The Horror of Desire: A Halloween Special!
Manage episode 345828891 series 3370031
How is it that desire, when taken to its conclusion, curdles into horror? For our Halloween Special, we linger with two transgressive erotic BDSM novels—first, with Pauline Réage's classic "Story of O" and then with its provocative leatherdyke echo in Jane DeLynn's "Leash"—to see the ways that our desire has the power to undo us. We have explored before how eroticism may destabilize us, stretch the ego like an overworn condom, or even make us stare into the abyss of our own dissolution—now we will stretch those limits as far as they can go.
Will we hide from desire—repress it and hope it goes away instead of coming back someday in even more monstrous form—or do we open ourselves up to it even in all its horrific power, and take the ultimate leap of faith? In the end, the choice is yours and yours alone.
Show notes:
This week we asked you for things you desire but are scared of on Instagram—these are shared in place of confessions.
Intro and outro song is "Bless You" by the Ink Spots Get access to full bonus episodes, an exclusive RSS feed, and more by subscribing our Patreon!
