The Argonauts

An intrepid voyage out to the frontiers of the latest thinking about love, language, and family Maggie Nelson’s The Argonauts is a genre-bending memoir, a work of ‘autotheory’ offering fresh, fierce and timely thinking about desire, identity and the limitations and possibilities of love and language. At its center is a romance: the story of the author’s relationship with the artist Harry Dodge. This story, which includes the author’s account of falling in love with Dodge, who is fluidly gendered, as well as her journey to and through a pregnancy, is an intimate portrayal of the complexities and joys of (queer) family making.

Answer: This may be a tough thing to swallow, sweet reader… but I’m going to give you a lot to gobble up. It appears, according to my diagnosis and the copious amount of intriguing and—at times, a little perturbing—perusing I spent on various Internet deep-dives, that you are a vorer: an individual aroused by the idea of being swallowed whole. Like all fetishes, vore is multidimensional, complex ... Welcome to Enquire Within, our fortnightly newsletter exploring your sexual curiosities and confusions.
