In this talk I develop two concepts, 'mutual regard' and 'sexual fluency,' which I take to be promising for thinking through what constitutes good sex and its conditions of possibility. Developing these concepts and exploring how they interrelate brings into focus the consequential (yet oft-overlooked) interplay between imagination, affect, institutions, and wider social imaginaries. I show how this interplay can constrain and enable different groups of sexual actors in highly uneven and problematic ways, and how it troubles existing proposals for scaffolding good sex.
