How patriarchy has suppressed women's sexual voice - and why this is changing today
Sexuality has long been male-dominated
For centuries, sexuality was viewed almost exclusively from a male perspective. What the man wanted was considered normal. What the woman felt or needed was not asked – or even dismissed as unimportant. This way of thinking has left deep scars.
The so-called patriarchy – i.e. a social structure in which men are in charge – has also had a massive impact on women’s sexual development. And not always for the better.
Women were not allowed to talk about their lust
In the past, it was considered unseemly for a woman to talk about sexuality. Even worse: if she expressed her own desires. Anyone who talked about arousal, lust or even dissatisfaction was often condemned.
A typical prejudice:
- “A decent woman doesn't think about sex - and certainly not about penis sizes.”
Penis size was an absolute taboo subject for women
For a long time, it was virtually “forbidden” for a woman to comment on the size of her partner’s penis. Anyone who dared to do so was quickly considered a “light girl” – or was labeled as demanding, unfaithful or even “sloppy”.
In concrete terms, this meant
- Women had to remain silent, even if they were dissatisfied
- Many suffered inwardly - without ever being allowed to talk about it
- Men did not receive honest feedback and were therefore hardly able to develop further
Today, openness is a sign of strength
Fortunately, a lot has changed. Thanks to emancipation, sex education and more equal rights, women are finally allowed to say what they feel – and what they lack. Even when it comes to sex.
If a woman today speaks openly about dissatisfaction with her penis size, this is not a sign of superficiality. It’s a sign of honesty, confidence and self-respect.
Important:
- Openness creates closeness
- Honest communication improves the relationship
- Sexual desires are just as legitimate as emotional needs
Conclusion: Silence is a thing of the past - today, pleasure can be open
Patriarchy has long deprived women of their sexual voice. But those days are over. Today, women are allowed to openly say what they like – and what they don’t like. Even when it comes to penis size.
Sexual fulfillment is a common goal. And that starts with the courage to be honest.
