'Sexpo' Is Instagram's Questionable New Workout Trend
'Sexpo' Is Instagram's Questionable New Workout Trend
Like fitspo, but more naked.
By on April 25, 2014
A new form of fitspiration is popping up on social media and, like most social media trends, it is sexy, naked, and potentially problematic.
The hashtag #FitSex is ostensibly motivating Instagrammers to hit the gym to improve their sex lives or use sex as a workout, with cheeky text encouragements typical of the fitspo genre overlaid on images of people doing it: Naked bodies pressed against a shower door; a buff couple hooking up in bed; sex in the middle of dimly lit hallway, with a woman pressed against the wall by a muscular guy.
Some of the #FitSex images seem to celebrate sexual experimentation. Others feel more like body-shaming, implying that sex is best enjoyed by a woman with a certain type of figure. This is where the trend goes sour, especially considering the racy images of ripped women are pretty obviously being aimed at women themselves. Women with sexualized (and thin) bodies have always been a staple of the fitspo genre, so, in some ways, the evolution into "sexpo" feels unavoidable, if disturbing.
So far, though, the trend is small: The hashtag turns up only 147 posts on Instagram. (Searches on Tumblr and Pinterest turn up even fewer results.) But the "likes" are in the thousands.Follow Elisa on Twitter.

Esquire Magazine's Woman of the Year award goes to Emily Ratajkowski
And Esquire's Woman of the Year Is...
At long last, after 5 rounds and 32 impossibly attractive Impossible Choices, the results are in!

After tens of thousands of votes (and not a few links to the video below), the first-ever Esquire.com Woman of the Year award goes to Emily Ratajkowski. A model, actress, and part-time animal husbandrist, the UK-born Ratajkowski had a big weekend. After trailing Jennifer Lawrence by a substantial margin in the early days of voting, Ratajkowski turned the tables and won with 64.6 percent of the vote.
In case you forgot, a reminder of exactly who Emily Ratajkowski is, from her Rag & Bone photoshoot...
And from that video, you know the one...
You probably knew Ratajkowski’s…er, face…long before you knew her name. The year was divided into the two eras of Before and After You Saw the Blurred Lines Video. The experience of watching it, if not profound, is palpably transformative, like tasting your reward after stupidly standing in line all day for a cronut. You remember where you were when you first saw it. It sticks in your mind. The goofy dance moves and inexplicable inclusion of a lamb. Millions downloaded the video, even the PG version. By the end of the summer Ratajkowski owned YouTube in a way Google never could.
Soon her name became common enough to be a valuable play in Scrabble. She was ubiquitous, showing up in magazine spreads and on talk shows. The search for old photos and video footage of her became the new Internet gold rush. And then there were the treats! magazine pictures, which, if you are at all familiar with Ratajkowski’s oeuvre, you’ll know not to visit on your office computer.
Next, she signed on for an ad campaign for the Rag and Bone clothing line. Hollywood has come calling as well — David Fincher tapped her to star as Ben Affleck’s mistress in the upcoming thriller Gone Girl. It’s hard to know what else the future will hold for her, aside from the inevitable calls from Thicke when he completes his 2017 comeback album. For now, let’s just appreciate living in the Year of the Stunning Miss Ratajkowski, and enjoy the coronation.
And here are a few other shots of Emily...
