It’s amazing how men are applauded for every women they sleep with but women are shamed for one

I’m not blaming men, I’m blaming society. So men…please do not get defensive in the comments

I dont think men are applauded by women for that. They are applauded by other men perhaps, if at all. (I would not applaud even my best friend for that)

Similarly women are shamed usually by men. I do not know what other women feel about it.

Statistically there should be as many women with multiple bed partners as men as it takes two to tango. And that wouldnt happen if one is victimised and the other incentivised.

To be fair, it does not matter who sleeps with how many. Just live life at your own terms 😀😇

I try to stick with a non judgmental attitude towards everyone unless they are truly harming others. Ladies should be treated totally equally socially and if they enjoy sex with multiple partners and more variety that’s totally normal. Sexual repression is a big part of the misogynistic toolbox.

I do not believe that's the case - women seem to talk about their 'body count' like a badge of honour in social circles. I guess guys might too, but I don't have friends or socialise so I don't see/hear any of that kind of banter.
So men…please do not get defensive
Actually, this post has a "defensive" tone about it.

Anyway, I know the deep psychological reason that women are shamed, but I won't post it here. It is so true that people are likely to go bonkers, and I'm really not in the mood for an imminent mob of deniers today.

Its always been that way hasn't it ! A great man is a great lover, but a great woman is chaste. Its not fair on most poeple but sex is a competitive market - and I think logically that is driven by genetics as in all other animals, The competiton for mating is part of whatseems to drive "survival of the fittest: and so we end up with rediculously shaped animals in which 1 sex or the other has huge display features to their anatomy. So male peacocks have ridiculous feathers, bonobos have big bums and their nearest relatives humans, well I've read that apparantly thats why women have big breast and men love them - as theres no fetility or nurtuing benefit ? However I know that in ll chimps, the ladies have their secret lovers on the side, and I suspect that's true for human society as well, seeing as most of my lovers have been secret... So men show off their trophies and dare other women to try _ think of Don Juan/Don Giovani - and women try to be discrete - and those you hear about are the highly prominent ones like Pricess Anne and Princess Diana wh's indiscretions sell papers. Statistically ignoring homosexual activity, there should be as many male affars as female affairs but I think the number of genetically succesful males with multiple notches on their bed post is far fewer than the number of females beacuse men are more promiscuous by nature and women are more picky so the rest of us dont tend to get much of a look in LOL.

It's because the idea of men and women are ideally considered to have one partner. Even though men sleep around they are shamed but they don't think what society has to say. On other hand. If you have female friends they can applaud too. Don't need to show the world about random hook ups.

Which is why I roll my eyes at society and just do what I want.

@Mandyheart98 Good for you , life to short to worry what others think ,,
Mandyheart98 · 26-30, F
@oldercanuck1 yeah it's bullshit when we all enjoy sex.
oldercanuck1 · 70-79, M
@Mandyheart98 to the limit and as often as possible ,,,,,

I agree. My wife would be very upset if her friends knew about her sexual history, but some of my male friends brag about theirs.
Adogslife · 61-69, M
That’s exactly the double standard I grew up with.

Honestly, I think it’s considerably better now. Women are more apt to speak openly about enjoying sex. They have nudes on their phones. People are open about watching porn. The double standard is waning.
Strictmichael75 · 61-69, M
I agree entirely with you!!
Do what you want and with who you want!
Enjoy 😉

Really? I think it’s about equal, or not gender biased, and more to do with one’s place on the totem pole.

Like JFK could have slept with yet another 500 women and not suffer an ounce of public shame, but poor Clarence Thomas couldn’t get away with just mentioning the words “pubic hair”.
Panamared · 70-79, M
Totally agree
luckranger71 · 51-55, M
No eye rolls. You’re 100% right.
Disguised · 56-60, M
Really unfair.... But I think things are changing
I think most people aren’t interested in who’s sleeping with whom I know I’m not
SWfan · 41-45, M
@BiasForAction that makes two of us.
Morvoren · F
That depends on where you live and who your friends are.
Fawma123 · 46-50, M
Does that still happen I'm not so sure
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
I've always wandered at that... Society is weird
Dirtyboyy67 · 56-60, M
It’s not that way,
Peter85 · 36-40, MNew
So u should be
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
I dont think anyone should be applauded for that because its kinda gross to be sleeping around with a bunch of random people

Makes me vomit how some guys entered the pub starting off with "just banged my gf and would've been here earlier if we didn't lose the condom in her womb" 😖
carpediem · 61-69, M
So...... what's your body count? Inquiring minds want to know 🧐

Don't blame society. Blame women for judging each other the way they do.
BigGuy2 · 31-35, M
Totally agree
HobNoblin · 36-40, M
Selfish genes a man wants to know that his children are actually his. Obviously reproduction is about spreading your genes. A virgin woman would be prized for this reason. Not consciously prized but instinctually as an evolved trait. Men are flying blind , they've got no way to tell, women know their children are theirs no matter what. The whole thing is actually vile and has nothing to do with love. More like a bunch of amoebas spreading on in a giant petri dish.
