It doesn\u2019t mean \u201chaving to love everything about yourself at all costs\u201d, but <strong>to stop feeling wrong<\/strong> just because your body doesn\u2019t correspond to an ideal model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re talking about bodies that have sex, that feel pleasure, that change over time. Thin, fat, toned, soft, young, mature, marked bodies. All of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Body and sex: the reality, not the image<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In real sex, bodies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sweat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>make sounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>have folds, scars, body hair<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>aren\u2019t always \u201cposing\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet much of the erotic imagination, especially online, presents bodies that are always perfect, always ready, always desirable according to very narrow standards. It\u2019s the same mechanism we encounter when talking about <a href=\"https:\/\/spidersex.blog\/en\/big-tits\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"78\"><strong>Big Tits<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/spidersex.blog\/en\/big-ass\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"181\"><strong>Big Ass<\/strong><\/a> or other physical categories turned into labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Body positivity<\/strong> also arises as a response to these stereotypes, to remind us that <strong>sexual desire<\/strong> doesn\u2019t arise from contemplating physical perfection, but is a completely objective factor that depends on multiple factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Desire and shame<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people struggle to experience sex with serenity, not for lack of desire, but because of <strong>shame about their own body<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cI turn off the light\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cI cover up\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cI don\u2019t let anyone touch me there\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Body positivity doesn\u2019t promise miracles, but it opens up a space: one where you can <strong>be there<\/strong>, without apologizing for how you\u2019re made. And this has a huge impact also on intimate practices related to exploratory experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liking yourself isn\u2019t mandatory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One important thing: body positivity <strong>doesn't mean<\/strong> \u201cyou have to love yourself exactly as you are\u201d.<br>Sometimes it's enough:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>tolerating yourself<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>stop insulting yourself in the mirror<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>not thinking of your body's flaws (or the ones we consider flaws) as problems to solve before having sex<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Body positivity and relationships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a relationship, whether stable or casual, body positivity also becomes evident when <strong>we talk about other people's bodies<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>comments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>jokes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>comparisons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>dashed expectations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Desire grows more easily in a space where the body is not under scrutiny. This applies to everyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When it turns into rhetoric<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, body positivity has also been heavily \u201ccleaned up\u201d by marketing: slogans, hashtags, images designed to seem inclusive but that in reality always show bodies that match specific standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Awareness!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treating your own body and other people's bodies with respect makes the sexual experience freer, truer, and often more intense too. You don't have to be perfect to be desirable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Planned Parenthood \u2013 Body image &amp; sexuality<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org\">https:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Guardian \u2013 Body image and sex<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\">https:\/\/www.theguardian.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Psychology Today \u2013 Body image and intimacy<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\">https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cos\u2019\u00e8 Body positivity \u00e8 un approccio che invita a guardare il proprio corpo e quello degli altri, con meno giudizio e pi\u00f9 rispetto.
