camp! (the desire collective)
Aug 26th, 2008 by Viviane
. . . this year, though, i’m in a different place. i’m in a place where i want to see stronger ties within the community. i’m in a place where i want to see more personal responsibility, more ethics and more thought put into sex itself. i’m in a place where i want to see deeper platonic connections between people, and sexual connections that don’t necessarily end in sex. i’m in a place where i want to explore all that it means to be sex-positive, welcoming of new connections and respectful of old, and throughout fully responsible and honest about what i can and cannot do.
to that end, i’m going to sex camp with the intention of abstaining from actual sex. i’ll definitely be playing with people, both sexually and in a bdsm context, but i want to be able to forge strong platonic connections that don’t rely on actual penetrative sex. this is an area i’ve always had trouble in, and i think going to camp with these boundaries clearly in place will enrich the experience this time around.
