The Sexual Freedom Project: Abuse and the Collective Group

(También en Español)

We really want to know if you agree that the collective group owes acknowledgement and active support to those among us who have suffered early abuse?

Can and will we advocate for many gender-nonconforming people especially who suffered abuse as children, as well as the children that are suffering today, right now?

Weigh in on this often hotly debated topic: Yes, no, or maybe under certain conditions or in certain ways and not other ways?

Make your own video, write a poem, song, or an essay — or even create an original work of art — and express your thoughts. If we feature your contribution on the site, we will send you a free VenusPlusX t-shirt to thank you.

Do you think speaking openly about sex from an early age leads to a healthier and safer sex later in life? If not, why?

The Sexual Freedom Project: Defining Your Own Sexuality

(También en Español)

There are just as many personal idiosyncrasies that distinguish everyone from the next person, as there are things that distinguish each person religiously, socially, culturally, financially, politically, etc. Why do you think accepting and defining your own sexuality, and having others accept it, is harder than any other facet of human development?

The Sexual Freedom Project: Fitting in Everywhere

(También en Español)

What does fluidity mean to you? Why does it sometimes prompt rejection, and a feeling of being out of place within the LGBT community? Or, conversely, does it lead to wider acceptance of different kinds of sexuality?

The Sexual Freedom Project: Former US Air Force Female Soldier

(También en Español)

Though the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was a giant step forward, the fact remains that there is still a long way to go in terms of equal rights in the military for women, in the gay community, and especially in the trans community. How do you feel about transgender Americans being excluded from the DADT repeal?

The Sexual Freedom Project: Structure of Creating Change

(También en Español)

Did you attend Creating Change this year? How was your experience? A number of people VenusPlusX interviewed there, for its Sexual Freedom Project, wanted to mention that the structure of the program made them feel separated and sequestered into their chosen labels and groups in the name of creating “safe” places that encourage deeper discussion.

While this aspect can be retained, what are some of the benefits of expanding into other spaces that purposel cross-reference different points of view, as are often found at the intersections of sexual identity and gender expression? We will forward your ideas on to the Creating Change 2013 organizers and share them on this site.

If we hear from you, we will send you a free VenusPlusX t-shirt to thank you.

The Sexual Freedom Project: Mass and Class

(También en Español)

Some children are very lucky to have one or more parent or relative they can have an open dialogue about sexuality with. Public schools and certainly religious-based education do not address key issues having to do with sexuality.

What are the main topics you thought were missing from your own sexual education?
