Sex positivity is not applicable for men - only women and couples are allowed to partake

Why?

This is one definition of it.

Sex-positivity is "an attitude towards human sexuality that regards all consensual sexual activities as fundamentally healthy and pleasurable, encouraging sexual pleasure and experimentation." But in reality, that seems to exclude single men (of which I'm one).

Historically and currently men have not required much encouragement to 'express' themselves sexually 😞

@SunshineGirl It's not about 'sexual expression' in my understanding, but about positively accepting and encouraging everything that a person 'brings to the table' in terms of sex and intimacy. Why men seem to be left out of this is the social question I've raised.

@zonavar68 Sure, I accept that. But a major part of positivity is establishing that female sexuality is equally valid to male and that there is nothing perverted about women talking about and enjoying sex. The main barrier in my opinion is that men have dominated the discourse.
