“To show the telltale signs of motherhood through the lens of what is sexy is still so rare, on screen, as to be a talking point,” says one Vogue writer on Netflix's post-baby-body positive ‘Sex/Life’
that set my group chat alight. Actually there are lots of scenes insetting my group chat alight, but—as my friends and I made our way through the second season of the ridiculously steamy Netflix show which spotlights female desire—one of us posted, with euphoria of a different kind, about a kitchen moment in Episode 2.
My friend messaged on WhatsApp: “This woman is ‘of an age’ and her body is obviously one that has had children and she is not perfect but still full on naked and stunning with these amazing flaws.” We’re all in our 30s or 40s and we’ve all had kids.“Totes agree,” said another. “I loved this too,” chimed a third.
Shahi tells me over the phone, from LA: “With aging comes embracing who you are and what you look like, particularly those reminders of motherhood. For years after I had my twins I didn’t appreciate those parts of myself and tried to hide them. It’s been a long journey to loving my body.” Her natural post-baby boobs were the talk of the group chat too. Shahi knows that baring them in sex scenes marks another departure from Hollywood’s idea of sexy : “I don’t want to just see perfect, perky tits,” she says. “It was important to show natural, relatable boobs.”
