“Shave your penis!” She applies to men the rules of intimate hygiene imposed on women

To be well shaved, to smell good, to be gentle … There is no lack of injunctions placed on women’s bodies. In advertising, the media, audiovisual representations, the appearance of the female body is very standardized. This is particularly felt in the area of ​​sexuality. The authors Clémentine Gallot and Caroline Michel have written an essay that makes visible these injunctions, an integral part of the sexual charge. “The sexual load is the mental load applied to intimacy. It is an invisible cognitive partition which sorts, lists, organizes daily life. (…) For a certain number of women, sexuality is equivalent to a to- infinite do list “, explains Clémentine Gallot in Inrockuptible.

What if, in order to make women understand what all this does, we reverse the perspective? This is what the creator of sex content offers with humor. Masha Explains. It therefore offers some “essential” rules and advice … for penises.

• Tip n ° 1: hair removal is essential: “The bristles catch all dirt and are excessively dirty.” It is therefore necessary to wax without forgetting the intergluteal fold
• Tip # 2: “Perfume yourself! (…) You wouldn’t want to disgust your partner”
• Tip # 5: test testiplasty, this surgery “revolutionary”, allowing “a better aesthetic rendering during oral sex “

Do you find that absurd? This is the goal of Masha, who aims to shock in order to “Become aware of these ridiculous injunctions” and regain power over his body.

Periods that are sometimes bad for your health

It is important to remember that pubic hair protects against STDs and vaginal yeast infection. The vagina is self-cleaning and washing or perfuming it disturbs the flora, and therefore the risk of developing infections that could cause pain, strong odors, etc. Remember that a vulva should not smell the rose since it smells … the vulva.

Fortunately, these injunctions are gradually moving. “The number of women who do not shave their pubis at all has doubled in eight years (28% in 2021 against 15% in 2013). And if the confinements have undoubtedly created conditions conducive to this trend, the health crisis n ‘only accelerated what had already been noticeable for a few years “, confided François Kraus, director of the Politics / News pole of Ifop, to the Parisian, as part of a survey published on Wednesday, February 3, 2021. Latest figure from this survey: 92% of people questioned say that pubic hair “trimmed and maintained” absolutely do not curb their desire.
