The Importance of Sexual Perfectionism
I came up with the term sexual perfectionism to describe this pressure that so many of us put on ourselves to have sex that unfolds perfectly and effortlessly just like we see it in the movies. You really never see any moments of imperfection in the movies, right? But you never see the little things that happen and that can go wrong during sex. So again, it's this internalization effect a lot of us see these scenes so much that we feel like that's what I'm supposed to look like. And if you hold yourself to this idealistic standard, how could you be anything but let down? Absolutely.
