Some grammars might use the terms 'object' and 'actor' in this  
discussion of active verbs.

The politicians that do, call it 'pro-sex' or 'sex-positive'.  In  
those worlds, there are no prostitutes, only sex workers, attempting  
to decriminalize sex just like we decriminalized booze a century-or-so  
ago.

If you want to go beyond politics to religion, there are certainly sex- 
positive religions.   Really, even here in Seattle.  Catholics have  
confessional booths.  The booths at these sex-positive temples (yes,  
temples) have a more body-centered "Oh God!" connection going on.

And, just to make sure that this isn't TOO far OT, there *is* an open  
source sex podcast, though it's been inactive lately.  The sex  
community has many of the same issues with access to it's content/ 
performance as us (e.g. Digital Rights, and Open Source, and Creative  
Commons, and Free Software).  They say "free as in 'free speech'", too.

Perhaps *we* should disambiguate 'free' with "Free as in sex speech.   
Free as in sex acts."

Beer is overrated.
