Sorry if this is overly tangential, but as a sex educator I'm interested to know what you all think are your tribal beliefs around sexuality, and what kind of sexuality-related arguments would lead you to consider someone to be defending a non-mainstream belief.

Cultural norm for me is "sexuality is a matter of choice between consenting adults".

Non-mainstream beliefs around sexuality that I'm currently curious about include PUA lore, and this interesting site.

I agree about what my cultural norm is.

I disagree with it on two points. I'm pretty sure the legal age of consent is set considerably too high, though I'm not sure where it should be, or whether there should be a legal age of consent.

I think the "enthusiastic consent" standard in Yes Means Yes makes sense.
