Society is a major factor, obviously, but in the end it is us.<br /><br />And you can't help being so sexy all the time. :P<br /><br />I don't believe that women hold the upperhand when it comes to sex. I see how that view is placed, as we're "withholding" sex and making men jump through hoops, but that cycles back to how we are taught to behave, and those behaviors are the same (or lead to the same) sexual crippling I spoke of.<br /><br />Angela,<br /><br />Exactly. God, does that blow, feeling like you've been taken as a chump. It's the lowest of the low when it comes to being hurt.<br /><br />Aldonza,<br /><br />Well said, very well said.<br /><br />Dan,<br /><br />I'm curious as to how the lifestylists and those of other sexual orientations argue this point. <br /><br />And, really, we cripple both sexes in different ways. I can hop on both sides of the fence on this one, how messed up things feel to me, and the damage we do to each other and our own sexuality in pursuing morality and social approval.<br /><br />A sexual Cold War? Ooh, you should write a novel on that. That'd be freaking great.Poetry of Fleshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00871932715491205605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186930289760870447.post-1885659505722344112010-02-05T09:49:28.260-08:002010-02-05T09:49:28.260-08:00"Half of the world's population is at a p..."Half of the world's population is at a purposeful disadvantage. Half of us are raised to be weak, to be easily taken advantage of. We are mocked, we are scorned, when we step outside of that weakness, when we reclaim our sex."<br /><br />Oddly enough, this is a statement that I've heard members of both genders (as well as other sexual orientations/lifestylists) claim as their own.<br /><br />Leads me to believe that there is something else going on here.<br /><br />If people are looking for a sexual Cold War, they'll find it, but there are other things out there.Dan_Brodribbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026291343082142533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186930289760870447.post-65220163212867391972010-02-05T09:03:57.209-08:002010-02-05T09:03:57.209-08:00People always seem angriest when they know that it...People always seem angriest when they know that it's themselves they have to be angry with.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445558988316054957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186930289760870447.post-50276638768177022192010-02-05T05:58:18.588-08:002010-02-05T05:58:18.588-08:00I recommend Kegel exercises.I recommend Kegel exercises.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186930289760870447.post-57473254627871018412010-02-05T05:17:45.650-08:002010-02-05T05:17:45.650-08:00I would have reacted in a similar manner - I know,...I would have reacted in a similar manner - I know, because I've done it (although I wasn't picked up for a one-night stand...

She may not have been sexually experienced but certainly old enough to know better than that. Does she still need someone to remind her to look both ways when crossing the road? As for the pick up artist, this is a thing I have never really understood. I have never had much trouble attracting women so it seems a little bizarre to me that someone would make so much effort and put so much thought into seducing a woman only to add her as a notch in your bedpost. As far as I am concerned there are two types of relationships, the serious ones, (in my case less than a dozen) and the transitory ones, (I couldn't even remember most of these but certainly over three hundred). Like women, all men are different and some guys are happy to stay with the same girl they dated in high school while others remain incorrigible well into their dotage. In my experience, so were not talking about forced sex here, women almost always hold the upper hand in sex as they are aware that most men are always horny for what they have. At the end of the day they are the ones who get to pick and choose. It may be different in games of the heart, but you cant blame men if women attach to much significance to a transitory relationship.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388697157749171410noreply@blogger.com
