The Myth Of The Delight Pussy Analysis

Decent Essays
The article “The Myth of the Tight Pussy” emphasizes the myths we had created in our society due to the socialization we have between each other. It also highlights the way our culture shapes our ideals of sexuality. Our values, beliefs and behaviors are the ones that shape the way we define sex. These aspects depend on each individual since we are from distinct races, religious and ethnicities. This article tells us a little bit about how the definitions of “the myths of the perfect or ugly pussy” and other taboos have a different meaning since each individual get different ideas from their agents of socialization such as family, friends and media. Therefore, it’s easier for society to make value judgments base on our ethical and moral standards.

    • “Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm”: Sigmund Freud’s theory that a woman has not achieved sexual maturity unless she’s experienced sexual pleasure in her vagina. Enforces heterosexual views of sexuality and enforces the belief that women need men to achieve orgasm; a myth maintained deliberately by men. He also mentions that “if a woman is unable to achieve sexual pleasure even though she has an adequate partner, shows her frigidity and her need for psychiatric assistance”, this statement enhances the idea of normalizing dependency on men for pleasure and also condemns lesbian sex as they do not reach orgasm through penetration, therefore not sexually mature. • Asexuality: a form of sexual behavior in which the person is not sexually attracted…

    Carole S. Vance, who wrote the Please and Danger: Exploring Female Sexuality in 1984, provides a historical account of the issues surrounding societies perceptions, beliefs, and expectations of women sexuality.

    From a very young age we are taught the “sexual scripts” (pg. 313) that we are expected to follow and this largely dictates how we feel we should conduct our intimate relationships. Sexual scripts in many societies are largely “heteropatriarcical” meaning they are based on a system of heterosexual male dominance (pg. 354). Tight control over what is sexually acceptable can be harmful for the development of healthy intimate relationships especially for those who do not fall within the traditional heterosexual gender binary. A young American female receives mixed messages about her sexuality every day. In her article The Cult of Virginity author Jessica Valenti says that, “present-day American society- whether through pop culture, religion, or institutions –conflates sexuality and morality constantly” (pg. 336).…

Women may be influenced to imitate these behaviors, or even exaggerate their sexuality, to appear desirable to men. Women may also feel unconfident when comparing their bodies to those seen in the media, creating an unhealthy perception of their sexuality.…
