Last updated on: July 17, 2018 at 2:20 pm By River Enodian

The time has come for women to be able to embrace their sexuality in whatever form or forms it does (or does not) come in without being objectified for it. Unfortunately too often "sex positive" culture has done just that under the guise of liberation. Read more
