Sex Postivity

These 2 websites http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex-positive_feminism and http://www.thefrisky.com/2012-05-09/8-ways-to-be-positive-youre-sex-positive/  were very interesting to read and look at for me. I never heard of the term sex-positive feminism used before so I was unsure of what it stood for. From my understanding sex-positive feminism is having sexual freedom, meaning your free to have sex or not and control what you do in terms of sex.  As stated by Wikipedia, “sex-positive feminists oppose legal or social efforts to control sexual activities between consenting adults, whether these efforts are initiated by the government, other feminists, opponents of feminism, or any other institution”.   Sex-positive feminism is against pornography, sex work and BDSM. I really wish that pornography wasn’t so easy to get access to because little kids using the computer might click on something not knowing what it is and a porn site might pop up. Do we really want children to be watching this stuff at a young age?

I thought that Rachel Rabbit White's: 8 Ways To Be Positive You're Sex Positive was a good example for people to ready because some people feel as though sex is a bad thing but Rachel makes sure she states in the beginning, that “Having sex is healthy, but so is not having sex”. It’s all your preference on how comfortable you feel and whether the person is asexual or gray-sexual.  In my opinion she provides 8 well-reasoned points that make you think about sex in different ways that you might not have previously thought about. I know I can say that I definitely was cautious when it came to having sex but luckily the guy I was dating for a long time didn’t push me into anything  instead he waited till I finally felt comfortable and our relationship grew stronger after that.
