GEGEN Pleasure

Touch yourself.

Everywhere and every moment it feels right to you.
Close your eyes and enjoy the feeling of your own skin.
Look at your reflection and admire your beauty.
Get to know your body, each and every crevice.
Feel the pleasure that comes from yourself.

Pleasure informs all manner of human activities and yet its enjoyment is frequently viewed as a vice pursued by the depraved or a luxury conceded to the privileged. From food to sex to moments of relaxation, a lot of judgment, guilt and assumptions are placed on pleasure – especially for marginalized folks. But what would become possible if we started to understand pleasure as something everyone should have access to?

Reclaim your pleasure!

Pleasure is generated by the nervous system; it is a physical experience that is created in the body and belongs to the body – to every body. We have the right to feel pleasure in our bodies in any way we choose.

Pleasure is about empowerment.

Our ability to experience physical pleasure is connected to our ability to choose what feels right. By knowing what feels right, we learn to empower ourselves, give enthusiastic consent and care for each other. Reclaiming pleasure as power then begins the moment you allow yourself to wonder what feels right to you – instead of looking to external powers to dictate your desires, shames and fears.

Ask yourself what feels right.
Feel the pleasure of your own desire.
Experience pleasure with all your senses.
Enjoy the power of sharing your pleasure.

Pleasure is revolutionary.
