With all the anti-pornography talk, can we have a sex positive thread? [View all]

Last edited Mon Nov 25, 2013, 04:36 AM - Edit history (1)

Over the past 100 years our society has really begun to open up about sex. From the increasing acceptance of sexual minorities to a reduction of stigma towards adult engaging in private sexual behavior of any type they choose, the sexual revolution is a beautiful thing and I support it in it's entirety.

Politicians who sneer at other's private sexual practices and demand the government stop them like Rick Santorum are a dying breed.

Media is finally able to commonly portray sexually themes and issues without fear from government censors. Some of these have been beautiful and meaningful, while others are admittedly very crass displays, but the important thing is that we're finally properly acknowledging something that has been so suppressed in our society for so long.

Sex, when consensual of course, speaks to universal truths about the human condition, such as our need for love and touch of fellow human beings. Even what some people would consider brutal sex, like BDSM, speak to a willingness to trust your partner even in extreme circumstances.

A lot of people bemoan the availability of pornography, but I don't see it as universally bad, especially the phenomenon of amateur pornography. I am outstandingly happy that there are couples out there pointing their cameras at something that brings them close to share it with anyone interested. I'm completely willing to talk about what kind of effects pornography can have on society, but I hope that most of us can agree that we caused far more problem by throwing people into jail for it than we ever solved. Openness and honestly toward our society's demand for sexually explicit material allows us to finally examine under the spotlight of societal scrutiny the issues that do exist.

Our society still has some horrible and glaring issues with sexuality, especially in the realm of unwanted sexual contact and the prosecution of that behavior. But you know what, while very far from ideal, I feel like our society is closer to "getting" sexuality more now than ever. There is increasingly an acceptance and understanding that private consensual behaviors shouldn't be punished and that unwanted sexual contact like rape is completely unacceptable. We have a long way to go, but things are probably better now than they have ever been.

So yeah, sex is awesome and I like that our society is finally starting to open up about the topic. People who used to suffer in silence like gays are finally learning that they were never really alone and that there are always people out there who are like you. No one is a "freak" for what they are into sexually, because the only real freaks are the kind who violate other people's rights like rapists and those who want to micromanage the activity of others bedrooms.

Prudish and control freak mentalities toward the sexual practices of others is one the big differences between conservatives and progressives. Personally, I am proud to be part of a movement that is willing to talk realistically about the state of sex in our society, including any problems that do exist.
