'@makelovenotporn ends rape culture by showing you how wonderful great consensual, communicative sex is in the real world. We role model good sexual values and behaviour, and we make THAT aspirational.”

'In Gallop’s estimation, every issue surrounding intimacy, consent and respect comes down to the fact that we as a society struggle to talk about sex.' @stephnuzzo @lifehacker @LifehackerAU lifehacker.com.au/2021/04/we-nee…

'Nobody ever brings us up to behave well in bed. But they should. Because in bed, values like empathy, sensitivity, generosity, kindness, honesty, [&] respect are as important as those values are in every other area of our lives, Gallop said.' @StephNuzzo lifehacker.com.au/2021/04/we-nee…

'Society’s problem with sex, Gallop stressed, is innately dangerous. Violent “perpetrators rely on the fact we don't talk about sex,” she said. They rely on the likelihood “victims will never speak up; never go to the authorities.”' @StephNuzzo lifehacker.com.au/2021/04/we-nee… #sextech

“You can talk body positivity all you like. You can preach self-love until you’re blue in the face,” Gallop said. Nothing makes people feel great about their own bodies like seeing people who aren’t aspirational body types, getting turned on by each other' lifehacker.com.au/2021/04/we-nee…

'@makelovenotporn acts as a comfort. Because in celebrating “real-world bodies, real-world penis size, real-world breast size,” it sends the message that all people of all kinds are sexually desirable.' @stephnuzzo @LifehackerAU lifehacker.com.au/2021/04/we-nee…

'@makelovenotporn showcases how intimate (and sexy!) it can be to talk consent..seeing regular people talk about what they do and don’t want without discomfort or shame acts like a ‘how to guide’ for safe and open sexual communication' @StephNuzzo lifehacker.com.au/2021/04/we-nee…

'@makelovenotporn is proof telling your bedroom buddy “actually, I’m not into this” won't derail your night. It'll just take your romp down a more satisfying road, for the both of you. “We are literally education through demonstration,” Gallop said.' lifehacker.com.au/2021/04/we-nee…

'The truth of it is a more accepting attitude towards sex talk does more than help people to get off. It breaks down harmful stereotypes around gender, it creates safe environments where expression is encouraged, & it helps us to build deeper connections' lifehacker.com.au/2021/04/we-nee…

'Having that trickle-down generation by generation has the potential to completely transform our behaviour as a society.
As Gallop put it: “We call ourselves the social sex revolution. The revolutionary part isn’t the sex, it’s the social.”' @stephnuzzo lifehacker.com.au/2021/04/we-nee…
