It is absolutely baffling to me how the conservative side of society can compare "sexting" and pornography to rape so casually. The complete disrespect for women and misunderstanding for sexuality that it expresses is really disappointing.S.C.

It is appalling that rape be contrasted to consensual sexual behaviour, even among children, and although the author was probably trying to make a point about how difficult it is to track images transmitted through the aids of modern technology, it diminishes the significance of rape and the magnitude of this kind of violence. Like you say, it is sex negative because it confuses two very different issues, problematizing consensual acts in ways the author shouldn't. <br /><br />Also like you say, the risks and consequences of sex-negativity are many and they include a proven increase in risky sexual behaviour on behalf of youth, which is fundamental, because although I could wax poetic about how sex negativity has harmed women and LGBTQQI2S peoples, the very simplest counter-argument to sex negativity is higher transmission rates for HIV and other STIs.Saver Queenhttp://saverqueen.comnoreply@blogger.com
