In our episode titled “Intimacy Positivity”, we considered the well-established concept of sex positivity, in which an individual holds a generally positive and receptive perspective on sex. I also introduced my notion of intimacy positivity, which describes an attitude of openness and welcoming of intimate emotional connection.

In the next several episodes, we’ll step back to look at how worldview can promote or undermine these two forms of positivity. We’ll start by considering views on the body and sex, in this episode. In the following two episodes, we’ll then look at views on relationship and on lifestyle, wrapping up with some thoughts on the interactions between worldview, sex positivity, and intimacy positivity.
