...Is the mind.
Session five of "Hysterical Literature". To see more sessions, click here.
On the surface, this video is all the things you would think it would be: artistic, erotic and extremely arousing. When watching for the first time, I found myself hanging on each word; waiting for any minute change in her body language -- a slight jump, a gasp, or a lilt in speech. The anticipation was most pleasurable. Having the mind flesh out exactly what is happening under that table was perhaps the most erotic thing I have ever experienced.
After reading on the origins of making this project, I admire the series even more.
Such a powerful commentary about the series, from Amanda Hess:
“Her choice is between sexual object and human subject. That’s always been a false dichotomy, one built to separate women into good girls and damaged sluts, then exert control over their sexuality at both ends. Hysterical Literature hits the internet at a time in human history where it is increasingly possible for women to obliterate that distinction, to express our sexuality without surrendering our agency.”
- Amanda Hess, Blogger: Sex With Amanda Hess
This speaks to me on many levels: as one of those women who has chosen to not align herself to society's archaic and flawed dichotomy; as a feminist who believes that women (let alone ANYone) policing other women's behavior is an ironic tragedy; and as a woman who isn't afraid of being completely in control of her being -- sexually, mentally, and somatically.
Enjoy the catnip for thought :-)
