I just posted a really violent, abhorrent, disgusting, gang rape story and it's getting killed in the votes and I love it. It has to do with Abject Sex.
Now this isn't real "Abject sex" or the "sex of abjection" which is a concept borrowed from the works of the critic Julia Kristeva in the Powers of Horror, where "the abject" is used to describe the grossest types of grossness (shit, blood, pus, corpses) and the breakdown in objectivity it forces on the observer, causing them to confront their own mortality. (see me if you want the details on this rather lurid theory of horror)
Rather, I'm using "abject sex" to refer to sex that quite clearly crosses the boundaries of what's usually acceptable in terms of respect for another's dignity and rights as an individual - things like beatings, masking, rough BDSM and rough sex in general.
The thing is, I'm getting a feel that the taste for abjet sex in general is on the rise, and the demand is coming from women.
A friend of mine at NYU tells me that BDSM is something of a campus fad right now, or at least sporting the clothing and gear, and now with this feel I get for this demand for abject sex stories, I wonder if we're not seeing some backlash against the whole idea of considerate sex and gender equality.
BTW, my story wasn't so much bandwagon hopping as it was a personal exorcism, a kind of half Grand Guignol, half farce, half pushing the envelope. Yes. Three halves.
