SexPositiveBlog is a collection of sexual assault awareness and prevention news, a place to explore and learn about kink and fetish, and a safe place that accepts LGBT sexualities and non-normative gender expressions. You’ll find interesting sex-related quotes and studies pulled from all over, often with commentary. There are also fabulous, often Chicago-based, resources on safer sex practices, LGBTQ sexualities, and sexual violence. The author, Lyzanne, also volunteers at the Center on Halsted, works as an advice columnist for LGBT youth at AskGayWrites and is a new member of SHEER. Here is a kick-ass quote we found recently on SexPositiveBlog…
“Sexuality is typically viewed in our society as the province of young, white, able-bodied, cisgender, thin, “beautiful” people, and if you do not fit this description, your sexuality is either ridiculed or fetishized. I think sexuality educators have a responsibility to explode that myth and represent and support people of every age, race, ability, size, etc. to own their authentic sexuality. I also think that even within sexual communities that are viewed as positive or progressive, there is policing of what the “right” way to be sexual is – are you kinky enough, are you queer enough, is your gender expression or the gender of your partner acceptable, etc. I really strive to create an affirming place for everyone to the best of my ability.” Laura Anne Stuart, in the Hump Day Hero from the Center on Sexuality, Pleasure and Health.
