But far more than unabashed nudity, rowdy threesomes, and regular STI testing, sex positivity isa way of being这用自由取代了羞耻和愉悦和审判。

请继续阅读以了解更多信息。

Most broadly, sex positivity says that sex can be a positive thing in a person’s life.

More than just that, though, says Texas-based sex educatorGoody Howard, sex positivity is the idea that people should have space to embody, explore, and learn about their性欲and性别没有判断或羞耻。

“只要有同意,它涉及对性和性别表达的多样性的无判断和尊重。”Aida Manduley, LCSW, adding that sex positivity promotes a specific set of actions.

Above all else, sex positivity valuesconsent,沟通,教育,使人们能够对自己的身体做出明智的选择和乐趣。

You betcha.

In fact, it’s a safe bet that unless you’re积极working to become sex-positive, you’re sex-negative.

不过,不要亲自接受。确切地说,不是您,而是社会。

霍华德解释说:“性消极情绪是我们整个社会运作的方式根深蒂固的。”

“Sex negativity is telling girls to put on more clothes even on the hottest day before they leave the house,” Howard says. “It’s admonishing parents for breastfeeding in public even though that’s what breasts were made for.”

其他例子的年代ex negativity include:

  • 对性工作者,跨性别女性和女性的暴力行为
  • 只教授关于生殖性别的只有禁欲的性教育和性教育
  • purity pacts
  • Instagram shadow-banning sex educators
  • slut-shaming and victim-blaming
  • the “good girl” versus “bad girl” trope

曼迪利说:“性消极情绪从恐惧,压迫和污名的地方接近性和性行为。”

Sex negativity assumes that human sexuality is inherently:

  • 肮脏的
  • dangerous
  • disgusting
  • 不自然
  • 无法控制
  • harmful
  • risky

心理分析家威廉·赖希(Wilhelm Reich实际上一件好事。

您可能会猜到,这个想法并没有得到太多的蒸汽。但是在1960年代的性革命期间,它获得了第二人生。

Recently, circulation of the term has ramped up again as the current Trump administration has increasingly attacked the rights of sex workers and queer and trans people — and especially the rights of Black, Indigenous, and other people of color.

Sex positivity’s Whole Thing™ is removing shame and judgment from sex, sexuality, and sensuality.

“Being controlled by shame and judgment is a miserable experience — it inhibits your pleasure, worsens your mental health, and interferes your life,” saysErica Smith, M.Ed, a sex educator based in Philadelphia and creator of纯度文化辍学程序, which works with people who were raised with evangelical beliefs about sexuality.

Because sex and sexuality are such vast concepts that intertwine with all areas of our lives, Manduley says, “Becoming sex-positive can be a tremendous source of health, celebration, nurturance, healing, and well-being.”

In other words, the point is that it can drastically improve your entire life.

Nope. “You don’t have to have sex to be sex-positive,” Smith says.

“But youdo只要涉及同意,就必须真正相信其他人可以与他们想要的任何人进行性爱。”她解释说。

完全透明,成为性阳性的需要:

  • 耐心
  • time
  • commitment
  • bravery

It’s hard work! But it’s work worth doing.

“It requires an ongoing dedication to becoming increasingly inclusive and aware,” Manduley says. “It requires a commitment to practicing anti-oppressive philosophies and practices.”

根据霍华德的说法,第一步是注意到您所有人都不是性阳性的,这可能是因为您在性阴性文化中长大。

例如,霍华德说:“假设您在看到某人的上衣时会认为'荡妇'。”“问问自己:为什么我这样做出反应?我为什么觉得那样?”

她说,同样,如果您发现自己在评判某人多态, ask yourself: Why does that make me uncomfortable? What steps do I need to take to stop feeling that way?

然后,采取这些步骤。

“什么是强大的@sexpositive_familiesis that it gives you the tools to check your sex-negative behavior so that you don’t pass those messages to your kids,” Howard says.
