\"tabou-sexe-feminin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Be happy, this article contains vulvas!<\/h2>\n

At the start of the 2017 school year, the clitoris is finally depicted<\/a> in full, but only in one French SVT textbook, that published by Magnard<\/a>. We can applaud the news, but deplore the fact that we had to wait until 2017 to depict this organ of female pleasure<\/strong> that looks like a wishbone - you know, that chicken bone that you break in pairs with your little finger and that's supposed to bring good luck. In fact, it's because of its resemblance to the female crotch (or rather, to the clitoris, now that's out in the open) that this volatile bone has been attributed properties linked to fertility and life since ancient times. While the Etruscans used the wishbone to read oracles and make wishes, we can now wish the clitoris good fortune, and may glory finally take precedence over shame.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because it's worth pointing out that in 2017, according to a study conducted in February<\/a>, 1 in 5 French women still don't know where their clitoris is located. Whose fault is that? First to the religious, then to Freud, and a widespread oversight in medicine and society.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From beardless art to Freud's omerta, via the blue rules of period protection ads and the soaring number of labioplasties, the female sex is a source of shame, mainly because it has been hidden so much, on purpose. But since 2017 it finally seems to be emerging from the shadows and gradually breaking taboos.<\/h3>\n

Let's take a step back in time to understand the non-linear evolution of the representation of this organ and how it has been forgotten, starting with this fresh extract, which brings together young people's reactions to a 3D clitoris:<\/p>\n
