Thirsty When Wet

Thirsty When Wet created by > falasha.etsy.com explores female sexual desire. In the U.S. and many other countries around the world a woman with a powerful sexual appetite is often treated as taboo in the media and the community. It does not matter if she is 17 or 70, a woman who craves dick, from multiple partners makes many men uncomfortable. Her strong sexual appetite challenges older gender scripts that cast men as active pursuers and women as passive or restrained. Ray Parker Jr. taught us with his hit song in the 80s, “A Woman Needs Love (sex) Just Like You Do.” A woman’s got to have it, just like you!
Although American culture has made many strides, in the media when it comes to female sexuality, women are often portrayed through objectification and “the male gaze.” This narrows female sexuality into something to be looked at rather than owned by the woman herself.


It also makes people uncomfortable because strong female sexual desire can expose double standards: the same assertiveness that reads as normal in men is often coded as “slutty”, THOT (That Ho Over There)’ “stank-ho” or “shameful” in women. Media studies point out that movies and films frequently teach girls to minimize desire and prioritize being desired instead of desiring on their own terms. The internet and social media have disrupted this limited thinking. With social media any female is free to promote her sexuality from any part of the world, with nothing more than a cheap smartphone and an internet connection.
Even so, there’s another layer, too: female desire is sometimes treated as taboo because it is commercially useful. Controversy sells, and the media often leans on shock, objectification, or moral panic to grab attention, even when that flattens real women into stereotypes.
At its core, the on-going sexual taboo exists because female desire is still seen as “politically incorrect.”
