DR. SEYMOUR VILE'S "PLEASURE PHYSICS "
A LECTURE ON BLACK HOLES, QUANTUM PHYSICS, AND PLEASURE EDUCATION
TROUBLED BY THE INADEQUACY OF SEXUAL EDUCATION IN ALL FORMS -- PARTICULARLY FOR ANY PERSON OF THE NON-HETERONORMATIVE VEIN -- "PLEASURE PHYSICS ” IS A LECTURE THAT SPEAKS TO THE URGENCY OF REFRAMING OUR APPROACH TO TEACHING AND UNDERSTANDING NOT ONLY SEX, BUT PLEASURE ITSELF. DRAWING FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE RECEIVING SEXUAL EDUCATION -- AN AWKWARD STEW OF CONFUSING AND//OR INAPPLICABLE INFORMATION VARYING FROM ABSTINENCE TO FEARMONGERING TO COMPULSORY REPROSEXUALITY ( TYPICALLY BESTOWED BY AN ALREADY OVERWORKED AND UNDERPAID GYM TEACHER SLASH FOOTBALL COACH AND//OR SCIENCE TEACHER ) -- AN EXPERIENCE SHARED BY MANY, IF GIVEN ANY AT ALL, “PLEASURE PHYSICS ” FINDS ITS ORIGINS IN THE VERY CURRICULUM FROM WHICH IT CAME. THROUGH THEIR PERSONA, DR. SEYMOUR VILE, LETTUCE SUBVERTS THIS STERILE SCHEMA BY RECONTEXTUALIZING EQUALLY THE MESSENGER AND THE MESSAGE ITSELF. AS A QUANTUM PHYSICIST AND SCIENTIST, DR. VILE’S GENUINE UNINHIBITED ENTHUSIASM FOR THE TOPICS OF HIS LECTURE POSITION HIM AS IMPENETRABLE TO THE SHAME, FEAR, AND GENERAL DISCOMFORT PRESENT IN SUCH AN ENDEAVOR, INEVITABLY LENDING HIS VIEWERS AN INVITATION TO DO THE SAME.
PLEASURE IS THE GUIDING PRINCIPLE : REMOVING VICARIOUS EMBARRASSMENT FROM THE EQUATION OPENS UP THE POSSIBILITY FOR PLEASURE -- BE IT THE AUDIENCE’S OR SEYMOUR’S -- LONG BEFORE WE ARRIVE AT THE MOMENT IT IS MADE EXPLICIT AS THE LECTURE’S SUBJECT OF STUDY. DR. VILE’S PASSIONATELY DETAILED AND EARNEST EXPLANATION OF QUANTUM PHYSICS, GALACTIC COLLISIONS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, BLACK HOLES, SEAMLESSLY SETS UP THE METAPHOR FOR WHAT IS AT THE CENTER OF THE GALAXY OF INCLUSIVE PLEASURE EDUCATION : THE ANUS. THE BLACK HOLE IS TO EVERY GALAXY JUST AS THE ANUS IS TO EVERY BODY -- THEY ALL HAVE ONE. WITH THE HELP OF CERAMIC ANUSES AND A FABRIC GRAVITATIONAL WELL, DR. VILE INVITES PARTICIPANTS TO LEARN THE DELICATE CROSSING UNTO THE EVENT HORIZON, WITH DEMONSTRATIONS OF ANALINGUS, ANAL FINGERING, AND ANAL FISTING. FROM GRAVITATIONAL ATTRACTORS AND CONSENT TO REDSHIFTING AND ANAL BEADS, “PLEASURE PHYSICS ” PROPOSES A PROFOUNDLY INCLUSIVE AND QUANTUMLY SENSITIVE ALTERNATIVE TO THE ENIGMATIC REPRODUCTIVITY OF SEXUAL EDUCATION -- BUILDING A PRAXIS OF PLEASURE GROUNDED IN ( THE LAWS OF ) UNCONDITIONAL WONDER AND CARE.
