Abstract
Activism around sexuality and sexual politics has been increasing in the last two decades resulting in the production of both challenges and opportunities for the negotiation of sexual subjectivities, intimacy, and politics. However, some articulate a desire to untangle sexual politics from identity politics. My interlocutors define sexual politics as twofold: the strategic deployment of sexuality to affect social and political change, as well as activism with the goal of rethinking ideas and norms about sexuality. This chapter argues that the overwhelming urge to untangle sexual politics from identity politics is producing the desire for a new type of intimate politics characterized by mobility. This in turn is producing a type of migration that is tied to a quest for intimate privacy.
