In this new episode of "
All Sex Explains
", the podcast that questions sexuality and society, we evoke a question that accompanies those who are going through puberty. "Am I normal, normal?" Can we love my body with these shapes that are like this or that, these marks, these imperfections? Am I going to be rejected if I want to have sex with my, my partner? ". Questions while the images of smooth, firm bodies, without traces or hairs flood everyday life. You see them at the bus stop, in stores and magazines, on screens, social networks, porn videos. These are widely disseminated in relation to the images resulting from the “body positive” movement, acceptance and visibility of different bodies.
To answer this questioning about “normality”, sexuality, differences and self-acceptance at this age in life, Margot Fried-Filliozat, sex therapist, writer and speaker is the guest of this episode.
She has published, with Isabelle Filliozat,
Sexperience, the answers to questions from teenagers,
illustrated by Audrey Malfione (Robert Laffont editions, 2019, 18 euros).
Standard and self-acceptance
“When we seek normality, we seek to be accepted. What is tricky is that we think that what others will like is what we see on TV, in magazines, at bus stops. Except that we forget the individuality of each. What makes us loved, appreciated, is not that we have a smooth stomach, plucked hair. It is our person, our body. There are people who are attracted by shapes, others by very small breasts, some attracted by long hair, short hair, tall ones, small ones, ”recalls Margot Fried-Filliozat in this episode to listen to in the reader above.
“In trying to conform to a certain mold, we forget the peculiarities of each.
And that not everyone likes the same thing.
Whatever our body brings together, if we accept it, if we give it love, if we dare to open up to the world, and connect with others, we will find people who are going to want to connect with us.
But often, when we don't feel normal, we tend to withdraw into ourselves.
This confirms the idea that, as we are not like this like that, no one will love us, ”she adds.
