Despite the great health risks to be taken by resorting to invasive surgical procedures, the human body is subjected to so-called refinements to reach the height of what may be required in terms of aesthetic appearance in line with our era. It seems to me that this phenomenon has turned the search for beauty into a trivial mission, because everything is possible. The real has become unreal as one forces the other to look like a fantasy only to end up feeling duped when the fantasy becomes a fabricated reality and therefore accessible.

The unreal becoming a reality sought after and then disliked, we are witnessing in certain circles a relationship to sexuality that suffers the consequences of this mechanism. However, it is important not to generalize from issues in specific contexts to draw a crude connection between our modern communications in the age of social media and a breakdown in healthy sexuality. This would only create the opportunity to intellectualize a new non-existent « dramatic » human condition and to juggle concepts unnecessarily. Sexuality has not become unhealthy with modernity; it has adapted both in its healthy expression and in its deviant forms.
