RE: Loving sex doesn't make you a slut

in #womenspeakout7 years ago

I'd like to point out that the double standard thing is also quite harmful to men. Men are conditioned that they should always want sex, which is terrible. It took a lot of effort for me to realize this, and be able to say no. To understand I need an emotional connection to enjoy sex, and it's ok for me to say no if there isn't one.

Yes, that is absolutely true, which is why I mentioned toxic masculinity. And that double standard is also why men are sometimes intimidated by women who have a more active libido than them. They feel that they should always be hornier than women and that it's a failure if they don't feel like sex one night.
