Welcome to ZoraMagazine. Join us, in our debut issue, in sharing perspectives on sex and its dance through society. Why sex, might you ask? Why, in a world that seems sexually and sensually saturated—should we immerse ourselves, seemingly becoming the ever increasing solute in a mixture that never seems to quite reach its threshold? Trapping more and more of us—forever—in this funky, cloudy, ‘mess’ that we just can’t seem to get out of. Well, we’re not inviting you to take a dive. Not at all. Instead, we’re all taking turns sticking our fingers into the beaker. Jiggling it around a bit. After which, we will then be pleased to announce our, er, ‘scientific’ (well, for some the term is actually deserved) analysis of the situation:

“Yes, it’s definitely sticky”…“Feels fine to me”…“I can’t move my finger”…

You get the idea. We’re on the outside looking in. Join us.

And for a publication dedicated to the sharing and celebration of human culture, what topic is more deserving, with regard to its natural pervasiveness? Few can deny his/her existence as a result of such—sex, that is. It permeates our lives, just prior to conception and then still beyond our deaths. It is the force of life. And a force within our lives.

In this issue, authors explore the topic within the realms of gender, emotion, race, politics, and more. They represent a delightful cross-section of ‘us’ as their works span across ethnic, national, gender, racial, and academic perspectives. ZoraMagazine thanks everyone whose contribution(s) made this first issue a reality.

This is the first of many issues to come. Please be sure to let us know what your thoughts are. Your feedback is greatly sought after and appreciated.

Enjoy.
