Sex-positive movement

The sex-positive movement is a social and philosophical movement that seeks to change cultural attitudes and norms around sexuality, promoting the recognition of sexuality (in the countless forms of expression) as a natural and healthy part of the human experience and emphasizing the importance of personal sovereignty, safer sex practices, and consensual sex (free from violence or coercion). It is based on the idea that "sexuality is an important part of the human experience and it deserves respect."^[1] Although the definition of the term greatly varies among those involved in the movement, its central notion is "openness to a variety of sexual orientations, interests (or lack thereof), identities and expressions."^[2] The sex-positive movement also advocates for comprehensive sex education and safe sex as part of its campaign.^[3] The movement generally makes no moral distinctions among types of sexual activities, regarding these choices as matters of personal preference.^[4]
