Nick Clegg is calling on the public to help repeal bad laws. His website is not working very well yet, but if you go to http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/ and register, you can begin to express your views. Perhaps you might like to start by “search” and type in Sexual Freedom. If you are lucky, you may find Tuppy’s suggestion to Ban all the Laws against Consenting Adults’ Sexual Freedom. Let’s hear it for accessible brothels (by repealing all the silly laws criminalising keeping a brothel) and tick to agree with all the ideas you like, and against the others. Sex positive people are often too busy shagging to express their views so, this time, get to it!

From Dr Tuppy Owens
Best wishes to all SFC supporters for a sexy and more politically triumphant 2010 than we’ve been seeing in recent years. Although the SFC has done little obvious campaigning of our own in recent years, we do help to coordinate and support other campaigns. One 2009 triumph was the SHADA conference at the Royal Society of Medicine with performances by sex workers on stage, covered in The Times. See www.shada.org.uk. Please also look at the Erotic Awards site www.erotic-awards.co.uk which awards the pioneers, campaigners, academics and politicians who are fighting on our behalf for sexual freedom. The 2010 Awards will be no exception. Support us at Cunning Stunts, an uncensored cabaret on 3rd February. See here:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kw4qxdy5Gw
