Just wanted to flag up a new blog exploring sex positive parenting. It's sexpositiveparenting.wordpress.com. It's still really new but will be worth keeping an eye on.

Garbled
But hope it makes sense

But everyone is sex positive in that everyone thinks sex 'where appropriate ' is fine. Define where it's appropriate. I've only come accross the term sex positive in relation to feminists who broadly support the sex industry. I'm sex positive too but I don't think a commodities transactional form of sex is appropriate.

Is this better?

This blog is a collaborative effort from various bloggers aiming to bring their children up in a sex positive way- one that aims to bring children up to not be constrained by their gender or gender stereotype, One that celebrates individual differences and supports children to develop emotional resilience, good body image and self esteem, with good relationships skills such as communication, trusting, honesty and understanding of consent, and negative relationships. Sex Positive Parents recognise that sex in an appropriate context isn't shameful or dirty, and that we shouldn't be embarrassed about the human body and what it can do.

Not at all, that's a really good point! I literally drafted it two days ago and you are the first person to notice that. I think I mean celebrate the individual more regardless of gender but have phrased it really badly! Will reword and thankyou so much for pointing it out!.

I followed the link, but I'm a wee bit confused about what the blog is about.

The blog's purpose statement goes -

"This blog is a collaborative effort from various bloggers aiming to bring their children up in a sex positive way- one that celebrates gender and individual differences and prevents gender stereotyping and limiting opportunities by gender.

One which supports children to develop emotional resillience, good body image and self esteem, with good relationships skills such as communication, trusting, honesty and understanding of consent, and negative relationships. Sex Positive parents recognise that sex in an appropriate context isn?t shameful or dirty, and that we shouldn?t be embarrassed about the human body and what it can do."

I totally get and agree for the second paragraph, but something seems contradictory in the first one.

Basically, how does one "celebrate gender differences" but at the same time "prevent gender stereotyping" and "limiting opportunities by gender."

Am I missing something really obvious here?
