Prude is a reclaimed term used by people resisting sex-necessarism — our word for a sex-necessary culture.

"Prude" invites us to celebrate our boundaries and to question our sexual landscape.

Where the reclaimation of "slut" honours saying "yes" to pleasure, "prude" honours saying "no" to sexual expectation

--------

PRUDEmag is a zine reclaiming the term "prude" as a refusal of sex-necessarism.

We promote "prude pride" as a celebration of our autonomy and boundary setting, a resistance to our sex-necessary culture, and a liberatory lens in which "no" is sacred.

Why prom?

Most prom traditions heavily reinforce the sexual status quo. Prude Prom is an opportunity to subvert, reclaim, and reimagine these traditions as ones that celebrate prudeness rather than suppress it.
