This right here. Thank you, Tsukiko.
You do not need to be a feminist to support sexual liberation. And major sexual revolutions for women can be dated back to both the Enlightenment era and the Victorian era. Before that, for centuries, there have different types of
free love expressed throughout civilizations around the world. The Egyptians are a classic read on the subject as they were open about sexuality. They created such things as contraception, sex toys, and gave women the ability to enjoy sex to the fullest. But if you want information on modern history, you should read about the sexual prowesses of women in the 1890s when the first vibrator for women was created in 1835, and became available for home purchase in 1902. The vibrator came back in women's lives in the 1960s. Thanks to both feminism and sexual liberation activists in the 1960s, we have more liberties when it comes to our bodies. That includes the right to use pharmaceutical contraceptions like the pill.
As I mentioned in the other thread, Bettie Page was an inspiration for many as she displayed courage through the 1940s and 1960s. She influenced what we view today in porn and in health articles on sexuality; including actual BDSM. And we have Hugh Hefner's Playboy to thank as well.
Oh, and there is a little thing called the
KamaSutra. Still the most revolutionary text for sexuality to this day. The Hindus were also open to the important of women's sexuality because it affects one's soul, and if you read through the pages, you would have a better grasp its philosophy and spirituality.
Mankind has been doing the freakiest things since the first instinct to have sex for pleasure and reproduction. History has also encouraged liberties on several silver platters for both sexes. If you are positive this is some
new age feminist movement, then read and watch more on history.
Outside of that: In my opinion, sex on demand nowadays has escalated thanks to the internet and because of people confusing safe, kinky sex with dangerous concepts with total disregard in the seriousness of the BDSM community. And ugh, those apps and websites nowadays that encourage zero boundaries and unsafe casual sex by clicking or tapping a few times to meet up with a complete stranger you met that day or later. Being a cam girl would be safer than that risky business.
