Hoping for the best—while still considering the worst

Presenting the newest in our long-running Future of Sex Expert Series; for this installment, we invited a world-renowned author and a highly respected activist to give their opinions on the question: “What might the queer community look like in 2035?”

Felice Picano—Whose Classic Memoir, Ambidextrous, Is Back In Print

What I see is Millennials and other young people who will be older people in 2035 interacting about 90% of their time with the phone screens. They don’t see other people, except as annoyances to their screen images. 

They don’t see their surroundings as anything even as real as landscape, merely a bunch of steps to walk through while on their screens. I’m not sure how they even perceive other people close up—if at all. 

Therefore there won’t be dating, won’t be romance, won’t be sex, won’t be marriage, won’t be families with children—they all interfere with screen time.

That being so, my prediction is that Sex in 2035 will be pretty much as it has always been with those above a certain age. And with those below that line it will be entirely electronic—screen to screen.

That being the case, the recently predicted population peak will be reached around 2090 and little by little human beings will disappear from the earth.

JD Terrapin—Mentor, Peer, Parent, And Hope Sharer

I look at my body, a shell, an encasement of soul. The year 2035 and my age is half a century. The war on gender and expression has peaked and made advancements such as the first trans woman having a live birth just a few years before seem like wistful dreams. 

The men were enraged when a person assumed female at birth won the Olympics as a gentleman wrestler. Where in all these miracles did we forget to advance the social realms? 

A man is a man but only if he can prove it? A woman is a woman only if she gives up her autonomy by virtue of birthing anatomy?  

It’s 2035 and there is still no room for them like me.

M. Christian

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.”

Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
