What is wrong with being "sex-negative"?

[Interplanner]

Paradoxum,
does your banner mean equality of outcome or equality of opportunity? Look up CS Lewis on 'We have no 'Right to Happiness.'' (It's the last short essay of GOD IN THE DOC). It is still an important edge between healthy and unhealthy thinking, consfusion about what is to be considered a 'right'?

Equality of rights and liberties, opportunity, and in my mind it's connected to fairness (to some extent) too.

I don't see how you could enforce happiness as a right anyway.

Those who think happiness should be a right are trying every way they can.

Lewis said the Declaration of Independence was very adroit to refer to the pursuit of it, but not the right of it. Amen to that.

In general answer to the question of the OP, see bornthatway.com.

Did the OP define the term?...

Yes, it has been clearly defined as not subscribing to the ideology known as sex-positivism.

Sex-positivism, as I understand it, says that sex is "natural" and "good", that the only limit on sexual behavior should be consent, and that if a person is not having as much sex as he/she can get or is not enjoying it then there is something wrong with him/her or he/she does not know what he/she is doing sexually.

So if a person thinks that the products of the pornography industry are of poor quality then he/she is "sex-negative". If a person thinks that sex is not important then he/she is "sex-negative".

But irrational responses like the ones in this thread about "oppressive" or "asexual" are what dominate discourse about human sexuality, I suppose.
