parthenogenesis: is one woman’s quest for an orgasm—despite not wanting one.About this Event
parthenogenesis:
8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
parthenos + genesis = of asexual origin
Since the late 1800s, the medical profession has diagnosed people who expressed little interest in sex with ‘sexual coldness’, or ‘sexual anaesthesia’.
parthenogenesis: is one woman’s quest for an orgasm–despite not wanting one. This is her self-seduction; a love letter addressed to you from the perspective of those like her, writing in invisible ink; their thoughts only revealed through acid and flame. To others, she is merely an attention-seeking millennial with an ‘internet orientation’. If she really wanted to, she could always self-medicate with the 'right person', injected deep inside her.
She isn’t healthy. She isn’t well. She isn’t right. That's what we all say.
“Because who would invest time and effort into a relationship that isn't going to get them any sex?”
Contrary to popular belief, she isn’t alone.
