Jessa made a joke on twitter saying that she
wanted to write a book called “Heterosexuality is a Fucking
Nightmare.” She received an e-mail from another user intrigued by
the idea, Indiana Seresin, encouraging her to write the book. They
began corresponding on the topic, discussing things like desire,
love, sociology, consent, personal stories of heartbreak and sexual
regret. Their paths crossed in Berlin earlier this summer and Jessa
invited Indiana onto Public Intellectual to make some of their
private conversations public. Together, Jessa and Indiana discuss
their thoughts on why heterosexuality is a fucking nightmare and
talk about the expectations of gender conformity, love, and
marriage in today’s society.
