This was a good quick read and it goes to show that what others do is none of your damn business.

Yet another example of religious institutions trying to control and abuse anything that they don't like

Love it! It is not easy to talk about queer sexualities when you confront heterosexual love and heterosexist oppression at the same time.

My obligatory disclaimer on an issue #1 review: I tend not to like issue #1 of anything. My personal rule of thumb is that I usually expect to enjoy a series about a star more than a rate its first issue. I find issue #1 of anything usually has too much setup and not enough plot for my personal reading taste.
On this one… I still feel a little in the dark. I don't like the world; that's OK, we're not supposed to like it. But we have to understand it to have the context for whatever will follow. I suspect that my enjoyment of this title will depend on the balance that is struck: how much will we see that evil, authoritarian world and how much will we see those who are fighting against that world and/or living their own lives in spite of that world.
My personal comic-buying is in a bit of a flux at the moment, but I think I'll keep my eye out for the collection.

What we do get with SFSX is the story of Avory, a woman who, in a past life, was a sex worker, proud of her life of freedom and sexual expression, turned into a buttoned-up housewife thanks to the complete and utter dominance of a group called simply ”The Party" who govern and restrict sexual impulses through government agencies and laws. This stripping of freedom has led some of Avory's former friends from a place called The Dirty Mind to step in and use the skills they’ve achieved through their past experiences in sex work to put an end to the antics of The Party once and for all.
This series may not be for some, and that's okay. The strong sexual themes and queer content won't connect with everyone. But thankfully, this series is lovingly crafted for a marginalized community, one that doesn’t get to see themselves in this medium too often. It’s a very interesting concept that has, so far, been introduced well, and I look forward to seeing more.

Like Handmaid's Tale without the infertility and all the focus on purity... I thought I'd find it too similar and unreadable, but I has a good start.
