"On other sites, I've seen this more & more recently, on profiles. I would have thought everyone was, or has fab warped me. Or is this a term I'm missing?" No, many many people think sex is a shameful thing. A lot of people carry guilt over sex. It's not that long ago we were told sex was a dirty thing to be endured not enjoyed. It was surprisingly recent that a husband forcing sex on his wife wasnt considered a crime for example. | |||

"I would say a significant number of my non fab friends are not sex positive. They would never talk about their sex lives, about using toys and I’m convinced they would stage some sort of intervention if they knew about my shenanigans. There is a major hangover of Catholic guilt in Irish people. " Same sex shaming is still very much engaged in. As is limit shaming. Clothing shaming. Women shaming and blaming for being on the receiving end of abuse. We are a long, long, way from being truly liberal. | |||

"I wouldn't blame it entirely on catholic guilt. I've never once had a conversation about my sex life or theirs with anyone away from fab and I've worked with many many non Catholics,non Christians and non Irish. Even on fab I've found that people who want to talk about their sex lives are often not capable of talking about anything else so while they may class themselves as sex positive, that's about as far as their positivity extends. " Of course there's a time and place and work wouldn't be one of them RB 😂 Myself and some of my female friends would be open to conversations about sex - even just as far as saying we like it, we want it as part of our lives. And Id chat to my adult children about sex and sexuality. It's not all we talk about obviously but it's about being able and feeling like it's ok to do so. | |||

" I get that and in those situations it's definitely positive. I was thinking more along the lines of how some on fab refer to themselves as professional and it grinds a lot of people's gears. Then there are those who are swinger positive and don't give a fuck who knows but at the same time don't understand why so many others aren't shouting it from the rooftops and that seems to annoy them. Being sex positive in general is brilliant. Being sex positive on fab should be a given and doesn't need to be announced. Maybe it's just me but it's a bit like having to tell others that you are nice or genuine. | |||

" I get this with my gay colleague at work lol- like he wants to see everyone else's cards and can't seem to relate to how some folk might want to remain more private about sex !! There's a time and place for this stuff! | |||

They are still doing it. They just feel they are being naughty here. Swingers are more likely to be sex positive id say, but definitely not a given. | |||

"Being sex positive doesn’t equal never shutting up about sex, talking about it whether people want to hear or not etc. It’s being comfortable discussing sex, being non judgmental about others sex lives, not kink shaming, being open to the fact that not everyone’s tastes are the same. Based on that, there are a lot of non sex positive people on here. It continues to astound me how many very conservative people there are on fab 🤷🏻♀️" Sex positive isn't talking openly about sex. It could be a sex positive thing to do, but only to those who consent to hear it. It's about feeling comfortable in your own skin, your sexuality and admitting and owning the fact that you have the choice to have multiple partners, without shame. | |||
