Tempting as it is to blame individuals for grey sexual experiences, Kogl argues that we can't make sense of the power at work if we remain stuck in self-blame or point the finger at perpetrators. The personal is still political: the most intimate activities are both shaped by and shapers of unjust sexual hierarchies. Grey Sexwalksus through the shadowy places between good and bad sex.
