Abstract
This essay considers how we make sense of the persistence of shame in the 20th anniversary year of Sexualities and a broader contemporary context in which the discourse of sex positivity has become predominant? This is an important moment in the development of the field to consider the status of sexual shame, not least because the discourse of sex positivity produces a call to action predicated on a repudiation of shame; shame as regressive, ignorant, reactionary and politically suspect.
