1. "Sex-positivity is the belief that sex and sexiness are… okay. It’s the belief that people shouldn’t be judged by the sex they have. It’s the belief that consent matters and social norms do not. It’s the belief that porn and erotica are valid media of expression (not that the current porn industry is hunky-dory, cause it’s not) and that sex work ought to be just work (not that it currently is). It’s the belief that neither “slut” nor “prude” should be an insult. It’s the belief that every sexual and gender identity is valid."

    The Pervocracy: Sex-Pozzie

    I would re-write this to read:

    “Sex-positivity is the belief that sex, sexiness and lack of sexiness are…okay. It’s the belief that people shouldn’t be judged by the sex they have or the sex they don’t have. It’s the belief that consent matters and social norms do not. It’s the belief that porn and erotica are valid media of expression (not that the current porn industry is hunky-dory, cause it’s not) and that sex work ought to be just work (not that it currently is). It’s the belief that neither “slut” nor “frigid” should be an insult. It’s the belief that every sexual and gender identity are valid, including the complete absence of identification in either realm.”

    I think this is more along the lines of sex-neutrality but, either way, it’s good stuff.
