Sex Positive vs Sex Negative
I was asked what i meant by the term "sex positivity" which is weird because it's not like i made up the term. He also asked if there were any restrictions or boundaries that were not considered sex negative?
Sex positivity means that human consensual sexuality is not shameful and is a thing to be celebrated and explored. So the boundary/restriction exists that consent is required. Sharing ex gf pics or rape and sexual assault are therefore not sex positive.
Sex negativity sees sexual acts outside of certain imposed restrictions, even if consensual, can and will lead to things like rape culture or societal breakdown. The logic then follows that their standards will prevent what they perceive as a big problem leading to a larger widespread problem down the road. Hense imposing their standard on all will prevent this hypothetical dystopia.
The idea is that the wrong sexuality itself is a problem that needs solving, whereas sex positivity celebrates an individual's right to sexual exploration while promoting safety and consent.
One position is not objectively right or wrong as both care about safe sexuality, they are just 2 schools of thought with 2 different ideas of what that means that directly conflict with each other.
I don't mean anything by the term "sex positivity" because the definition of the term is not mine, it's just what it means. Google
