The Sexual Freedom Coalition brings together all the groups campaigning for sexual freedom, to form a united force. We also campaign ourselves when we feel this is necessary, and speak out for sexual freedom at every opportunity. We actively challenge the Home Office, governments, religion, police and press for the sexual freedom of all consenting adults.
Our talent lies in plain speaking about sex, free of the influence of commerce, popularist media, celebrity-talk, government, Home Office or other funding restrictions.
Our strength lies in having a team of highly experienced professionals, including lawyers, and “ordinary people doing extraordinary things” who beleive very strongly in sexual freedom and are prepared to fight for it, challenge bigotry, prejudice and prudery.
We campaign for sexual pleasure to be treated seriously, sex workers to be respected, people to be able to do, see and enjoy whatever we choose, so long as it is all adult and consensual.
