What are the dangers of over exploiting our sexuality as a woman?

I personally feel that it is incredibly important for all women to embrace their sexuality and power as sadly as a gender I feel we have at times felt suppressed or limited by society (especially those from very conservative,controlled or religious upbringings) to feel the sense of freedom and awakening that comes from stepping into and embracing your feminine power.

To feel empowered and in charge of your own destiny is wonderful and as a woman this is one of the many reasons that I not only practice Tantra but also embrace it within my own life.

However,r I feel there is a fine line between empowering and embracing ourselves as women and our sexuality and deliberately exploiting ourselves sexually for attention or using solely our bodies as a way to earn money,

Unfortunately over exploitation of women by either themselves or society is hugely damaging in so many ways.Money can often lure and seduce particularly young and impressionable young women into over exposing or sexualising themselves online, it may bring them the short term attention and money that they crave and desire , but the long term affects will be very damaging which is not something I feel they always consider.

There is no control where pictures and videos will end up or with whom , it could be a sexual predator, potential partner or even a potential employer all of which could be potentially disastrous for different reasons. It is also no wonder that men can feel confused because for years we have battled for women's rights and respect to be recognised for our intelligence and not just seen as sexual objects and yet here we are as a society some of us ignorant, blissfully unaware or painfully aware of future implications not just for the next generation but for the message as women we are sending out to not only our own children but society as a whole as to how we wish to be viewed and therefore treated.

Our bodies may attract attention for pleasure in the short term , but it is our hearts and minds that create and command respect in the long-term and this is the most precious commodity as women that we own.
