You cannot ban me in a way that matters.
In my previous post titled “Paraphilia as an identity” I made a brief reference to the origins of this term. I didn’t know enough to go into detail about it, so I just said “It was made up by a researcher (although not a doctor) Friedrich Salomon Krauss in 1904 to denote any non-procreational sexual behavior”.…
If you’ve been following inner map community discourse for the past year, you’re probably aware of the flag drama. Partly covered on the Map Wiki here and here, it gives an interesting example of political dishonesty. In 2009 a map group Newgon tried to host a map flag contest. This was not the first attempt…
As some have seen, there appeared two alternatives to the term “map”. “Yap”, “youth attracted person”, coined by Lilitha around the last New Year, and “myap”, “minor/youth attracted person”, a blend, crated by Pappy a few days ago. I want to try to compare them, their strong and weak sides, with as little bias as…
The following text contains much more explicit references to trauma and abuse than in my usual writing and will probably be an upsetting read for most people. An idea I kept returning to for the past few weeks – writing down my exact history with uncleanness and trying to summarize how it as a concept…
I need a space to store some of the historical facts I found while browsing queer topics, as well as some of my thoughts about them, and I decided I might as well turn it into a blog article. This is going to be much less put together and more like an assortment of historical…
Paraphiliac disorders are an unnecessary and harmful diagnostic category. I have written about this multiple times, but never before put all of my thoughts in one place, so here we are. A while ago I made this infographic about the pedophilic disorder specifically: I believe it makes my key point clear enough: this term lumps…
If you’ve been out as a map in any context even briefly, you probably were told that your attractions are a sickness and that you need to “get help”. Or maybe you saw the Wikipedia page on pedophilia, one of the few pages with restrictions on editing, that states pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder. In…
Commissioner/performer is a pair of sexual roles I noticed and gave name to. They are supposed to be an addition to other, already described sexual dynamics, such as dom/sub and top/bottom. A commissioner is the person who expresses a request for certain sexual things to be done, “commissions” them. A performer is the person who…
“I support every form of [sexual] self expression, for as along everyone involved is a consenting adult” is something you will hear often if you do any sexuality-related discourse. It is believed to be a very radical and liberating position. However, it is not. Reason number one, the most important and obvious: younger people have…
“Love nihilism” is a concept I came up with about a year ago. I realized I need something like this when I noticed love being inserted more and more in political activism. At the core, “love nihilism” means criticism of love as a universal virtue, refusal to place love above any other emotion a person…
