Talk - "Love, Desire, and Sexuality"
Passionate love, all heat and intensity, is a heady mix of desire and sexuality. But these three concepts are not always aligned.
Love can exist without sexuality, desire can exist without love, and sexuality without desire. Each has its own ways, shapes, and aims. Desire, by nature insatiable, becomes tyranical, while sexuality remains solitary and auto-erotic. Fusing together love, desire, and pleasure is a utopian dream, but humanity persists, drawn along by the sheer power of these experiences, in spite of their contradictions. For although they can be a source of pain, love, desire, and pleasures bring light into our lives, giving us the power to love, dream, and overcome the impossible.
