Dr. Victoria M. Beltran, an expert in sexual health education, discusses the challenges she faces in teaching college students about sexual health and the need for comprehensive sexual education. She says that even though research around sex has advanced, she has had to teach the same curriculum for almost 20 years because people do not know “the basics” about sex. Dr. Beltran addresses the societal discomfort with sexuality, particularly female sexuality, and the need for a broader conversation that embraces individual expression and pleasure. She underscores the psychological harm caused by teaching people abstinent only education. She explains the impact of religious messaging on attitudes towards sex, advocating for adaptive doctrines. Dr. Beltran touches on the importance of advocating for sex workers and keeping the industry above ground, the reasons behind the popularity of paying for sexual interactions, and the significance of clear communication and boundaries in relationships. She concludes by emphasizing the importance of psychological safety, accepting people for who they are, and creating a positive and accepting environment which is which many members find when using LiveJasmin.
“Life in Red” is a way of life that emphasizes positive sexuality, self-love, and confidence. Red is the color of courage, passion, vitality, and eroticism, and our models reflect these values.
