Fuck You! Sex, Body, Feminism

With ‘Fuck You!’, Missy Magazine, in cooperation with the publisher Edition Nautilus, has published a collection of sex columns in which 34 authors address topics that are otherwise preferred to be kept quiet in a lustful, political and brutally honest manner. 

The Missy Magazine team invites you to a series of live events, performative readings and talks related to the book. This time, moderated by Ulla Heinrich, they will celebrate queer desire, feminist discourse and solidarity-based audacity with guests Mithu Sanyal and Laura Merrit.

‘Fuck You!’ aims not only to entertain, but also to shed light on marginalised issues surrounding sex, impart knowledge and break down taboos: queer, lustful, provocative and unashamed. As a lesbian, is it okay if unimaginative straight porn turns me on? How impossible is anal sex with haemorrhoids? How do bondage and disability go together? How hot is sex for conception? And: How do you sext well? 

Come along when Missy transforms the stage into a walk-in safe space for desire, bodies and political passion.
