Let's talk about SEX: Intro

Why are so many hot girls prudes?

That is a weighty question, my friend.

Female sexuality is a highly complex and personal issue with many factors - religious upbringing, parental role models, childhood experiences, past relationships, etc. - impacting where, when, how, and why a woman will or will not have sex. But this blog isn't about specificity; it's about broad generalizations [get it? BROAD?] that help 70% of the time. So let's dig in.

We live in a strange era. The sexual revolution was supposed to give women equal rights to men, with birth control and abortion leading the charge by allowing us sexual freedom through the removal of the threat of pregnancy destroying our single lives. Unfortunately, it had the side effect of making more acceptable the once-frowned-upon direct marketing of female sexuality. The long tradition of exploiting women as sex objects mingled with the removal of the need for euphemisms and veils, and women's new-found freedom to express their sexuality, culminating in an ultra-sad afterbirth of the feminist movement - the growing number and acceptance of women sexually exploiting themselves for profit. The whoring-yourself-without-actually-whoring gave birth to a predictable conservative backlash at the same time that it was confusing a new generation of women who who seem to think that dry-humping a Buick while being doused in Champagne is somehow expressing their sexuality like a man.

The commercialization of explicit sexuality [I say explicit because sex has always been a marketing tool], specifically by women selling themselves, has muddied the waters and created a kind of polemic amid females in their teens through thirties. There are many of us hanging out in the middle ground - selective in regards to who we allow to touch us, but not particularly susceptible to Bible-thumpers warning that no man will want to go where others have already trekked. Sadly, however, an astonishing number of women out there think that visible thongs, dancing on table tops, and blowing guys in bathroom stalls is empowering, and an equally staggering number, born out of a growing conservativism that sprung up in opposition to an increasingly over-sexualized society, who repress themselves. the one thing these two extremes have in common: they both use their sexuality as currency.

In order to get a girl to go home with you from a bar, you need more than shots of Yager [Not an endorsement of GHB], you need to know which women to look for, which means you need to learn a little more about what sex means to a woman. Lady and gentleman, I believe we've just stumbled upon this week's topic...let's get it on.
