"I want a sex-positive feminism that recognizes and is here for women like me, and women different from me. For survivors of sexual violence. For asexual folks. For aromantic folks. For folks who find it difficult to love themselves and their bodies. For folks who are still healing from the trauma of sex. 

Let’s discard the language of sex that makes it feel like a football game to be won rather than a mutually consensual pleasurable experience. Let’s drop this script and this fixed pattern of sex that needs to progress from one “base” to another. Let’s be caring of our partners. Let’s value each other’s consent and respect each other’s bodily autonomy during sex and otherwise. Let’s not fetishize sex to be more valuable than other forms of interaction. Let’s open ourselves up to the idea that sex, like people, is fluid.

That, according to me, is what sex positivity is all about. The acknowledgement and acceptance of the many diverse ways diverse folks experience sexual pleasure, without the pressure to conform to or perform a particular way. That is sexual liberation after all."
