The Positives of Reading Smut: Sex Positivity

What is Sex Positivity? Simply put, it is an attitude and philosophy that recognizes sexuality as a natural, healthy, and diverse part of the human experience. In my experience, many of the people who criticize smut or erotica as distasteful are those who have never actually read it and tend to hold more rigid or judgmental views about sex and intimacy. These preconceived ideas often overlook the emotional depth, character development, and exploration of complex themes that many of these stories offer.
