What Does It Mean to be "Sex Positive?"

To me, “Sex Positive” simply put means, freedom of sexual expression, communication & exploration without fear of judgement or shame.

It welcomes (but is not limited to) all genders, identities, kinks & sexual history.

Furthermore, it is expression of concepts such as desire, passion & self love circled around the healing powers of natural human sexuality (expression). It is not limited to penetration & physical sex. It is much bigger than that. It is self-awareness.

Sex Positivity is a movement like Body Positivity that can open portals to self-love. Liberating the suppression of the Divine Feminine that has been coated in damaging thoughts of not being ‘good enough’, shit like slut shaming & denial of pleasure. With Sex Positivity we can break down walls, promote safety & comfort in ones own skin by getting to know who we are, what we like & owning all of it.

Sex Positivity can be fun & it can be hard work. It’s shadow work, working through past adversity or trauma. It’s mind opening & barrier breaking. It can be polarizing & bonding. It can be scary & liberating.

Lastly, #sexposi means not letting fear or shame deter us from being our true Self. Taking back words like slut, whore, stripper, herpes, anything that’s been given a negative shadow, humanizing it & shining a bright ass light on it. Your story is more common than you think.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been called a slut… Raise your hand if you’ve ever had an STI… I’m raising both of my hands. Hi! lol

Sex is natural, healthy, fun, playful & can be a safe space to feel into passionate healing. However, it is not without consequence & responsibility. We all take a risk as sexual human beings. We share a piece of ourselves with everyone we lay with. Reminder to honor yourself & each other’s boundaries while exploring.

Currently, this journey has been about education & empowerment. Knowing the difference between the Vagina & the Vulva, versed on STI Culture, topics like Period Poverty, Disclosing practices. The more I know, the more I realize I don’t know. My learning is never done!

Remember - on the other side of fear is freedom. You will attracted the energy you put out. Be the changeeee.
