Moan | #5

Sex through an activists’ lens because sex is political. Do you even watch Law & Order SVU? 

The amount of sexual pleasure that is indeed a problem (talking lack of consent and experiences that harm others) is such a small sliver yet sexuality remains so entirely taboo. For instance, my parents never had “The Talk” with me and my mother to this day, despite being nearly 60, shudders if I bring up anything sexual. 

Moan is five issues deep and focused on the experiences of women & non-binary folks. From fetishes to fantasies to pertinent issues and personal experiences, each zine is an act of rebellion to those who’ve been censored and neglected in the world of erotic media. With the utmost respect for their contributors, the editorial team has been able to establish well-deserved trust in this space.

But don’t fret! As a risograph zine, it’ll still scratch that design itch. It brings together raw, DIY aesthetics and a sleek, sexy polish that behooves a sense of sophistication by way of experience. I mean, they have popped their cherry some time ago.  

Discreet enough to read on the train, see if you’re up for it. Afterall, what’s more liberating than reading about fetishes on your commute home?
