Welcome to Freaksexual

Nice to meet you! My name is Pepper, and I am starting this blog as an outlet for my thoughts on various outcast sexual communities.

My background is primarily in self-taught queer theory. For the theoreticians among you, I focus on Foucauldian power dynamics, and I subscribe to a fairly strict deconstructionist model of culture. My writing is driven by queer and polyamory activism, and so this blog will take an anti-oppression approach to analysis. Posts here will be US-centric, referring to my experience in these identities at this particular cultural moment.

You can see my more formal writings at pepperminty.com, including various papers for conferences and a paper on cheating for the Journal of Bisexuality.

My blogging style tends towards longer and (hopefully) semantically tight entries, so each blog post should be an engaging subject on its own. If you like any of the posts here, I encourage you to look through the blog history for other tidbits. Thanks for reading!
