EUROPE 1 ACCOMPANES YOU
Can we be embarrassed by the sight of the naked body of his partner? This is the case of Celine, whose husband walks regularly in their apartment in the simplest device, and who questions the reasons for the latter to wear no clothes. Monday, in No appointment , the sexologist Catherine Blanc gave her advice.
Céline's question
My husband walks naked regularly in the apartment, is he exhibitionist?
Catherine Blanc's answer
If the question is simple, the answer is less. Is Celine's husband someone who imposes his nakedness when she is in trouble with her own nudity and that of the other, and she sees it as a kind of sexuality that is imposed on her? To walk naked is not in itself problematic, it is in relation to our culture and our idea of personal modesty that the problem can arise.
By definition, exhibitionism is to impose on the other a sexuality, to say 'I impose a sexual thought when you are not necessarily in this thought there.' "This is not all. to be naked is to put in the mind of the other a sexual idea when he is not prepared for it and can not cope with it.
Why is Celine bothered by the vision of her partner's naked body?
The question of sexuality is only in the head of the one who puts sexuality. One can be naked without any idea of sexuality, but obviously for Celine, it's sexuality, and that's why she imagines her husband exhibitionist.
If this man is still naked, at the table, in the living room, we can see that there is something inappropriate. Maybe in their sexuality, they are all fires lit and naked, but it is the field of sexuality and that it may suit him, but it obviously has a difficulty to accommodate the body and sex of the other when she is not connected to sexuality.
Should she talk to her companion?
Of course she can tell him if she is embarrassed. But he may be naturist, and in the nudist camps, all activities are done naked. For Celine's husband, walking naked may be anti-sexual, because from the moment he is naked, he denies sex, because his body is simply free, when the other is not sees that sexual. That's the difficulty, and that's why in the nudist camps, people are not invited to come and see, because in their minds, it's sexual, whereas for those who are in the peace of being able to undress, from the moment you undress, is that there is nothing to hide. This is the ambivalence of the relationship to the sexuality of each other.
