Sexuality of the French at half mast: “there is a disappearance of sexual life, it’s worrying”, estimates a sexologist – (franceinfo)
The sexuality of the French is at half mast. According to an Ifop study, the rate of sexual activity has never been so low since the 1970s, and particularly among young people. Thérèse Hargot, essayist, couples therapist and sexologist, was the guest of 12/13 info.
The French and in particular young people between 18 and 25 are making love less and less. “People continue to have a sexual life but often individually, that is to say through the massive consumption of pornography, but also through the use of sex toys. There is a disappearance of the relationship sexual, it’s worrying”analyzes Thérèse Hargot, sexologist. According to the guest, the pornography industry is one of the biggest culprits, and the use of screens in general leads to an escape from the relationship.
A “post-Me Too” effect
On the other hand, “since post-Me Too, there is confusion between sexual consent and sexual desire”believes Thérèse Hargot. The guest says that you have to take time and keep a rhythm. “To have a fulfilling sex life, you have to allow yourself moments (…) sexuality do part of our life”according to the sexologist.
