"Murder is a crime; describing murder is not.
Sex is not a crime. Describing sex is. Why?" Gershon Legman.
"If we were sexually liberated there'd be no president, no police
force, no night sticks, no governments." Germaine Greer.
Suzanne Brøgger
Hello, I Love You attempts to put sex in its
proper perspective, it is fun, joyful and serious in its message. Its
basis is Reichian ; like Reich the contributors believe that if we were
not sexually oppressed from birth by our social structure, there would
automatically emerge a freer more egalitarian society. The 50 writers
that have contributed to the book are aware of their sexual oppression/repression
and are actively exploring new ways of relating sexually. Most of the
writers agree that we should be able to relate freely sexually as soon
as we are physically able and should be encouraged to do so by those around
us. There s a Child's Sexual Bill of Rights included, which would seem
to be fundamental to any kind of sexual freedom for adults.
/.../ It is a provocative book. I found it challenging in that I would like to have these people's capacity for sexual and emotional exploration. They are exceptionally courageous to put their theories into practice - most of us have enough problems relating to just one other person. The concept of sexual liberation is tempting to contemplate. Would there really be a need for Women's Liberation, Black Liberation or any liberation movement if we had sexual liberation ?
