"Is it a chicken wing?" "No miss, it's a clitoris. At the Pavillon des Canaux, in Paris (19th arrondissement), customers enjoy brunches in front of ... a man in his underwear. The reason? Claire Vimont exhibits her “Sexploration” games, educational programs on sexuality, on the walls of the establishment decorated with a dollhouse until February 23.
Exit the white, threadlike women, the models have shapes and hairs on their legs (like us what). “This is how we avoid discrimination. I illustrated a wide variety of physics that come close to reality, ”insists the 23-year-old woman in front of her colorful drawings. Far from the image we have of sex. "We have to stop making it bothersome." This generates ignorance. There is no embarrassment here. The breasts, buttocks and private parts show off proudly. In curves, imperfect and fleshy.
An idea that germinated after an observation. Men who refuse to wear a condom, girls who think they are protecting themselves with the technique of following the rules ... that annoys him. The click occurs with his little cousin. “She is 18, takes the pill but does not know what a uterus is. "
Talking about all sexualities without tweezers
So a graphic design student, Claire decides to work on this project. Obviously sexy: she wins a 20/20. The young woman contacts a publishing company to market it. And launch five games: on consent, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. With a goal, to talk about all sexualities without tweezers. “We all had the clinical and creepy SVT course which is useless. Again this week, I taught three people what an intersex person is. What is it? “Those who do not correspond to the typical standards of man and woman. "

"It's a small square that covers the vagina to protect against communicable diseases during cunnilingus," she translates, followed by a "gloups" from a nearby table. "Serious? Chokes a boy who has come with his girlfriend.
We change rooms. Where piles up pell-mell on a table of cards that hide their game well. A kind of "Taboo" revisited. The rule: guess without using the words. Example with "Blowjob". Prohibition to use the terms "penis", "buccal", "oral", "suck" and "mouth". "A game from 12 to 99 years old," smiles Claire. This promises a few spicy evenings with grandma.
