It's Friday and it's the day of “Tout Sexiquer”, the “sex” meeting of our podcast “Minute Papillon!

".

Today, we are going to talk about the difficulty of speaking freely about sexuality without being labeled when you are a young woman.

Indeed, if female sexuality is no longer a taboo, why are words referring to it too often perceived as too vulgar or childish when used by young women, teenagers?

And, being careful not to generalize, why do some women have such a hard time talking about what makes them come?

Freedom of speech is however essential to name new concepts or new sexual orientations, but also to get out of injunctions around the hair, the shape of the vulva or that of the nipples.

Appoint to make exist

In this episode, we will discuss with Daphné Leblond, co-director of 

My name is clitoris

, prize for best documentary at the Magritte du Cinéma 2020. In this documentary, a dozen teenage girls and young women tell, in front of the camera, at home, their sexuality. , their bodies, their desires, their questions and uncertainties.

Whether in Paris, Brussels or Brittany, all claim the right of women to informed sex education, free from constraints and judgment.

Daphné Leblond underlines the importance of knowing how to name things: “To name is to make it exist (…) in the mind as in the body, in thought as in sensation.

Conversely, many people do not have these words of pleasure, desire, desire, certain sensations (…) and therefore do not feel them, do not know what they are ”.

So why are words missing?

“These words do not exist or hardly exist in the transmission from parents to children.

They look a little confused, ashamed, dirty.

These words hardly exist at school.

(…) When we have no words, we refer to something that we very falsely call instinct.

But instinct is just the norm in its purest form.

That is to say that if we cannot discuss with someone what we are going to do, we will simply let ourselves be drawn into a reproduction of habits, of received ideas which are only reproductions of social norms, ”replies Daphné Leblond.

"A real revolution"

Regarding standards, injunctions on the body and female sexuality, the young director believes that “being able to put personal words on things allows you to express your difference from the norm”.

Finally, she deplores that with the liberation of the word on sex comes a return of injunctions.

Daphné Leblond hopes that with this documentary, "each woman will take on the subject individually, and see what is possible on her own scale".

And the director concludes: “What we want is a real revolution.
