Hey y’all, just a reminder: it’s sex favorable, sex neutral, and sex repulsed.
Sex positive and sex negative refer to something else entirely and it completely changes what you say.
Sex favorable: “I would like to have sex”
Sex neutral: ranges from “I am indifferent to potentially having sex” to “sex? Involving me? Oh no thank you.”
Sex repulsed: “the very concept of sex is a trigger for me. I cannot consume media or participate in conversations involving it.”
Sex positive: “people should be free to have sex whenever and with whomever they like free of shame.”
Sex negative: “having sex makes you a shameful and dirty person. No one should have sex outside of a traditional hetersexual marriage.”
This is so important. I’ve seen too many women deal with horrible guilt for not being “sex positive” enough because they want to abstain for personal reasons, or they don’t enjoy mainstream porn, or they might be asexual, or they don’t want to have sex with new partners until they feel safe around them, or any number of reasons a sex-positive person may CHOOSE not to have sex.
