellites, around the world and back, just to travel a few yards. What’s wrong with us? Well, according to former Google product manager Tristan Harris, this didn’t just happen — programmers have been deliberately playing with the way our brains operate to turn us into addicts for some time. He calls it “race to the bottom of the brain stem.”

When these 19th century farmers wanted to talk about sex, they just invented a new language

In 1979, Johnny Carson told millions of television viewers he wanted to have sex. But only about a hundred people knew what he was talking about.
“If I was going to ‘burlap’ somebody, would that be good or bad?” he asked his guest, Bobby Glover, a resident of Boonville, California.
“I’d say it would be good,” Glover replied.
“Those people up in Boonville know what I’m talking about, huh?”
“They are rolling on the floor right now,” said Glover. The audience, who finally understood the joke, roared.

I Talked To 1400 Strangers About Their Sex Lives. Here’s What I Learned

When it comes to matters of the heart, I believe there are no questions and answers, only questions and ideas. So one year ago, I started Touchpoint, a town hall about sex and partnership, as a space for people of all gender identities, cultures, and sexual persuasions, to share their ideas and experiences in bed, in love, and in life.

On April 7, 2016, I hosted the first Touchpoint on the Lower East Side with ten friends. The question the group voted to discuss was, “How do I introduce BDSM into my relationship?”
I was wildly uncomfortable with this question. After all, I had no experience with BDSM. I barely knew what it meant. And I had never facilitated a conversation like that before.

The psychological benefits – and trappings – of nostalgia

In his song “Time Was,” counterculture singer Phil Ochs reminisces about a past “when a man could build a home, have a family of his own. The peaceful years would flow; he could watch his children grow. But it was a long time ago.”

To Ochs, simpler times were better: “troubles were few…a man could have his pride; there was justice on his side…there was truth in every day.”

Ochs recorded “Time Was” in 1962, when he was just 22 years old. He had yet to witness the most tumultuous parts of the 1960s – the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, the polarization wrought by the Vietnam War, and the civil rights and feminist movements.

Half a century later – with the rapid, dramatic consequences of social and political upheaval, with technological advances that have radically transformed our daily lives – some might similarly find themselves longing for a time when “troubles were few” and “there was truth in every day.”
