Ages ago, when I was experimenting with makeup and a fantasy 1800s character called Dmitry Donne, I made this as the before version of “Why this OC had to get bailed out of jail after his visit to a mollyhouse.”

My acting has improved since then.

Do you know what words would be used to describe a same sex relationship in the 18th century? I have heard that one of the words that would of be used is sodomite

Depends on context, and also depends on formality (slang words vs legal terms etc.) 'Sodomite' was usually used in a formal context, like for e.g. if someone (usually a man who had sex with another man) was being tried for the crime of sodomy in a legal context. 'Catamite' was also used in this context, usually referring to the man receiving in a sexual context. 'Molly'/'Mollyboy' was usually used to describe a gay male sex worker (and a lot of gay men in 18th century England specifically were sex workers). 'Mollies' were usually effeminate and many cross-dressed so sometimes the term is mistakenly applied to trans women sex workers who didn't have much choice, given the beliefs of the time, but to work in mollyhouses. Someone like Princess Serefina is often called a 'molly' but she was most assuredly a trans woman sex worker. 'Backgammon player' and 'madge cull/madge' were other slang terms for gay men.

For lesbian/bisexual women, it's a little more fluid because there was a general belief that a woman couldn't have sex with a woman, therefore lesbians/bisexual women didn't exist. A woman having sex with a woman wasn't an illegal act either, so it wasn't as talked about as gay sex. 'Sapphic/Sapphist' gained traction in the late 18th century when there was a bit 'lesbian panic' after rumours about Marie Antoinette's sexuality started to spread. I have seen 'lesbian' used in defamatory poetry about women who were known to have same sex relationships, but very sparsely. 'Tribade' was occasionally used, it comes from the word for the actual act of two women rubbing their clitoris against each other. 'The Game of Flats' was similar in that it was a veiled term for the actual act of lesbian sex. 'Tommy' was usually used to describe what we might call a butch lesbian today (although obviously it also mistakenly got applied to trans men). Sometimes, when there are cases of women being found to have married another woman, who usually disguised herself as a man for the deception, the cross-dressing spouse was referred to as a 'female husband' (again, another term that was also occasionally mistakenly applied to trans men who had married women)

The bitch panties are a reflection on gender performance, the demonization of a dog breed and the etymology of the word bitch.

Bitch panties, ink print on latex, dimensions variable, 2020.

The panties were exhibited at EXILE for the annual ‚curated by‘ gallery festival in Vienna as part of the show ‚untitled (mollyhouse)‘ curated by Julius Pristauz.

I had the honour of having one of my poems included in the new issue of Mollyhouse. It’s an online magazine of poetry and prose and I’m so happy to have had my poem included. Here’s a bit about Mollyhouse Issue 3: This third issue of Mollyhouse features poetry and prose by writers who are not from this group: white hearing able-bodied heterosexual cisgender men. The issue is edited by Raymond…

I’m actually REALLY excited to see a mollyhouse on Harlots. My specialist subject has always been female-run, female-populated brothels of Georgian London but I have read a bit about Georgian mollyhouses too and they really showcase what kind of culture and lifestyle there was amongst gay men in 18th century London. A lot of mollyboys were gender non-conforming too (probably a fashion choice and an element of gay culture in 18th century England, but also to single themselves out to potential customers) and it looks like we are going to see that in S3 of Harlots also!!!

The lifestyles of gay men in Georgian England were so vibrant and enduring, even in the face of capital punishment for sodomy, and there is no better way to view this than by looking at the sex industry in Georgian London. That is where 18th century gay culture really thrived and became something very specific and pronounced and individual!!!

also a ship's crew taking leave and one of the young sailors who's constantly getting shouted at and snapped at by the boatswain who walks into a mollyhouse to meet a friend and sees that very boatswain bouncing a young man in his lap, actually smiling for once

and immediately wants to try to rub it in or blackmail him or SOMETHING, but as soon as he looks over and the boatswain meets his gaze and just... arches an eyebrow at him and looks at him with challenge

he fucking FLEES

wanking himself off in his bunk the next time the boatswain roars at him because his knot was slightly loose or because his uniform was slightly off, thinking about that same challenging expression before he gets the life fucked out of him

The thing about the picture of Dorian gray is that it’s so incredibly homosexual but also if you start doing a closer queer reading of the text it like. It belies this very deep self hatred, almost. Like if you read lord Henry’s influence on Dorian as equivalent to a sort of coming out narrative (where lord Henry is introducing Dorian to queer desire, a reading surprisingly well-supported by the text) it’s like. Ok. First we have lord Henry introducing Dorian to desires he’s never thought to experience before. These desires remain unstated and undefined. And then. Dorian’s first “sin,” his first act that makes his portrait ugly, is literally rejecting a woman. And then we get scenes where Dorian is sneaking out to opium dens to meet with men and blackmailing a scientist to hide a body because he knows this terrible secret about the scientist that will absolutely ruin him. So like. To ME, this reads as like. Dorian is introduced to the idea of queer desire. I think that lord Henry flirted with him in the garden and then planted the thought that like. Men can desire other men. And then after Dorian rejects his girlfriend (and also heteronormative desire) and nothing terrible happens, I think he starts fully exploring his own queer desires. He sleeps with the scientist guy for a period of time. He hangs out in mollyhouses and such. And the reason why I say that a queer reading belies a very deep and abiding self hatred within the picture of Dorian gray is because in this reading, Dorian’s mounting ugliness is immistakably an allegory for queerness. And like. That end scene? When Dorian stabs his portrait and dies with it? Dorian is REMORSEFUL. he stabs the portrait because he is bound and determined to eschew his sinful ways and make himself beautiful again. And so. Dorian tries to kill the queer desire inside him but he cannot. It’s part of him, just as much as anything else is. In attempting to kill his desire, Dorian kills himself. So like I said. Deep self hatred.
