For quite some time, research and information about sex and sexuality have focused on the negative aspects -- disease, unwanted pregnancy, various dysfunctions, etc. Although these are important areas to study and teach, it has been too long since sex and sexuality have been viewed from a positive perspective; a perspective of health, happiness, and fulfillment. At the Center for Positive Sexuality we believe in comprehensive sex education for all, regardless of gender or orientation. We hope you find what you need on our site to broaden and enrich your sex life.

The World Health Organization's definition of sexual health includes "a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being related to sexuality..." requiring a "...positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination, and violence" and that "the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected, and fulfilled." (2002)

Our mission is to provide comprehensive, sex-positive education and information about marginalized sexual orientations and identities through presentations, materials, and information about current research and resources for you and your community.
