In exploring my sexuality, I came across the pure sexualization of the word “erotic”. Audre Lorde wrote about the power of eroticism. We live in an anti-erotic society that expects only women to be erotic, in a sexual way and only in the bedroom. However, she will be seen as dirty for being passionate about sex.
Eroticism can be shown in many different ways outside of the bedroom. Being erotic is being passionate. It is feeling deeply while doing. Men are not supposed to feel deeply, therefore they are not seen as erotic. It is also a term that shows submissiveness. I should not be seen as erotic because I am mixed race, but I should be seen as erotic in working with my passions. It’s not something I’m ashamed of, having to do with sex or not. Eroticism is something that is found and should be respected in everybody. Being afraid and staying silent about your eroticisms will fuel the deformation of our society. Being silent will only shoot us in the foot. Being ashamed of sexuality will teach our children that it is wrong to be sexual. We are teaching the wrong definition of erotic. We are teaching them not to feel deeply, not to be passionate, not to be erotic. We teach people to detach feelings from actions, therefore people are ashamed of being erotic and are ashamed of their desires.
