"It’s the cultural philosophy that understands sexuality

as a potentially positive force in one’s life,
and it can, of course, be contrasted with sex-negativity,
which sees sex as problematic, disruptive, dangerous.
Sex-positivity allows for and in fact celebrates sexual diversity,
differing desires and relationships structures,
and individual choices based on consent."

"Sex-positive is a simple yet radical affirmation

that we each grow our own passions on a different medium,
that instead of having two or three or even half a dozen sexual orientations,
we should be thinking in terms of millions.
'Sex-positive' respects each of our unique sexual profiles,
even as we acknowledge that some of us have been damaged
by a culture that tries to eradicate sexual difference and possibility.
Even so, we grow like weeds.”

writer, speaker, educator and activist with a doctorate in sexology
and a leader of the sex-positive feminist movement
