Riane Eisler with Janie Rezner on "Women's Voices," Monday, November 10, 7 p.m. KZYX & Z discussing Riane's book, Sacred Pleasure, reclaiming Sex, Love, Pleasure and the Sacred. This is a two part series, Part II will be heard second Monday in December.
Why, when avoiding pain and seeking pleasure are primary human motivations have we been taught that the pleasures of sex are sinful and bad? Why do we so often find it associated not with erotic love but with the marketing of women's bodies or with sadism and masochism, with dominating or being dominated? Was it always so or was there a time before sex, woman, and the human body were vilified, debased and commodified? And, what personal and social changes can help us move toward a healthier, less dysfunctional, less hurtful way of structuring sexual (and more generally, human) relations?
Sex is one of our most basic human drives. Moreover, sexual relations are more physically intense, and often more fully felt, than any other personal relations. This is why the way sexual relations are constructed influences all other relations. And, how sex and sexual relations are defined is in turn also profoundly influenced by a society's economic, religious, and political structure.
Riane's important book, Sacred Pleasure, contrasts two different ways of constructing human sexuality within the larger framework of two very different ways of organizing human relations: one relying more on pain, note the dominator model of today's patriarchal world, and the other more on pleasure, the partnership model of 5,000 years ago, where for many thousands of years--much longer than the thirty to fifty centuries we call recorded history--life was peaceful and egalitarian, without war and rape and child abuse, and where for our ancestors both life and pleasure were within the realm of the sacred. It was a time where pleasure was sacralized, particularly that most intense physical pleasure we are given to feel: the pleasure of sexual ecstasy . .
And, where the female vulva was revered as the magical portal of life. Far from being seen as a " dirty cunt," women's pubic triangle was the sacred manifestation of creative sexual power and was the primary symbol of the powerful figure known in later Western history, as the Great Goddess; the divine source of life, pleasure, and love.
That's Monday, November 10, 7 pm KZYX and Z 90.7 Pacific time. Listen live at www.kzyx.org
