Redefining Intimacy in the Age of Social Media | Dr. Chitra Singh | TEDxSVC
In a world where what we see online often shapes how we feel, Dr. Chitra encourages us to look beyond the distorted images of love and intimacy that social media and pornography feed us. She talks about how social media sets unrealistic standards that leave many feeling not good enough, and how pornography gives a false picture of sex—one that lacks real emotion and honest connection.Dr. Chitra highlights the need for real, open conversations about sex and relationships. She believes schools and colleges should teach age-appropriate sex education, and that parents should feel comfortable talking with their kids about consent, queer identities, and the realities of teenage pregnancy. She invites us all to pause and reflect before making decisions about our bodies and relationships.Her message is simple but powerful: love isn’t about dramatic gestures or what we see online. It’s about being authentic, respectful, and understanding. By breaking down taboos and encouraging honest talks, she urges us to build a healthier, more genuine connections in a world where misinformation is everywhere. A dedicated MBBS doctor and a passionate advocate for women’s health, Dr. Chitra Singh uses social media to simplify and normalize conversations about periods, girl talk and sexual health in layman’s terms.
With her mission to break taboos and spread awareness, she empowers countless individuals with knowledge that should never be whispered but openly discussed.
