artwork by DASH SNOW
a new sexual revolution is underway, likely more radical than that of the ’60s, with youth again leading the charge: fluid, nonbinary, beyond gender and conventional sexual preferences — whatever goes.it’s not about transgression but about openness, intimacy, freedom to experience and feel, and, more importantly, independence and equality. this blossoming new normal is captured here, through real couples living in paris, london, and new york. but it could have been anywhere, at least in the free world.
