Sexual Freedom
is the freedom to say yes and say no to sex. It is freedom to
enjoy sex just like any other human instinct such as eating, sleeping
and soaking up the sun, without apology or attracting stigma.
Sexual Freedom
is the freedom to enjoy consensual adult sexual activities in
private (and secluded places), whether it is paid sex, free sex,
married sex, sex with strangers, gay sex, sex involving people
with disabilities, people engaging in consensual BDSM, and a combination
of these things. Sexual Freedom is the freedom of adults to see,
hear or experience any kinds of sexual entertainment, although
the creation of such entertainment should not involve exploitation
or sexual abuse.
Sexual Freedom
gives individual adults the right to negotiate the deal of their
sexual encounters, be they financial, charitable, recreational,
committed relationship, formal marriage or other, without interference
from the state, whatever their gender, sexual orientation or tastes.
Sexual Freedom can only be achieved when (a) young people are
brought up to enjoy their own bodies, receiving positive messages
about sex from their parents, teachers and faith, and (b) sex
is discussed honestly and openly in everyday life and professional
work. Quality sex education should be supplied to everyone, providing
everything people need to know to protect themselves from abuse,
unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
Where consent
cannot be expressed because of severe disability, assumptions
should not be made that sexual pleasure is not required, until
every effort has been made confirm this, with back up provision
to fulfill basic needs which may be expressed.
