S2, Episode 1: Flirting and Seduction
Description
Janis and Rachel introduce the Circle of Sexuality that covers Sexualization & Power. Janis bemoans the fact that talking about sexual violence is such a norm that it's just another day ending in Y, and the two reflect on their flirting game, and what comes to mind when they hear the word "seduction."
The identified elements of the sexualization & power circle are:
- flirting & seduction
- media messages/images,
- withholding sex,
- sexual harassment,
- incest and rape.

"The quality of Game is much more about being honest and being yourself than being smooth. It's not about small talk, filling the space, or easing the awkwardness. It's letting true desire and curiosity come to the forefront of an interaction." - Adrienne Maree Brown, Pleasure Activism
Quote:
"Seducers are people who understand the tremendous power..."
