Call for Submissions: Sexual Congruency and the Wilds Within

"Censor the body and you censor breath and speech at the same time. Write yourself. Your body must be heard."
— Hélène Cixous, The Laugh of the Medusa

Sexual congruency is the internal alignment between a person's identity, desires, and outward expression. It demands a rare kind of internal coherence, authenticity, and truthfulness to oneself rather than conformity to external expectations.

For some, this harmony comes naturally; for others, it requires unlearning shame, navigating societal pressures, and yielding to an inner truth while managing the public personas we present to the world.

At its core, this call is an excavation of that high-stakes territory where the internal sense of sexuality meets external experience. We invite creators to explore these specific conceptual tensions:

• The Internal vs. External: The friction between a tightly constructed identity and the transgressive, unmapped realities of sudden attraction or hidden desire.
• The Mind vs. The Flesh: When the intellect dictates a specific narrative of empowerment, but the body insists on its own chaotic version of truth.
• The Synergy of Fragments: How a person pieces together a cohesive sexual self from disparate, seemingly contradictory life events or fragments of memory.

What ultimately interests us: work that maps the territory where desire and truth collide using a polished, authentic process that leaves the edges of the struggle transparent.

We look forward to reading your work.— Auguste Hill, Limit Experience Editor-in-Chief, and Team
