Did you know you can be polyamorous and kinky without ever having sex? That’s because terms like “poly” and “kinky” are more than just ways to describe sexual behavior. They can be part of a larger, sex-positive philosophy that guides the ways we relate to ourselves, each other, and even the divine. This presentation will explore the spiritual philosophy of sex positivity. It will also identify how heteronormative myths about sex create cultures of shame, scarcity, and disconnection that benefit institutions of power but which can traumatize us. Fortunately, psychedelics can help. Using interviews and clinical observations, this talk will show how psychedelic medicines can help us rediscover our authentic sexual personality.
