Welcome!
I'm Emily Prior and this is the
Center for Positive Sexuality. For quite some time, research and
information about sex and sexuality have focused on the negative
aspects -- disease, unwanted pregnancy, various dysfunctions,
etc. Although these are important areas to study and teach, it
has been too long since sex and sexuality have been viewed from
a positive perspective; a perspective of health, happiness, and
fulfillment. At the Center for Positive Sexuality we believe in
comprehensive sex education for all, regardless of gender or
orientation. We hope you find what you need on our site to
broaden and enrich your sex life. |

Our Mission
The World Health Organization's definition of sexual health includes "a state of physical, emotional, mental,
and social well-being related to sexuality..." requiring a "...positive and
respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the
possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion,
discrimination, and violence" and that "the sexual rights of all
persons must be respected, protected, and fulfilled." (2002)
Our mission is to provide comprehensive, sex-positive education and
information through presentations, materials, and
information about current research and resources for you and your community. |

Reviews & Comments from
Recent Presentations
"The students have given me such positive feedback. Once again, you have taken an often misunderstood area and truly
helped educate the students about it. This translates to a greater acceptance and understanding of
many other areas in our class. Please send my appreciation to all the other panel members, they were
superb."
"The students wrote some excellent papers based on your presentation and you stimulated their thinking and expanded their awareness."
"I learned some new things, and my students told me that they were really impressed with how open and detailed you were about your experiences."
