INTERVIEW
"Sexuality is the playground of the big ones. This may be the last place where we have the right to have fun, to play a role. [...] This is the place where we are supposed to have fun but unfortunately, it is rarely the case. This is a subject that is often too serious, with too much pressure, "says Zep, whose real name is Philippe Chappuis, guest on the show L'équipement sauvage this Friday.
The Swiss author leaves Happy Sex 2 (Editions Delcourt), a comic strip of 60 boards forbidden under 18 years. An album and a gallery of characters in funny situations "This is not pornographic because it is not intended to excite the reader. It's an album of humor for the big ones, "he summarizes.
For the author of Titeuf , "we are invaded by pornography", which gives "rather unusual behaviors" as "young people who think that" sexual blooming is facial ejaculation ". He thus believes with Happy Sex 2 , to be in a more real relationship to sexuality.
Apps dating and right to orgasm
Between the two volumes of Happy Sex , ten years have passed. A decade during which the relationship to sexuality has evolved. What is felt in this second volume. The 51-year-old is interested in dating apps and connected sex. "For all those who have tried, it's quite conducive to gags," he says ironically. There are always bugs. Ecstasy is rarely there. "
Another change is the role of women in these new boards. "Compared to Volume 1, women are characters who claim more pleasure, the right to orgasm, to choose their sexuality. It really changed in ten years, Me Too did a lot for that, "Zep remarks. "Today we can talk about masturbation, it is no longer shameful or synonymous with poor sexuality, he rejoices. On the contrary, it is part of personal fulfillment. "
