'The Sex Lives Of College Girls' And The Complexity Of Empowerment For Young Women
Huff PostReneé Rapp, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Pauline Chalamet and Amrit Kaur in "The Sex Lives of College Girls." That is the challenge at the center of “The Sex Lives of College Girls,” the titillatingly named HBO Max series that portrays a more complex reality: Many young women today might be more comfortable expressing their sexual desires but still grapple with what they even mean. “So much of my experience was not really knowing anything about sex, being sexualized, being very ashamed of trying to explore sex for fear of it being public information.” It’s not until college, Scott expounds, when many women of color even give themselves the permission to explore sex on their own terms. That’s where we find Bela on “College Girls,” an Indian American woman who can’t wait for her parents to say goodbye on move-in day so she can hurry up and finally have lots of sex. But she has to do that internal work.” That’s what’s really at the core of “The Sex Lives of College Girls,” which is far less the sexual awakening its title promises.
