ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sex-positive

Hi kiddo,

Do you want to know what "sex-positive" means? Let me explain it to you!

Being "sex-positive" means supporting and celebrating all kinds of consensual sexual expressions and behaviors, without any form of judgment. It means having a positive attitude towards sexuality and accepting that people enjoy and experience it differently.

For example, some people like to have sex with other people of the same gender or different genders, while others prefer to have sex by themselves. Some people like to have kinky sex, and others prefer vanilla sex. Some people choose to wait until marriage to have sex, while others prefer to have sex with multiple partners. And all of these choices are valid and accepted in a sex-positive community.

The most important thing about being sex-positive is that everyone involved practices safe, healthy, and consensual sex. This means that both parties involved in any sexual encounter have to say "yes" and agree to the same sexual activity.

It's important to be sex-positive so that people can feel comfortable and free to express their sexuality without fear of being judged or shamed. It also helps eliminate harmful stereotypes and myths about sex and promotes healthy and happy sexual relationships.

Remember, being sex-positive means having a respectful and non-judgmental attitude towards everyone's sexual preferences and identities.
