'The term insinuates that when a woman displays her body, she’s trapping male viewers, coercing them to experience lust and sexual frustration. Therefore, it’s her fault if her photo provokes a feeling of sexual deprivation.'
of “thirst traps” of any city in the U.S.—specifically, 36 out of 1,000 photos they publish to Instagram.First, it’s strange to see the words “thirst trap” in a scientific context. Second, it makes me laugh to imagine how these “scientists” went about determining which of the photos were “thirst traps”—was it based on their own arousal in response to them? Doesn’t sound very, umm … scientific.
And here’s the thing—the term “thirst trap” is a direct extension of this logic. It suggests that a woman’s body is not just a body. It’s not neutral. No, it’s a sexual object that is inherently provocative to men, regardless of whether the woman intends to sexualize herself or not.The term “thirst trap” is a great example of how rape culture can be perpetuated through seemingly innocent language.
But in reality, it’s simply inaccurate to assume that any woman will “thirst” after a male thirst trap and that any man will “thirst” after a female thirst trap. What looks banal to one person might qualify as a “thirst trap” to someone else, and what’s sexually titillating to some people might bore—or even repulse—others.This is the most insidious aspect in my opinion, because it’s at the root of all the other issues.
