...So how do we express in ordinary ways, feelings about love, relationship,
desire and sex outside stereotypes? To do this people need to come from
a framework outside the traditional 'he/she said' rationale. The energy of
orgasm propelled us towards the idea of social transformation and
wholeness. By using the clitical and clitorocentric position and the concept
of the mutual orgasm we, and our work, have sought to shed the cloak of
tradition for a more truly metamorphic approach. This metamorphosis
means attending to the inner voice of passion and partaking in the
discourse of our society, using principled thought requiring dialogue within
ourselves and with others to fill the gaps and negotiate decisions for the
common good. We seek a needs-based, community-orientated forum,
where passion, lust, desire, love and trust could be honoured through our
theory of mutual orgasm.
When coming from a platform of negotiating alliance in a world of
diversity, backlash has always reared its head. (We acknowledge the ironic
nature of the pun.) 'Others' continue to be marginalised and trapped
within the dominant culture, their spirit reeled in and kept in check by the
gender gatekeepers. Disputes fuelled by conflict and abuse between women
and men continue gender warfare and its stereotypical, consumer-driven
imaging and thinking. Our exploration, coming from within the culture of
negativity, conflict and alienation, provided no real answers for promoting
wholeness. By taking the battle into a new arena of the clitorocentric we
found a voice and place more easily able to formalize a platform of respect
for the oppressed and marginalised.
The clitorocentric paradigm is, in substance and form, one vision of
the new times ahead. The orgasmic energy that drives the vision is within
us all. (Here we acknowledge the prophetic and pioneering work of Wilhelm
Reich.) There is potential for healthy relationships minus distress and
violence in a community that accepts and respects diversity, if we work at it
through negotiatory means. By replacing the phallocentric paradigm, which
is divisive, with the clitorocentric paradigm, which is inclusive of difference
and open to honest sexual communication, we can move toward a society
assured of peaceful existence. Membership in this kind of social community
will allow people to re-emerge whole, and liberated from the shackles of
patriarchal slavery. The mutual orgasm as a metaphor for alliance draws on
the assistant energy for settling matters through negotiation.
The essential qualities of the clitorocentric attitude involve accepting
and respecting all qualities of humanness in their own right. Respect,
voice, platform can replace the isolation and alienation of the old times.
New language, roles, and positions can offer all people the same privilege
of principle voice. The clitorocentric paradigm encompasses spirituality
that is both personal and connected to global welfare. Orgasmic energy as
the spiritual and divine mediator is the electricity that can change the current
thinking about fairness, love, negotiation and acceptance. We all carry the
spark of this orgasmic energy within us and it can be used to ignite the
passion for transformation rather than allowing the patriarchy to douse
desire for alliances in the traditional sense. Think of the clitorocentric as a
spiral dance, its energy moving from within to without, seeking alliance,
trust, and well being on its journey... back to top
