Public Sex: The Culture of Radical Sex QUOTES

1 " Being a sex radical means being defiant as well as deviant. "

― Patrick Califia-Rice , Public Sex: The Culture of Radical Sex

2 " It should not be a crime to discuss any idea, however outrageous "

― Patrick Califia-Rice , Public Sex: The Culture of Radical Sex

3 " Insisting on maintaining dignity at all costs is paralyzing. Mistakes are informative, and so is playing the fool "

― Patrick Califia-Rice , Public Sex: The Culture of Radical Sex

4 " If a young person is surviving by trading sex for the thing they need, what useful purpose is served by criminalizing that activity? Doesn't everybody have the right to try and survive? it might cost more to create shelters or group homes, drug treatment programs, schools for emancipated minors, counseling services, medical care and job training. But such programs can salvage human lives that are otherwise going to be cut short or wasted.
If we can afford massive kiddy porn stings, why can't we afford to do this? Is it because, as a society,we obtain more pleasure out of trying to control young people, and punishing the minors who escape our control, than we would out of taking good care of kids who are in trouble? "
