Themes and motifs

The main themes Noemí Casquet focuses on is sexuality and sex. She explores all the corners of sexuality and through activism and divulgation she tries to break the taboos that society has imposed. She says she wants to help people to liberate and discover themselves without fear or prejudice. And many times also giving information that they have never had the opportunity to learn before because sexuality, and also sex, are like hidden topics which have not been so openly discussed until now.

Casquet often talks about the types of relationships between people, especially non-normative sex-affective relationships. She believes in and defends non-monogamous relationships where there is neither affective nor sexual exclusivity. For her, polyamory is an opportunity, not an obligation, and it is easy to manage as long as there is knowledge on all sides. It is always about communicating, caring and informing.[4]

She considers herself a feminist but she is very critical within the movement because it is not only about cisgender women. The discourse must be inclusive, to take into account all genders, realities and diversities. So in its criticism and dissemination, she holds as a fundamental pillar the gender and the reality of each person.[5]

Another motif she defends is the feminine self-pleasure and the connection of the woman to herself. And she also disseminates information about menstruation and the menstrual cycle. They are two subjects considered taboo and sometimes difficult to find information on, so the aim is to put an end to this society that perpetuates so many clichés.

The sexual anthropology is a subject that fascinates her, especially has an interest in ancestral sexualities. She is based on Tantra and Tao, two ancestral traditions that integrate sexuality as an essential part of the process of human evolution.[5] They share a path of self-knowledge and personal transformation through the body, from the knowledge of the most intimate anatomy. She divulges topics such as the retroejaculation, squirting (or female ejaculation) or multiorgasmia, which although they are seen as something new, were already studied in the 4th century B.C. in these mystical currents. So she bases her discourse on sexuality on these two ancestral sexualities.

Casquet also focuses on travel and sexuality. Every community in every corner of the world has its own traditions, practices, knowledge and experiences of sexuality. She is interested in discovering and enriching each other, that’s why her passion is travelling and getting to know new realities.

Reception and impact

Noemí Casquet has been criticized a lot for talking about sex in a nonconventional way and to include in her divulgation themes which are not usually taken into account in speculation about sex (polyamory, ancestral sexuality, BDSM etc.).[6] The main critic she received is about the fact she is not a sexologist, moreover, she complained often about the prejudice a woman who talks about sex has to suffer and about the attempt to invisible people who investigate these themes.

Her popularity grew up gradually but there were some key moments like the interview in April 2019 at the TV program of Movistar+ La Resistencia in which she was criticized for the lack of taboos.[7] On several occasions, she denounced how some interviews, even if they gave her visibility, did not involve the opportunity to truly talk about the topic she studied because the interviewers are more concerned on reinforcing the prejudice on these themes or making jokes.

One of the main source of visibility for Noemí Casquet was Instagram, nowadays her Instagram account has more than 2 Millions of followers, however, it was really hard for her to archive this: her first account (37.000 followers) was closed without explanation and without the possibility to have it back and she lost not only photos but also the texts she wrote thanks to her investigation; the second account was closed as well even if there were not explicit sexual content. She had to obtain the verification to avoid losing the third one, however, she still has to avoid saying certain words. For these reasons, she has criticized Instagram and, in general, for the censorship around sexual education.[5]
