Society tells women that connecting to and expressing their sexuality is inappropriate and shameful. They\u2019re taught that sex is something that should happen only in wedlock with the intent of conception. However, denying women the ability to explore their sexuality\u2014independently and with partners\u2014takes power and pleasure away from them and gives it to men. If women aren\u2019t allowed to explore themselves, they\u2019re unable to experience pleasure without a man and are never given the opportunity to understand their own wants and needs. On the other hand, society says it\u2019s OK for men to explore their sexuality alone and with others outside of wedlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Anthropologists explain that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucl.ac.uk\/news\/2022\/sep\/analysis-how-did-patriarchy-start-and-will-evolution-get-rid-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the suppression of female sexuality can be traced to the start of farming, cattle-keeping, and competition over resources<\/a>. Once communities started having excess resources, men needed to fight to protect the resources from raids. Women couldn\u2019t do this type of work and were confined to the house. As this system progressed, men gained control over resources, and wealth inequality began to arise. Maintaining one&#8217;s wealth became important, and people did so through inheritance. However, men needed to ensure that their wives were giving birth to their children and not another man\u2019s. Therefore, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/women-sexuality\/\">women\u2019s sexuality<\/a> was suppressed and controlled while men\u2019s wasn\u2019t.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tsabary says that <strong>women should reclaim their sexuality by exploring their own bodies and sexual interests. <\/strong>They should shamelessly decide who they want to have sex with, when, and how often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/come-as-you-are\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Come As You Are<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>Emily Nagoski explains that part of exploring your sexuality is understanding <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/come-as-you-are#your-individual-sexual-personality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the two-system mechanism in your brain that defines your sexuality personality<\/a>, which is different for everyone. The first system is the Sexual Excitation System (SES), which controls arousal\u2014it scans your environment for potential turn-ons. The other system is the Sexual Inhibition System (SIS), which scans the environment for potential reasons <em>not<\/em> to have sex. Understanding what triggers your desire to have or not have sex can help you have a more enjoyable experience. For instance, learning how to reduce SIS triggers can keep you from feeling like there\u2019s something wrong with you when your SIS prevents your body from responding even when you <em>want<\/em> to have sex.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s holding women back from fully embracing their sexuality?
