Body Modifications and Sexuality
"All sensual experience functions to free us from 'normal' social
restraints, to awaken our deadened bodies to life. All such activity points
toward a goal: the creation of the 'complete' or 'integrated' man and
woman, and in this we are yet prisoners digging an imaginary tunnel to
freedom. Our most inestimable resource, the unfettered imagination, continues
to be grounded in the only truly precious possession we can ever have
and know, and which is ours to do with what we will: the human body."
From Modern Primitives
An eye-opening, startling investigation of the undercover world of body modifications, tattooing, piercing and scarification.
