I know the drugs you do
the bands you like
shared a room like a thousand times
still doesn‘t feel that personal
why don‘t i know about your ’secret‘ desires
and guess you know even less about mine
I don‘t know why this is so hard to talk about
but everytime we don‘t e keep embracing the norm

the norm not to share and to assume
that we all act ‚normal‘ normal in the bedroom
that there is no need to talk about
hat we like and hat turns us on
if we even enjoy to have sex at all
what to be sexual even means for us
or if our assigned gender is even our thing
doesn‘t that sound important?

I often wish, sexuality and desire in all their different forms would be more of a topic in the punk scene. I feel the lack of talking about how we experiecnce sexuality both limits us in our possibilities to develop a fun sexual identity and subliminally always reinstitutes the normalcy of heterosexuality. That’s a pity, because I feel this is a big and important topic and also see the strong part that community (in a very wide sense community which for example can include yoiur friends, family, role modells, any kind of subculture, and also abstracter forms like an identity you take) plays in forming your own identity. When we exclude sexuality from our topics to speak about( I feel in my part it’s often shyness, and some awkwardness that comes with it, which is something I would really like to change) we also give shitty macho bands the edge of being able to pretend they‘re more open minded concerning this topics because they thematize sexuality in their shitty heteronormative, patriarchic way. This strongly needs to be changed.
The title is inspired is referring to the same named Pansy Division Album, which, also i don‘t identify as gay I find very inspiring in it’s open and explicit way to thematize sexuality.
