Can Rape Fantasies Be Feminist? The Yes Means Yes Show Episode 62
Jaclyn is joined by Tristan Taormino to answer this one once and for all. After that, we talk about why the question itself can be anti-feminist, what fantasies are for, why there is so much silence around them, and what happens when you ask a panel of porn producers, performers and scholars what they watch to get off. Oh, and we get really personal, and a little meta. Plus: advice for a listener who wants exploring a fetish but lacks the privacy or resources to do so.--Click here to listen!
