I think I might be a radical asexual. I’ve never self-identified as a radical anything, with the exception of possibly radically prochoice - but even then, I feel like “radical” is acknowledging one’s beliefs fall far outside the norm, and I think more people probably agree with the so-called…

I’d just like to say that you appear to be very ill-conceived of what the term “sex positive” is and implies.

If you are “sex positive,” it means that you are not scared of sex, that you feel that you should be able to have sex if you want to… but it also means that, should you not want to, you absolutely do not have to. It means that everyone gets to make their own choices about sex. It means that sex is no longer a demonized, “sinful” and villainous act by the society at large. I am sex positive. I am also a virgin. (Not, by the way, that I care about whether I am or not.)

You are also, by the sound of it, sex positive. Do you want to make your own choices about sex and gender? Yes? While you may not want to participate in sex yourself, are you afraid of it, or do you think it’s somehow wrong? No? Then congrats and welcome to the sex positive team.

(Also, none of the beliefs you listed is radical. Other than your misconception about sex positivity, I happen to agree with all of your points, OP.)

I am “afraid” of it for myself, yes. I’m afraid of it the same way I am afraid of spiders. They are disturbing to me and I don’t even like to see pictures of them. I don’t care what other people do sexually and I’m opposed to laws that want to control what other people do sexually. I wouldn’t support a law to eradicate spiders, either, because I understand they’re important to the ecosystem. But tolerating that something exists and understanding intellectually that it has a use even though I personally find it unpleasant, is hardly positivity.
