Description
THE DIGITAL AGE IS USHERING IN A SEX POSITIVE REVOLUTION
Millennial disrupter Dr Kelly Neff believes radical change is underway in our love and sex lives. Fuelled by developing technology and shifting cultural beliefs, the Sex Positive movement is a social, political and philosophical wave that promotes and embraces sexuality and sexual expression, with an emphasis on safety and consent.
In this ground-breaking study of modern sexuality, Dr Kelly Neff explores this new cultural movement and examines LGBTQI issues, #MeToo, female orgasm, the rise of non-monogamous relationships and robotic sex partners, among many other contentious topics emerging as part of the ongoing social and political shifts surrounding sex, love and identity.
"Redefining sex and love as a constructive, harmonizing experience comprises a crucial part of how we move forward as a human collective... It's not a movement solely for women, but one that can apply to all genders and lifestyles. Being sex positive is inherently inclusive, and this is the tone that I take in this book."

Geneviève R, Reviewer
Okay. This book is absolutely amazing. I am so so happy it exists!! Btw, the author occasionally uses swear words or excess punctuation AND I LOVE IT. She's also very respectful of everything she writes about in this book, even if she admits they're not for her (ex : sex [with] robots). If I had a printed copy of this book, I promise you, it would be completely highlighted. Also, trust me when I say that while reading this, I was constantly texting my friends about it, giving them info i knew they could use. I wish I could say ALL THE THINGS you need to hear to pre order this book, but I'll settle for making a list of what stuck with me the most about this book :
• Being Sex Positive = we accept how we all exist as expressions of the wide variation of human behaviour
• Binary system = a construct of society
• TwoSpirits : a third gender, noted by Native Americans many centuries ago. & they held a higher place in their society; they were considered more sacred
• About normality : there is no such thing as "normal" when it comes to sexuality. There is no right or wrong *unless you are causing harm without consent to yourself or to someone else*
• People who don't confirm to binary genders might actually have a genetic mark, as suspected for people who identify as other than heterosexual (EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS)
• Deconstruction of myths regarding transgender people + tips on how to be an ally
• Porn : porn addiction is not real. & according to a study, people who watch the most porn actually have the most active sex lives with their stable partners. It's here to sexually excite you, not teach you about RL (just like I don't expect anything to happen when I wave my wand)
• VR porn and sex robots are more of a thing and might (in a closer than we think future) take over physical sex with people.
• Anxiety : millennials are the most anxious generation ever, which explains why so many go back to more traditional forms of healing. To heal the cause, and not treat the symptoms, like modern medicine does
• We have a deeper energetic connection between mind and body than we realize
• Millennials and Gen-Z have rejected organized religion but are thus very spiritual (I had never thought of this this way. So I realized I AM a spiritual person!)
Seriously I could go on for so much longer. 5⭐
