Two american women reviewed sex tips from women’s magazines, noted that these tips consisted only in recommendations to increase their partner’s pleasure and drew from these tips to write a slam poem.
“I’m learning to take my body back”, which could have been the mantra for this website (the Clitothèque), is the final sentence of the slam, said forcefully and committedly by both women. These two women tell the story of many of us who have read, and read again, inadequate (or even ridiculous) sex tips whose sole purpose is to satisfy a “penis”. After some time, these tips tend to forget our needs, tend not to respect our bodies and do not encourage us to regain our share of sexual desire.
No, I am not completely mad : our sex culture is indeed asymetric in terms of pleasure.
No, I am not the only one who has felt the need to establish and abolish my vision of sex and my relationship with my body.
This slam is like a teddy : I listen to it when I have the blues. It is both comforting and strong.
