This episode explores queer sexual autonomy through a reproductive justice lense. The feminist sex wars of the 1970s and 1980s opened up a conversation about erotica, porn, and sexual matters in the queer community. This podcast explores the history of these debates and conversations, and frames it in the context of today’s conversations surrounding queer sex. I aim to highlight the juxtaposition between the discussions of the 1970s and 1980s and the discussions of today about the place of queer sexual autonomy.
