Joining in the jack-off party

A central reflection in sexual politics has always been about the position of “others” and the

question of who may speak about the “other.” When I try to index a piece like Seedbed—and

its symbolic positioning of other bodies within the Conceptual art movement—there seems to

be a plain disagreement in the rules of the sexual-bodily exchange. As a gay man it doesn’t

make any sense that you are not supposed to join in when you enter a jack-off party.
