PRUDEmag Issue 3

💛 LAUNCH PARTY: Friday March 27 (Prude Prom!)
💛 ORDER ONLINE: Saturday March 28

----------

Buckle up. We've curated a treasure trove of challenging, moving, and galvanizing works that push the conversation on prudeness.

The complex prudeness of covid-conscious kink. The tenderness of lavender marriages. The quiet triumph in going "boysober". Abolishing "s*x therapy", navigating intimacy through dysphoria, dismantling the relationship escalator, crushing expansively. It's all in there.

We got to publish work by an 11 year old girl about children's resistance to s*x-necessarism, AND a piece by a self-described "crone" about ebbing s*xuality in older age. We learned about the prude-shaming archetype of the "Maria Clara" in the Philippines, and what it means to be a "prude in a purity culture" in urban centres of India.

We wish we could publish all 300 answers we got to the question "what does prude mean to you". The courage and genius of every person who submitted to this issue is astounding.

Shoutouts to .council, superstar editors and , god-tier graphic designer , and each of our spectacular contributors for bringing this issue into existence.

We hope this issue can be a friend on days when the burden of truth is heavy. Prudes of the world, make no mistake: we are many.

Prude pride, prude power.
