Queer people may not have invented sex. But queers have long been pioneers in imagining new ways to have it. Yet our voices have been largely absent from the #MeToo conversation. What can we learn from the #MeToo conversation? And what can queer communities teach the rest of the world about ethical sex?
This provocative book brings together academics, activists, artists, and sex workers to tackle challenging questions about sex, power, consent, and harm. While responding to the need for sex to be consensual and mutually pleasurable, they resist the heteronormative assumptions, class norms, and racial privilege underlying much #MeToo discourse. These essays reveal the tools that queer communities themselves have developed to practice ethical sex—from the sex worker negotiating with her client to the gay man having anonymous sex in the backroom. At the same time, they explore how queer communities might better prevent and respond to sexual violence, without recourse to a police force that is frequently racist, homophobic, and transphobic.
Telling a queerer side of the #MeToo story, Unsafe Words dares to challenge dogmatic assumptions about sex and consent while developing tools and language to promote more ethical and more pleasurable sex for everyone.
