Really appreciate how the three-part framework breaks down sex positivity into actionable pieces. The inclusivity section on polyamory and other relationship dynamics is crucial because so much discourse still operates from an unexamined monogamy-as-default assumption. I've seen how just the lack of language around alternative structures makes people feel isolated even when theyre perfectly happy with their choices. The point about no moral hierarchy between relationship types needs to be said more often, especialy when alternative lifestyles get pathologized. Communication as foundation for all of this makes complete sense too.

This is not against the author, just not interested in the subject.
