Do you think guys have double standards when it comes to sex?

Asked by higherground (1148points) February 12th, 2010

I was just wondering – somehow , there seems to be a stricter standard imposed onto women when it comes to sex.

Why do I say so ?

Firstly, it seems that if a guy has had numerous sexual partners, he is usually envied by most of his peers. But if a girl has had numerous sexual partners, she will be labeled as promiscuous or (insert a word that goes along the same line as a slut.)

And to add on…

If a guy brings a girl out on a first date – from making the lady feel good about herself to the little sweet gestures , all of it are (probably) aimed at getting her into bed.

Yet, if the girl agrees to go to bed with him on a first date, he will think that she is a slut for doing so.

Does it mean that we all should just resist and not give in, and play hard to get? Well, I am not too sure about that. I have female friends who had boyfriends ditching them because the girls are not ‘open-minded’ enough.

It doesn’t matter to me at this moment—I am happily attached! But-but-but! I am just curious about the rules to this game. Guys (and girls too!), please enlighten me on this!

1) When will it be appropriate to get sexually intimate? (Based on how many dates? Or weeks? Or months? Or years?) And why?

2) If a woman agrees to get sexually intimate on the first date, what do you think?

3) If a woman doesn’t get sexually intimate with you, how long can she keep you interested in her for?
