Corie Hammers: An examination of Lesbian/Queer Bathhouses Culture and the Social Organization of (IM)Personal Sex -A study that examines different behavioural patterns of two lesbian/queer bathhouses in Canada (Pussy Palace and SheDogs) in comparison to the gay bathhouses
When it comes to sexual encounters, it has been imperative for women to give speech a prominent place. (26)

-These types of bathhouses welcome those whose gender falls outside the bounds of woman (queer, transgendered or transexual) (6)
It serves as a counter to patriarchal societys constant denigration of womens sexuality, as being contra to sexual violence toward women and those with nonnormative sexualities, and as a resistance to the feminist sexual policing of the past where carnality, sexuality and desire were deemed to be objectionable and predatory behaviours.

Public Sex as a Form of Liberation: - Sexual desire for selfexploration - Control of the body and space - Secret Positive/Negative Sexual Freedom

SEXUAL LIBERATION (Danny Frederick)

Sexual Liberation = Positive Sexual Freedom + Negative Sexual Freedom
Positive sexual freedom, or sexual autonomy, belongs to the person who is honest about his/her sexual desires and interests, who has an open mind and is willing to experiment, who recognises that forms of sexuality are person-relative and is thus tolerant and respectful of other peoples tastes and pursuits. Negative sexual freedom belongs to the person who is permitted to engage in the sexual activities of his/her choice with willing partners, no matter what those activities may be, without hindrance or interference from government or others in society.

The Zuralvin Continuum

The object of this continuum is to be able to measure sexual desire towards the homosexual and/or heterosexual, in a positive or negative direction. Our belief is that noone can be 100% heterosexual, 100% homosexual, bisexual or asexual because that would mean the person feels sexual desire 100% of the time or no sexual desire 100% of the time. The continuum graph is based on the Cartesian Coordinate System
X axis: Homosexual Y axis: Heterosexual

Conclusion
- The deviance of Public Sex is a driving factor of ones liberation of sex
- By proliferating our sexual desire for illicit covert sexual expression, our sexual liberation transcends in other aspects of our daily lives, liberating us from oppression.

- The opportunity cost of this nature is the risk of exploitation, suppressing sexual expression by imposing patriarchal roles of gender and sex. - Public sex should not be normalized but rather deviated. Performing an act outside its boundaries = opportunity to feel sense of liberation and self-gratification
