When you're a young woman, this word can be frightening. What does it all mean? The same is true for adult women. For us, there should be no taboos surrounding sexuality . Every woman, every girl, should be able to explore it without fear of judgment from others, without being held back by her own insecurities. Of course, we know that's often much easier said than done. In our "Sexuality" section, you'll find advice articles, personal stories, and plenty of current topics . You can also start a discussion on our forums, specifically in the "Sex" section . It's a completely safe and supportive space, so we'll be waiting for you there, ladies!
Tips for exploring your sexuality without feeling self-conscious
You might think it's silly, but exploring your sexuality starts with knowing your body intimately . Don't hesitate to look at yourself, to examine yourself in detail, even the most intimate parts of your anatomy. Never let anyone tell you it's "disgusting." Your body belongs to you, and in the 21st century, it's high time we eliminated the taboos surrounding female sexuality.
Beyond tips for overcoming insecurities in the bedroom, we also offer some ideas to spice up your sex life. These include: 3 ideas for making love without penetration , the discovery of the 77 position which is likely to give the famous 69 a run for its money, and our suggestions for unusual places to make love !
We also analyze current events by addressing topics such as the famous " dick pics " ("penis photos") that men love to send us, or the phenomenon of robot men who could soon find themselves in our beds!
As you can see, we have no shortage of imagination. For us, sex shouldn't have any barriers. We often hear that curvy women, for example, have little to no sex life. Similarly, if they do, it's supposedly only because they're a walking fantasy. This is obviously completely false ! And here at the editorial office, we're really keen to shatter all these stereotypes.
In terms of sexuality and femininity, there's still a long way to go! In fact, it's clear that far too many French people (of all genders) still have hang-ups about sex . We're pretty sure you were unaware of these 10 facts about orgasm . By reading this article, you'll understand that the effects of sex go far beyond what you imagine... Sex is closely linked to our health
Eat, move, and... have sex! Yes, if you want to be in top shape, regular sexual activity is highly recommended. It releases endorphins, the "feel-good" hormones, and can even help with weight loss and/or curb snacking !
And these Instagram accounts certainly won't tell you otherwise! Vulva, clitoris... Female pleasure will hold no more secrets for you ! And it can be very enlightening if you're a man. We women particularly appreciate it when our partner tries to find our G-spot . And let me tell you right now: we don't all have the same one! That would be too easy...
If you're not in the mood for intercourse right away, you can also take your time with languorous foreplay . It will even be excellent for your health. According to science, kissing is very good for your health . At The Body Optimist, we've never doubted it... Just as your diet can say a lot about your sex life! Yes, really...
We also love exploring fantasies. For example, we explain the meaning of the most common erotic dreams . We also introduce you to some really cool new toys, like remote-controlled vibrating panties . A gift idea to spice up your sex life ... Don't hesitate to surprise your sweetheart!
Gentlemen, don't think this section is just for women! You'll also find advice and support here. We explain, for example, that men with a bit of a belly are much better lovers ! Gone are the days when we only swore by the ultra-muscular, photoshopped hunks in magazines.
