Post 9/11 a sensual libertarian movement  with a distinctively feminine voice, emanating from Brooklyn and the Lower East Side, driven by a cadre of women (female social entrepreneurs, erotic event planners and sensual performance artiste's, a "sensual libertarian network" of sorts) has ascended upon, transformed and otherwise become part of the essential fabric of Manhattan nightlife, society and culture.

Whether it is the art mimicking our culture or the art itself an outgrowth of the cultural and political climate is not so clear. Perhaps it’s a little of both. This "sensual movement" celebrating girl power and girl love embodies the choice rather than exploitation of women. It is also on some level leading our society towards a healthy erosion of double standards by creating a forum for women to celebrate their sexual freedom, pleasure and status as sexual beings.  It is not simply about nudity, sex or hedonistic indulgence, although there is plenty of that. As stated by, Palagia of Onelegupnyc in reference to her erotic themed events, "It would be nice [if the media] would hone in on how these events transform relationships or marriages."  "I'd rather read about how a couple grew from attending one of my parties versus where they had sex and with whom."  See Eros NY

The undercurrent is pragmatic, reality & choice based rather than a morality play with a clientele that is more Eyes Wide Shut than Bob, Carol, Ted & Alice, without the moral dilemmas which perplexed Tom and Nicole in Eyes Wide Shut.
