Anal Terror on Immediatism podcast

not sure how I feel about this title

These episodes are a complete reading (by listener request) of the text "Anal Terror: Notes on the First Days of the Sexual Revolution" by Beatriz Preciado, contained in Baedan 3: A Journal of Queer Time Travel, available from Contagion Press or Little Black Cart. The text presents history and analysis of the first few decades of the sexual revolution.

"Heterosexuality appears to be a wall built by nature, but it's only a language: a mass of signs, systems of communication, coercive techniques, social orthopedics and bodily styles.
"But who knows how one pierces a dominant language? With what body? With what weapons?"

What a great, thought provoking piece, especially in the context of last week's discussion here relating to pedophilia. Anal castration, especially as it relates to children in this idea of educastration is one of the most powerful method of sexual/Gendered repression/domestication. Two connections I would make, which I was shocked the speaker did not make the connection to Wolfi since they seem to pull on Wolfis work a lot, the first connection being to "Child Molestation vs. Child Love" which I think really touches on this castration of the Child, where they are made the targets of pedophiles through institutions instead of their own erotic actors. In a way then the anus of the Child is not exactly "closed off" or castrated but instead owned by adults typically in the form of parents or teachers such as in the father who denies his daughter sexual autonomy for his own sexual pleasure. The second connection then is to "Save the Children" a segment of a larger text which was a reprinted and reviewed in AJODA #19. It discusses the masturbatory practices of children, as well as the sexual/erotic/sensual incestuous pleasure of childhood and how this castrative force not only affects the sexual development of the child but how castrated children become castrated adults.

Is every new anews post going to devolve and be magically tied into pedophilia by A_Zed? Asking for a friend.

I think in a way you are sort of in the right direction in that the anal castration of queers also affects straights, such as how the sexual repression of children lead to sexuslly repressed adults. So then in a way the closing of the anus also affects straight people such as we see today in straight people who are deemed queer due to partaking in anal sex, especially in the practice of pegging.

The only anuses that should be of concern to anyone and which will cause terror are the cattle anuses which release a huge amount of the greenhouse gas methane.

Listen to the episodes and tell me the connection isn't apt.
