No one has the right to tell you how to fuck, according to Rachel Kramer Bussell in her latest Lusty Lady column at The Village Voice.
Arguing against those feminist “scolds” Ariel Levy and Pamela Paul, Rachel makes the point that enjoying sex – in any form – does not constitute a betrayal of feminist ideals.

Here’s a few paragraphs:
There’s a world of difference between being branded a sex object and choosing to be one under certain circumstances. Recall Tad Friend’s classic 1994 “do-me feminism” Esquire article, in which Lisa Palac said, “Degrade me when I ask you to” (emphasis mine)…
The feminist sex wars were largely fought before I was born, yet sadly, women continue to battle each other over what we do in bed, as if coming up with the most politically correct form of orgasm will automatically solve other inequities. I believe in advancing the cause of sexual freedom for everyone, by increasing our knowledge and offering room for fantasy and safe, nonjudgmental experimentation.
Sexual freedom is not the only, or the most pressing, issue facing American women today, but it’s vital to any true feminist movement. Excoriating other women and berating them for a host of erotic sins creates unnecessary divisions and puts people on the defensive. No one has the right to tell you how to fuck.
Indeed.
