How do women really feel about their vaginas(vulvas)?
A pornified culture says “vaginas” (correct term is “vulvas”), need to look a certain way to not evoke mockery and shame. Whether girls watch porn or not, today they know exactly what their vulvas “should” look like. No surprise it is almost never “porn perfect”.
What happens psychologically when your vulva is something you view with disgust? How does it hurt your self image? Your self esteem? How does it change what intimacy looks like for you?
On today’s episode of 7 On Sundays™ we talk to Teddy. Teddy shares her hatred of her vulva. It holds so much shame. She refuses to undress in front of others despite feeling confident in other areas of her life.
We need to take a collective breath, and see this cultural phenomenon for what it is…incredibly unhealthy and damaging based on cultural and normative lies around body image. And we need to understand it's nefarious origins are in the most unhealthy of places, pornography.
In today, 7onSundays episode, Teddy is trying to take a “second look” at her most hated body part.
