Staci Newmahr

Reading this book is part of an ongoing project of reading about the Other, i.e. people who are significantly different from me. Newmahr argues that SM play distinguishes between intimacy and sex and that this play is more about creating a type(s) of intimacy than about sex per se. Sometimes the exposition involves too much jargon. Problematize was a verb I found, well, problematic; as Calvin or Hobbes said, "Verbing weirds language".
