This special issue provides a platform for critical analysis and debates that shed light on the complex and often contradictory ways through which sexualities and capital are related to, shaped by, and constitutive of each other. It aims to provide insight into sexual politics as funda-mental technologies of power within capitalism, and how sexual oppression under capitalism fo-ments critiques of domination and communities of resistance. In this introduction, we sketch out these emerging debates as we contextualise key contemporary discussions concerning the inter-section between sexualities and capital across different fi elds. We insist on the relevance and ur-gency of these discussions, including topics such as communities and/of resistance as well as one crucial question that this issue’s forum discussion tries to address collectively, namely, “why do we put up with it all?”
