In this episode of the podcast, Wood wants to talk all about Pleasure. Namely, why Pleasure can be a huge source of personal power for feedists, and that it should be considered one of the core tenets of Feedism. They start off by explaining why they believe the definition of Feedism could be pithier, more all encompassing, or at least less long and drawn out. They propose that Feedism could be boiled down to the eroticization of Pleasure, Hedonism, and Nourishment and will use the next couple of episodes and interviews analyzing each one of those concepts.
Wood then goes on to talk about their own experience of defining what Pleasure means to them, as well as their journey in shifting their own practice of feedism from that of punishment to one based in Pleasure. Basically, Wood decides to infodump all of their Big Feelings about pleasure, activism, excess, capitalism, and introspection. With sources and footnotes included to back them up because they're a nerd about these things. CW: Depression, Disordered Eating, and general analysis of self destructive tendencies
