"Alongside the dismal toll of death, what many of us have lost is a culture of sexual possibility: back rooms, tea rooms, movie houses, and baths; the trucks, the piers, the ramble, the dunes. Sex was everywhere for us, and everything we wanted to venture: Golden showers and watersports, cocksucking and rimming, fucking and fist fucking. Now our untamed impulses are either proscribed once again or shielded from us by latex. Even Crisco. the lube we used because it was edible. is now forbidden because it breaks down rubber. Sex toys are no longer added enhancement; they're safer substitutes." -Douglas Crimp, "Mourning and Militancy"

"True, the moment that Crimp describes is a moment that is behind us. But its memory, its ghosts, and the ritualized performances of transmitting its vision of utopia across generational divides still fuels and propels our political and erotic lives: it still nourishes the possibility of our current, actually existing gay lifework."

-Jose Muñoz, Cruising Utopia, The Ghosts of Public Sex
