SEXUAL LIBERATION IN AUSTRALIAN WOMEN

Are we a society immersed in sexual imagery? 

There are some academics that see that the culture of pornography can be linked to the sexual liberation in women of Western Societies. 

In the words of Freud some 100 years ago, he described libido as being of a masculine nature, “whether it occurs in men or in women and irrespective of whether the object is a man or a woman.”

In the 1999 Roy Morgan survey, about 5 million Australians use some form of sexually explicit material, and according to the 2001 Australian Study of Sex, Health and Relationships, it is more likely for younger women to use it than older women.  These younger women are also more likely to disagree with statements made about today’s films being too sexually explicit.

Indicated by these surveys, it would seem that the younger generation are much more comfortable with aspects of sexuality, like visual, verbal, and of course the act of sex itself,  than their older counterparts.

MUSIC A PERFECT FIT FOR TODAY’S MODERN YOUTH

Nordic Folkie Frida Hyvonen’s naughty reputation remains steadfast with the release of her latest sophomore album ‘Silence is Wild’.  Her unorthodox style is a passionate celebration that sings the truth. “Honesty in music is really important to me…and comedy.”

Imagine standing up in front of an audience and declaring your closest sex secrets in a comic sing-a-long.    

Now, you’ve got the idea…

Her fantastical way with words fits perfectly with modern pop/rock culture.  In her song ‘Pony’ she professes, “The stable is where you learn to be in charge and not take shit!” On another track, ‘December’, we tune into the sensitive sexual issue of abortion.

Spit out your gum, there is no bubblegum pop/rock here.

This woman’s influential music provides a commentary of what is happening with modern youth.

Indispensible.
