I woke up Friday morning and didn’t even finish thanking Jesus, before I purchased Beyonce’s latest project, her self-titled visual album “Beyonce.” The 32-year-old outdid herself and not only gave fans 14 brand new songs, but 17 videos to accompany them. King Bey truly proved why she’s deserving of the crown.But after a few listens, fans heard a new Beyonce– a sexier Beyonce, a Beyonce who asked the driver to roll up the partition so he wouldn’t see her please her husband, kind of Beyonce. This accompanied with close-up shots of her and Jay Z in the back seat with him rubbing her thighs and peeking at her breast made her lyrics all too real.
However, some people do not seem to like the new beyonce saying:
" It’s too late. She should’ve been this way before the baby. She’s going with the trend right now but it’s just too late".
“It’s just too late?” Those four words left me wondering, To say that Beyonce’s new sexual demeanor is too late to be on display lends itself to the belief there’s a timetable with which a woman is allowed to be sexual, and the sexual deadline is motherhood.
The issue at hand isn’t her sexiness, it’s that Beyonce’s yielding her sexual prowess on her own terms. Society feels better when a man expresses his sexual desire and conquests. When a rapper brags about “beating it up,” we praise him, and even dance along if the beat is right. But when Beyonce, a married woman, performs a striptease for her husband, sings about pleasing her husband and the four-play that took place in the foyer with (wait for it) her husband, sweet Jesus it’s a fire!
Maybe after giving birth, Beyonce felt a bigger sense of accomplishment and pride in her body than ever before? She’s 32, so maybe she’s hitting her stride, becoming more comfortable with her body and herself, or dammit, maybe she’s having good sex, in which I then say, “look at gawd!”
Listen, there will be some women who agree and think Beyonce’s new attitude isn’t appropriate for a mom. But I don’t want anyone telling me when I need to send my sexy off to the graveyard to go and die, especially when I’m just getting started. Yes Beyonce, you embrace your sexy because I have. What do you think? Does being a a Mom hinder your sexiness especially to your husband? Hello?
