Description
It's My Pleasure: Decolonizing Sex Positivity by Mo Asebiomo is a thought-provoking exploration of sex positivity in the context of white supremacy. This debut book challenges common assumptions about what it means to be sex-positive, tracing myths and misinformation back to racism, homophobia, transphobia, and capitalism. Asebiomo deconstructs damaging beliefs about sex, such as the idea that pleasure is a luxury or that talking about sex with young people encourages them to become sexually active. Instead, she draws on the real experiences of sexuality educators, university professors, psychologists, sex workers, and social justice organizers to guide readers in reimagining their own paths towards freedom and liberation. By examining the harmful beliefs we hold about sex, Asebiomo urges readers to reflect on their own sex education and consider how these beliefs are shaped by oppressive systems. This book is a valuable tool for anyone looking to challenge their assumptions and work towards a more inclusive and equitable understanding of sex and pleasure.
