Overview
Sex Positive explores the life of Richard Berkowitz, a revolutionary gay S&M hustler turned AIDS activist in the 1980s, whose incomparable contribution to the invention of safe sex has never been aptly credited.

Now destitute and alone, Mr. Berkowitz tells his story to a world who never wanted to listen.
