What is sex positivity?
As much as some cultures seems to be embracing sex positivity, there are still some misconceptions out there about what this phrase really means. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re a sex-positive person or if your friends are too—or maybe even if you’re curious what this whole thing means anyway—then read on! I’ll break down exactly what being sex positive really means and show you that while it’s not always easy (especially when talking with partners), it’s worth pursuing more than ever before.
The concept of sex positivity is the belief that sexuality is a positive thing and that it’s good to express your sexuality in a healthy way
Sex positivity is the belief that sexuality is a positive thing and that it’s good to express your sexuality in a healthy way. It means being able to talk about sex without shame, fear or guilt. Sex positivity isn’t just about having sex; it’s also about feeling comfortable with yourself and your body, even if you don’t have any plans for getting physical with anyone else right now (or ever).
Sex-positive people aren’t afraid of their own desires or other people’s desires–and they don’t think there should be any shame attached to those desires either! A sex-positive person knows how important it is not just for them but also for everyone around them who wants their own needs met as well because there are many kinds of relationships worth pursuing: romantic ones where two people connect emotionally; friendships where one person makes another feel valued; platonic relationships that provide support while still being separate entities themselves…and yes even casual hookups which may not last long enough but can be great fun while they last! In short: all types of connections matter equally so long as everyone involved feels good afterwards.”
Sex positivity isn’t about believing there’s only one way to have sex or be sexual
Sex positivity is not about saying that everyone should be having sex, or that there’s only one way to have sex. It’s also not about saying that everyone should have the same amount of sex, or with the same person.
Sex positivity is about respecting people’s decisions around their bodies and sexuality–whether they choose to engage in partnered sexual activity at all, how often they do it, where they do it (or don’t), why they do it (or don’t), and so on.
The phrase “sex positive” has been around since the 80s, but it wasn’t until the early 2000s that it became a movement
The phrase “sex positive” has been around since the 80s, but it wasn’t until the early 2000s that it became a movement. The term was coined by Carol Queen and Lorrie Moore, who were both working at Good Vibrations at the time.
Queen says she first used “sex positive” to describe herself while talking with friends: “I was calling myself ‘the world’s most sex-positive person’ and they said ‘you should write a book about that’. I thought it would be a funny title for an autobiography.”
You don’t have to be an expert on sexual education to be a sex-positive person
A common misconception is that you need to be an expert on sexual education in order to be a sex-positive person. While it’s true that many people who identify as sex positive have an extensive knowledge of the subject, being an expert isn’t necessary for this identity.
It’s also important to note that even if you don’t know much about sex or haven’t experienced very much of it yet, you can still be a sex-positive person! There are many ways in which someone can learn about sexuality without having any personal experience with it–such as by reading books or watching educational videos online–and these forms of learning are just as valid as personal experience when forming your own opinions on what makes up healthy relationships between people of all genders identities and orientations (GIO).
People often think that being sex positive means you want everyone to have lots of sex all the time, and that’s not true at all! Sex can be fun and exciting even if you’re not going for orgasm every time
Sex positivity is about being okay with your own desires, and it’s also about being okay with other people’s desires. It’s not just about having sex all the time or being ready for it all the time–it’s about feeling comfortable with yourself and others in whatever situation you find yourself in.
Sex positivity has nothing to do with whether you’re having sex or not; it’s more about how you feel about what you’re doing, whether that be making out on a first date or getting down in bed with someone who doesn’t turn you on at all (if that’s what makes them happy). Sex positivity isn’t about living up to some kind of idealized standard of behavior; rather, it encourages us all to embrace our individual natures without judgment or shame.
Sex positivity doesn’t mean you’re always ready for sex; it means you’re okay with others wanting sex, even when it doesn’t suit your needs or wants at any given moment. It allows you to say no without feeling guilty, too
Sex positivity, as the name suggests, is all about accepting and respecting people’s sexual choices. It’s about understanding that not everyone wants to have sex with you or anyone at all. It means saying no without feeling guilty or ashamed of your decision–and understanding why someone else might say yes instead of making them feel bad for their choice.
It doesn’t mean that everyone should be having sex all the time; it just means there isn’t anything
So, what does it mean to be sex positive? It doesn’t mean that you have to be ready for sex at any moment. It doesn’t mean you have to do everything right or even know how everything works! All it takes is a little bit of curiosity and willingness to try something new–and maybe some advice from someone who’s been there before.
