ORIGINAL: King of Kafiristan I am sorry this theft took place. Perhaps if the under class had a better economic outlook, incidents like this would be less common. PS I am not going to make light of this situation just because it involves sex toys. As a sex positive consenting adult, I see no difference between this crime and one involving electronics, jewelry or ancient artifacts. Although I agree with your sentiment, I'd be a hypocrite if I was posting messages of sympathy or condolence. I often feel so disconnected with stories like this that it seems to take extreme circumstances to generate any real emotion (thieves robbing a house at Christmas and stealing the presents under the tree, or if this happened to someone I know etc, would make me angry for example), that a standard "How awful, my condolences to them all" message would be a false and empty gesture Plus the words "Sex Shop" bring out the inner child inside me who still finds it funny when I drive through the town of Pant on my way to Liverpool, to see that some smart alec has added an S to the sign to spell "PantS" Oh I'd pretty much agree. I was mostly just making a point about how our media (perhaps this is more an american problem) still finds sex so titilating. It's like the stories where "man kills friend over videogames" get publicized when "man kills friend after argument over money" gets ignored. quote:
ORIGINAL: horribleives What does 'sex positive' mean? It just means, as far as I understand it, that I think it's a healthy and fun activity that doesn't need to be talked about in hushed whispers. It's a reaction to American prudery. Ah right. God bless the USA - they've even invented a label for simply being a normal person. It's slightly more open minded than the norm, according to the official definition: quote:
The sex-positive movement is an ideology which promotes and embraces open sexuality with few limits. Sex positivity is "an attitude towards human sexuality that regards all consensual sexual activities as fundamentally healthy and pleasurable, and encourages sexual pleasure and experimentation. The sex-positive movement is a social and philosophical movement that advocates these attitudes. The sex-positive movement advocates sex education and safer sex as part of its campaign."[1] The movement makes no moral distinctions among types of sexual activities, regarding these choices as matters of personal preference.
