December 2025 Issue Out Now ✨ Expanding the Language of Love, Sex & Romantic Living


The December 2025 issue of Psyche, Sex, & Society is officially here. This is an invitation to return home to love in its most expansive, liberatory form.

In our eleventh issue, we disrupt inherited scripts of love and desire by expanding the language of love, decolonizing sex and intimacy, and reimagining romance as an embodied, erotic way of living.

Inside this issue, you’ll explore:

  • What it truly means to romanticize life—transforming the everyday into the erotic and living love as a sacred, embodied practice.
  • How decolonizing the five sex languages expands intimacy beyond Western worldviews, acknowledging the sociocultural and political realities through which BIPOC people live, love, and cultivate intimacy beyond oppression.
  • Why reclaiming love beyond empire is an act of healing, liberation, and fulfillment.
  • How pleasure, devotion, and intentional presence become radical acts in a world that profits from disconnection and the illusion of separation.

This issue is both a reflection and a revelation. Whether you read solo, with a partner, or in community, you are encouraged to move through these pages slowly—allowing your vision and vocabulary for intimacy, pleasure, and connection to expand.

The APRIL 2026 issue of Psyche, Sex, & Society has officially arrived, and this one goes straight for the places culture tells us to avoid. We are pulling apart the relationship scripts so many of us inherited without ever consenting to them. We are asking the questions that cut to the bone of relational agency. We are naming the truths that get flattened into caricature. This issue is inviting you back to the center of your own desire, your own authorship, your own relational design. Inside...
