The reign of contradictions
It is as if the normalization of pornographic nudity - far beyond the stage of X - which breaks up, makeup and robs the body of his animal dimension (plucked actors, silicone, tattooed ...), had paradoxically made nudity more transgressive nature.

It will be understood, there are many ways of being naked. The sociologist distinguishes three others: functional nudity (I undress to shower), nakedness as humiliation (that of prisoner of war) and finally nudity as a gift (eroticism, sexuality). It is the latter that is at the heart of all social and intimate issues. There are still a few decades before the 1970s, the body was not visible in society, and nudity strictly for privacy, hence its strong sexual charge. Today, breast gushing out of the neckline of an actress or close-ups of people who have forgotten their underwear are giggle or sigh the most jaded. The nude scenes in movies are innumerable ...

"There's a real malaise produced by the gap between the artificial and the real nudity nudity. Especially among women, although the criticism not spare the men. According to the therapist, even if the body complex and fear of facing the other on his body not directly motivate the consultation in sexology, they are very often mentioned. "This confrontational relationship with her body image has a direct impact on the sexual relationship, the desire and pleasure, adds Sylvain Mimoun.

A wellness that returns to the first physical and emotional sensations. And whose imprint is hardy enough to act as a barrier to the ambient pressure. "In our culture, nudity is reduced to image, to appearances, deplores Isabelle TEMPERVILLE, Gestalt therapist and assistant director of the Paris School of Gestalt. Now this is another way to meet his environment, giving and receiving. It's more that the image and the look is essentially an experience that invites our senses. "According to the therapist, how to live nudity depends on how one considers his body:" Either I have a separate body of me, I use without necessarily living, in this case, my relationship with it's narcissistic or utilitarian. Either I am this body, I live, I feel a whole. This does not necessarily mean that I like, but I feel for him a kind of quiet benevolence. "

We must not forget that a complicated nudity, painful, shameful may refer to physical or psychological abuse. The disease, a speech blaming the body and sexuality may also leave wounds that a professional can help to heal. "The therapist is certain live well his nakedness makes us stronger. This helps us to develop more sensory way, and more embodied in accepting our uniqueness. This inevitably makes us more responsive and more tolerant than the other.
The era of bare false
