A while back my friend Allena Gabosch asked me to write an essay for a new collection called Sex Positive Now, and a few days ago I received a press release for the book with the request that I share it. So without further ado:
Allena Gabosch and Jeremy Shub have written Sex Positive Now , a book about sex-positivity. The book contains essays and interviews by and with sex positive celebrities, activists and educators along with additional content written by Allena and Jeremy. The book covers topics including the History of Sex-Positive Culture , Sex Negativity, Cultural Taboos about Porn and Sex Work, Health and Emotions, Intimacy, Relationships, Polyamory, Kink, Tantra/Sacred/Taoism, Consent, and Community. Our goal is to support the change of cultural norms around sexuality and relationships so people have the freedom and permission to be the sexual beings they already are. Pleasure and joy are vital to our wellbeing and sexual shame is a thing of the past. People are celebrated for their sexuality, gender, who or how they love. Consensual sexuality in all of its forms is healthy and life affirming. People can make conscious choices about their sexuality and relationships. A few of our 55 contributors include Annie Sprinkle, Janet Hardy, Race Bannon, Susie Bright, Buck Angel and Cunning Minx. If you want to review and promote the book, free ebooks will be available for review. You can purchase the book at sexpositivenow.com and the book launch will be in Melbourne and Seattle on 28th Oct.
