Thank you, Jeni! I absolutely love this post and how you make it clear that pleasure and sensuality help us feel more (I was struck by your words, "pleasure necessitates an acceptance of pain"). I too believe that pleasure can be a delicious form of resistance, not as an avoidance strategy, but rather as a way to root us into ourselves and reclaim our power from structures and beliefs that aim to control us. Can't wait to see what's next. 💚
Right on
Oooh, Jeni! I’m thrilled to read that you’re working on a book! In the meantime, THIS is delicious. Thank you for your words. 😋🥰
Thank you! I’m going to keep exploring and I’d love your thoughts!
I’d buy this book! Good luck with the publishers!
Oh Jeni! This manifesto is just what the world needs. Beautifully written! I can’t wait for more. ❤️
Yes.

Take the red pill! :)
I think you're on to something. It's odd how often "sinful" and "decadent" are used to describe food in general and ice cream in particular.
Yes! So true.
This is such an amazing observation, “…our culture has an aversion to pain and is thus unable to experience genuine pleasure.”
In the bit too distant past I was one of the Americans that was triggered by these ideas. Grateful for an amazing wife who helped me open my eyes.
Thank you for sharing and I hope you received good news in the proposal!
