In our Minute Papillon

, we find our appointment

Tout Sexplication

with Anne-Laure Parmantier, the guest of this episode.

Entrepreneur, Anne-Laure Parmantier launched in February 2019 the independent podcast "On The Verge", a space for conversation with men about male sexuality.

They talk about their lives and their questions, their sexual orientations but also their practices... This podcast highlights a diversity of experiences and points of view of these men, and is now available in a book,

On The Verge,

published published by Robert Laffont (18.90 euros).

Porn as a first approach to sexuality?

The freedom of speech is essential to name new concepts or sexual orientations, but also to get out of injunctions.

We talk about it with Anne-Laure Parmantier in this episode.

She first returns to the men questioned about their sexuality.

“Many are lost, they wonder (…), they need to have answers to their questions”, she underlines.

Anne-Laure Parmantier also recalls that many of these men, young teenagers, had very little access to sex education.

“Many have discovered, in the playground, and obviously pornography, the first links with sexuality.

That's how they forged their fantasies, how they projected their future sexuality.

Which makes for sexualities that are very heteronormative, with extremely stereotyped bodies, with practices [inspired] by adult cinema (…)”.

Discoveries, experiences, relationships with one or more partners have often deconstructed this first approach to sexuality.

What standards and injunctions on men?

This episode on the word of men about their sexuality echoes a precedent on the word of women, the expression of their intimate life and their desire, with the director Daphné Leblond.
