Carol Queen è un'autrice e sessuologa americana, profondamente coinvolta nel movimento femminista sex-positivo. Il suo lavoro esplora la sessualità umana attraverso saggi, guide pratiche ed erotismo, con l'obiettivo di promuovere una comprensione più aperta e informata. L'influenza di Queen si estende oltre la scrittura alla produzione di film per adulti, workshop e conferenze, contribuendo in modo significativo all'educazione sessuale e al discorso sessuale positivo. Come importante educatrice sessuale, sostiene un approccio sex-positivo, sfidando i tabù e incoraggiando discussioni franche sull'intimità.
