To be sex positive is to practice sex responsibly, safely and to encourage exploration of one's own sexuality.
As a traditionally sex positive community, Capitol Hill offers many resources for HIV and STD preventative education, erotic workshops, support groups and community outreach. Through participation in organizations like Lifelong AIDS Alliance, Seattle University students are active members of this community.
"What we need to recognize is that each of us has our own sexuality, and as human beings we have desires," says Robert House, policy coordinator at Lifelong AIDS Alliance. "Being sex positive is making safer, healthier choices about our sexual practices."
He says Capitol Hill is a prime place for individuals to express their sexuality amidst a positive and supportive environment.
"Capitol Hill offers a place for people to express their God-given sexuality in a safer way," House says. "Specifically, the hill offers a place for LGBTQ folk to experience it without needing to worry about shame, which is good because they are less likely to engage in risky sexual behavior."
