Thin equals sexy cultural conditioning

The idealized sexual image of thin woman is a cultural construction.

When we talk cultural we talk moral and judgments too. The néocortexte is the cultural brain. The neocortex is responsible for the establishment of the standards (norms), of the scale of value and of the moral code. The neocortex is responsible for the establishment, in our society, of the rituals and rites of passage. With the neocortex the society adopts the customs and beliefs.

All societies seeking to regulate the sex drive and the need for closer social / sexual.

Thin equals sexy is not just a manner of aesthetics. This implies an attempt to moralize the women sexuality.

The feminine curves provoke a strong reaction of the reptilian brain that drive men to lust. They strongly stimulates the libido. This turmoil inside, these emotions is disturbing. Is it normal? We must explain it rationally. Is it a evil call, a devil temptation, are women  possessed by the devil, or more precisely their curves are ?

The woman curves is something shameful, it's shocking, displaced, indecent, scandalous, vulgar and disturbing. Women must avoid to appear in public with their curves, they have two choices : to hide or lose weight.

Our modern culture is trying to lessen the effect of the feminine curves on men, it set the standard thin equals sexy, a scale of value where the thin women are considered more beautiful and a moral code in where virtuous women are thin and healthy.

The discovery of pornography is used as a rite of passage for young men it impose the belief thinness equals sexy to them.

The acceptable cultural fantasm thin equals sexy is opposing itself to the innate fantasm fat, chubby, plump equal sexy.
