Singlehood and the sexuality of a woman who seemingly knows it all and yet, is confused

Why is it always so hard to find a place for intimacy and why do we have to lie and cheat our way into getting it? Everything related to non-committal sex was always so taboo, shrouded in secrecy, and eliciting raised eyebrows, that it turned me off.

Themes

In Plainspeak publishes one issue every month, with a single theme running across two months. Our aim is to expand safe, inclusive self-affirming spaces.

CURRENT ISSUE:

April 2024: The Pandemic and Sexuality

Sometimes it feels like it was aeons ago and sometimes it feels much closer. The COVID pandemic began in 2019. And then came March 2020 – India’s first nationwide lockdown to contain its spread. So much happened then, and since then. And yet, or despite it all, a burgeoning of newer ways of communicating, connecting, crowd-sourcing, networking, reaching out, and touching lives. Of reaffirming the significance of emotional connection and the resilience of the human spirit. This month’s offering of articles, poems and fiction is an eclectic mix that (mostly) reflects what was borne out of the pandemic, and its impact on sexuality, intimacy, relationships, and more.

UPCOMING ISSUES:

May 2024: The Pandemic and Sexuality

June 2024: Queering as a Way of Life
