Frueh's performance piece, The Aesthetics of Orgasm, begins with a primal scene — Frueh, as a child, walks in on her parents having sex. Weaving thinking into sex, orgasm, and the erotic, Frueh positions herself within feminist scholarship, performing language that enables a kind of heterosexual eroticism that does not objectify.
