Sex Positive Feminism

I just came across the term Sex Positive Feminism in reference to feminists who say that they are ok with porn and am wondering what in God’s name it’s supposed to mean. That feminists who aren’t ‘sex positive‘ are have something against sex? That being a feminist automatically implies that you’re ’sex negative’ so you have to specifically say that you’re not?
I dislike porn and everything associated with it — the degradation of women, the objectification, the coercion, etc. — and I’m not sure how it’s possible to be enthusiastic about women’s rights but not be anti-porn.
