Sex positivity. What is that?

    I have heard the term a lot. Wasn't aware many people were anti-sex. Is this pro sex workers like strippers and prostitutes and things more career oriented? Lol.

    From wiki -
    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 covers every aspect of sexual identity including gender expression, orientation, relationship to the body (body-positivity, nudity, choice), relationship-style choice, and reproductive rights.

    It's pretty clear that certain cultures are comfortable with some forms of sex and frown upon, restrict and punish a whole bunch others.

    I see. I know Americans aren't the most liberal in the sex department, but generally I don't know of anyone going to jail for anything unless it does involve nonconsent.
