Carol Queen est une auteure et sexologue américaine, active dans le mouvement féministe sex-positif. Son œuvre explore la sexualité humaine à travers des essais, des guides pratiques et de la littérature érotique, dans le but de promouvoir une compréhension plus ouverte et informée. L'influence de Queen s'étend au-delà de l'écriture à la production de films pour adultes, d'ateliers et de conférences, contribuant ainsi de manière significative à l'éducation sexuelle et au discours sexuel positif. En tant qu'éducatrice sexuelle renommée, elle défend une approche sex-positive, remettant en question les tabous et encourageant des discussions franches sur l'intimité.
PoMo: short for PostModern; in the arts, a movement following after and in direct reaction to Modernism; culturally, an outlook that acknowledges diverse and complex points of view.PoMoSexual: the queer erotic reality beyond the boundaries of gender, separatism, and essentialist notions of sexual orientation.
