Several attempts have been made to repeal the Sexual Freedom resolution. The first repeal to reach the UN floor, in August 2006, was sponsors by Kivisto. The second repeal, sponsored by Karmicaria, reached the UN floor a few months later in late October 2006. In both cases, replacement proposals had been drafted and proponents of the repeals pointed to the replacements in order to sway nations unwilling to repeal the original resolution without a viable replacement, but the repeals still failed. The second repeal attempt did manage to receive approximately an additional 1,000 votes that the previous attempt did not receive. In April 2007, the third repeal attempt, sponsored by David6, actually passed by a supermajority. However, the low vote turnout suggests that many nations abstained from voting. This idea is supported many statements from nations that stated that they did not want to support the original resolution or any of the repeals.

2nd Attempt
Background
The second Repeal "Sexual Freedom" was the second resolution sponsored by Karmicaria to reach the UN floor. Karmicaria announced its interest in pursuing a replacement to the Sexual Freedom resolution during the debates on its Outlaw Necrophilia resolution and had already begun a draft replacement prior to this repeal achieving a quorum. Though the reached the floor on Oct. 31, 2006, the official debate on the motion began on Oct. 29. Repeal proponents pointed UN members to the replacement resolution, hoping to sway more votes in favour of the repeal. However, many nations that approved of the replacement, such as Norderia, still had reservations about opening up the floor towards potential blocker resolutions.[1]
