the way the internet has privatized & monetized queer sex has stopped lots of u from understanding the scope & scale of public policing of queer sex. like u r ALLOWED by the same policing apparatuses to ogle porn in private that visits violence upon poor ppl for fucking in public

idg how ppl don't realize, like notice how esp women whose OF's/internet SW accounts get made public are ostracized & fired from their jobs or even put on sex offender registries cuz ppl non-consensually "exposed" other ppl to their SW. how far are you from being made public?

how far r u from being made houseless & having nowhere else to have sex or any intimacy? how far r u from the corner? & how far are you from the social precarity that these places signify: the policing & criminalization & the pathologization that grants u a feeling of superiority

for me this overlaps w arguments arnd class, cuz the "get a room" response, at times tells me that most of y'all rlly think your class position is so secure that you could never end up on the street--which is statistically, & variably naive. this should be in your "class analysis

& should def be part of your abolitionist politics. reverting to a legalistic definition of self-posession "well what abt ME being 'exposed' to them is rlly not far from the way rich ppl & the housed talk abt houseless ppl living & going to the bathroom outside, think abt this
