People often ask me what I mean when I say “sex-positive” and it’s not an easy thing to answer. So let me step back a bit…
Sex-negativity is the belief that sex is inherently bad, or dangerous, or sinful, or wrong. This is an old idea which you can trace back through the centuries. But if you think that it doesn’t still affect us today, remember that until a few decades ago, it was rare to find someone who would publicly state that it’s OK to have sex for any purpose other than reproduction.
