Ethical slut - a new manifesto for a new millenium

I was been working on a workshop idea for the Summit about the concept of ethical slut in the LGBTI community and how we can find a way to celebrate sexual liberation and freedom while promoting safer sex, discussions and disclosure of sero-status, and enable freedom of sexual choice without creating cultural power dynamics and either normalising or stigmatising sexual diversity. I'd welcome collaboration...anyone interested?

I think the issue is that for the last 25yrs of the HIV epidemic we (the public health movement) have demonised sexual liberation and I think there is a need to move away from a solely monogomous view of relationships and rather promote positive attitudes towards sexual liberation which include constructive attitudes to safer sex and sero-testing.

If you are 100% safe with a hundred partners and unsafe with 1, which is the greater risk?  I guess what I'm suggesting is that the approaches which promoted a single monogamous relationship are not working for the millions of single gay and bisexual men who find the heterosexual model of a monogamous relationship in the he gay community an urban myth. This has promoted a model of relationship which simply doesn't work for everyone, yet we have stigmatized sexual liberation, viewing the back room culture and saunas as a very negative aspect of the community, and although some organizations do great outreach work in these settings, the overall tone is one of judgement.
By allowing discussion which doesn't judge and instead works with concepts of sexual liberation and safer techniques for sex being built into those, I think we can move to a new era of sexual health for gay and bisexual men.
Without it, we continue to judge men for having multiple partners and pathologise their relationships driving them further from community programmes and filling them with guilt and shame.
Celebrating sexual liberation promotes a variety of relationship styles and doesn't give predominance to any particular style of relationship, perhaps if we were a bit more open to the variety of relationships and sexual styles, we would have fewer gay men suffering with depression, alcohol and substance misuse and such high rates of smoking.
