The introductory section is too long. A concise, one-paragraph summary would be better, with additional material incorporated into distinct, named sections.
Historical roots – off to a good start, but material about the 1980s "Feminist Sex Wars" is still needed (A Wikipedia article with this title is definitely needed as well), as well as material on more recent developments.
Pornography – some room for expansion. Sex-positive feminists defend access to pornography, some even produce it, but what do they say are its virtues? What is their response to the anti-porn claim that porn is inherently misogynist and viewing porn causes misogyny?
Sex work – room for expansion about sex-worker-rights activists and their ideas; there should be an entire Wikipedia article about sex-worker rights.
Sexual orientation – mistakenly emphasizes the "lavender menace", a battle took place in 1970, long before anybody spoke of "pro-sex" or "anti-porn" feminism. Anti-lesbian feminism was a historic quirk and is quite simply dead. (If anything, feminism quickly went entirely the other way, into what was an often anti-heterosexual position.) The position that sex-positive feminism took from the beginning was that sexual orientation is a matter of personal identity and that there is no right or wrong sexual orientation. This was an explicit rejection of both the "lavender menace" and lesbian separatist positions. Note that sex-positive feminism defends choice in sex roles (eg, butch/femme) and relationship orientation (eg, polyamoury, monogamy, celibacy) as well as in sexual orientation.
Debates within sex-positive feminism – definitely some room for expansion here. Some less radical sex-positive feminists have little problem with socially-dominant sex roles and sexual tastes, others, especially "queer" sex-positives are very critical of them. What unites both is the idea that sexual tastes, whether mainstream or alternative, must be allowed to be freely chosen.
Critiques of sex-positive feminism – much room for expansion here. Surely during the "sex wars" and the 20+ years since then, anti-porn feminists have come up with some kind of critique of sex-positive feminism beyond "certain sexual practices have historically benefited men rather than women...."
Further resources – this section is kind of an orphan, and much of it is repetition of material that's already been mentioned. Perhaps move much of this material to other sections, re-title this section, and/or clarify its purpose.
Sex positive literature – another orphan, which should either be expanded or deleted. It seems to be a suggestion for a list, but lists are better broken out into their own articles rather than break up the flow of a regular article.
Citations – more are needed. Should the academic Harvard style be kept or Wikipedia "ref" style. Both have advantages and drawbacks.
Overall organization – more attention to "what goes where" when it comes to adding to content to different sections, and avoiding repetition.
