The Eternal Cycle of Desire

In this conversation Owen and Raven begin by discussing autoeroticism and autogynephelia, a theory for understanding transgenderism different from the usual gender theories. They continue to think about sexual subculture and the broader 20th and 21st century context, then open up a group discussion which begins to explore the idea of ritual time vs ordinary time and how we suffer when the distinctions break down.
