Sex-positivity is the belief that consensual sexual expression is both healthy and important in contributing to a safe and inclusive campus climate. Sex-positivity is grounded in comprehensive sex education, exploring and deconstructing gender norms, and promoting body-positivity and self-love.

What are you actually suggesting when you twist a torso or squeeze a shapely thigh to form the arc of a letter?

New York-based graphic designer Alex Merto showed us just how graphic his designs can get with “Effing Typeface,” an alphabetic revelation in which your favorite letters show their kinky sides where each of the letter designs represents a word beginning with that letter.
He embarked on “Effing Typeface” for a typography show called Fan Letters, where designers were called upon to give an ode to a letter of the alphabet. “We chose to do F, the F***ing typeface,” he writes.
