[Tsa] Lets Talk About (Racialized) Sex

[Julian Padilla]

HELP ME FINISH MY DIV 3
DINNER PROVIDED!!

Part of my Division III is the process of holding an inter-community  
dialogue on "race play", which is a form of role-playing involving  
racist language or scenarios to get off. I have conducted a review of  
literature, held two focus groups (one with students of color, the  
other with white students), and now i want to have a larger discussion.

No previous knowledge of S&M or race play is necessary (i will  
introduce them), but you must be able to discuss sex and race, in  
general. This will be an informal conversation over dinner, with some  
questions i have developed to prompt productive dialogue. All  
information is anonymous and i will take notes using pseudonyms so  
that i can write my retrospective, which will be included in my thesis.

Its a safe bet to say this is the first community dialogue on "race  
play" to ever happen on a college campus, and as a cutting-edge  
sexual practice it could be a lot of fun to come talk about!

Here is a teaser of some questions i might include:

What are the color of people in your fantasies?
What does anti-racist sex look like?
Have you ever had sex imbued with racial dynamics?

p.s. it is fine if you can only come for half of the dialogue
