Why would their sexual value be seen as dropping? IP: Logged |

B/c ***** has a market value in terms of reltionships. I despise being so crude, it is however, how that works. It reminds me of the great line in Bull Durham: "He's getting married to her and she has been down on half the Carolina league" "Yeah, we are not going to say anything about that...."

That seems like a cultural or personal line of thinking to me. I don't experience that so much with the people I know and the city I live in. (Well, that I lived in for 15 years anyway. We now live in a small town about 30 minutes away, so I suppose it might be different here, dunno.)Also, that film was made in 1988. The times they are a changin', brother. At least where I live.

And what if the guy has f*cked the entire cheerleading squad? Must be a lucky girl I guess... Not to get too preachy but in indigenous societies ***** had no market value in relationships or otherwise. I don't think it's fundamental human nature IP: Logged |

Nope, I'd just think he is an ******* who is good with women. This is one of the reasons why women rarely speak openly about their sexual resume IP: Logged |

Exactly in that line of thinking promiscuity is something for men to brag about ("good with women") and for women to be ashamed of and therefore hide...But as Violets said times are changing and it's getting old imo

I am going to unveil the reason there is a sexual double standard and most of you probably aren't going to like it. But this is the way it is from the perspective of a man. The reason men who are highly sexed are viewed highly is because sex actually takes effort on the part of a man. Men admire other men who have sex with attractive women and women desire men who are highly sexed , so this phenomenon is reinforced by both genders. On the other end getting sex is as easy for breathing for 99% of women, even women who are viewed as unattractive by most men. Highly sexed women don't impress men because we know and understand that sex is extremely easy for them (perhaps this is where the term easy comes from). Other women aren't impressed either because of the same reasons and they also see such women as fools who are putting themselves at risk for unwanted pregnancies and stds. In the grand scheme of things a highly sexed man has everything to gain and a highly sexed woman has nothing to gain. Unfair ? Probably, but that's just the way life is. IP: Logged |

Ok Well clearly Padre you have a very particular take on the world. I think you'll find it is not shared by a majority of people in the Western world, but there are conservative cultural groups who would very much agree with you.I don't have much left to say to you, because from my personal perspective as a woman - your take on things is so bogus, I don't even feel like there a point in arguing. Like Violet - I have not encountered this where I live - in urban Australia. And to say that this is human nature is ..... I honest to God don't even know what to call that. It's so beyond idiotic OMG I am stumped. LoL @ spare women from going too far. Where in the world have you been for the past 3 decades? Did you travel into the future to get here... or was this supposed to be a bad, poorly timed joke? Reading your posts - I feel like any minute now someone will jump up and say "you've been punk'd". You simply cannot possibly be this delusional. IP: Logged |

Think about it this way too.. Even women who are virgins typically want a sexually experienced man or they are apathetic about his sexual past. Its a phenomenon known as hypergamy .. Basically women typically want the highest status man they can get and fight over them and hold out until they can get them. Where men don't really give a crap about all that stuff as long as we are getting a piece of the pie so to speak.IP: Logged |

AG are you mental? It has already changed clearly.Read a history book. We're not in the Victorian era - are we? And it is continuing to change. I thought you were more than aware of the fact that women have a lot of sexual freedom nowadays. You are the one who always points this out. Have you lost the plot? Maybe it's because you're not feeling well or you are confused about what Padre is saying (which actually you don't agree with, considering your previous posts on LL). I mean you even said a woman grabbed your genitals at a party. If this happened in a repressive culture like some of the Middle Eastern cultures she'd be put to death - and so would you - for even looking at her. So of course things have changed! AG I'm not sure what is up with you but please re-read Padres posts and really think twice before you start jumping on bandwagons. I don't think this is something I can simply forget and interact with you normally on LL. IP: Logged |

Perhaps the discretion of those old times is what we need Odette. Isn't a moral society based on family values something to strive for? IP: Logged |

So Implicitly you just agreed again that the world is changing and women, according to you have gone wild - as you keep telling us on LL.So you disagree with Padre about the current state of the world because you don't agree that women are looked down upon for being sexual. Actually you think women are too sexual now and our society should be more "conservative" - as it used to be. This is completely different to what Padre is saying - just pointing that out.

But if one can self-market in this way and make so much money then clearly society does not praise virginity so much. In the Middle East where they try do put much value on virginity - a woman would not get a paycheck for doing what Miley did. She would get shot.IP: Logged |

It's not that they aren't looked down on for being too sexual, they are. But.... It's more underground now... It's politically incorrect to criticize women in the English speaking countries now. I don't know what the situation is like in Europe. IP: Logged |
