\"2\"<\/a>I absolutely love this six-minute video by Karen B.K. Chan, tweeted to us by Alex Darasang<\/a>. \u00a0A professional sex educator, she tries to re-frame how we think about sex, and sexual consent, by offering a different metaphor. \u00a0While we use metaphors to talk about sex all the time — weirdly, often related to carpentry: bang, nail, screw, etc. — she wants us to\u00a0introduce\u00a0an alternative metaphor: jam.<\/p>\n

Jamming — shared musical improv — asks us to work together with others to spontaneously create a piece of art that has never quite existed before. \u00a0It’s a lovely way to think about what sex should and could be. \u00a0And, importantly, it utterly changes what consent looks like and its role in sexual pleasure.<\/p>\n
