Probably because our society is saturated with unhealthy messages about sex and romance, and parents allow this crap to pump unfettered and unexamined into their childrens' brains. Kids are taught too late, if at all, critical thinking skills in regards to the media and/or never practice the discipline it takes to not be mindlessly entertained by garbage or distinguish fiction from reality.
Additionally, religion is playing an ever decreasing role in our society. As countries become more secularized and humanistic, they become more hedonistic and amoral.
Our society is also more hostile to families than ever. When both parents incomes are required to maintain the standard of living, that used to be manageable by one income, there's a problem.
Without this strong family support base, previously found in tight knit families on the farm, children are now left with poor self-esteem based on peer acceptance.

This is a great question. From the language used, it sounds like you think that's a bad thing. That's fine, depending on your point of view, which I'll tell you now, is different from mine. My deal is, I don't judge anyone. People can do whatever the hell they want--I really don't care. For examples, someone can go out and have a threesome or an orgy--it's not my style at all, and I would never do those things, but if others want to do it, more power to them--who are we to judge/decide what's right or wrong??
Anyway, to answer your question, I think having a friend with benefits is fine depending on the situation. Some women's sex drives are higher than others. I think that ideally, all women would want to make love to a boyfriend, or someone special. However, there are many times in a woman's life when she may not have anyone like that. If she gets horny, why shouldn't she have sex with a guy who she trusts that will give her pleasure? If she knows that this guy is cool and can satisfy her and respect her at the same time, why not? There are plenty of people that a woman can have an amazing physical connection with, but not an emotional connection. This doesn't mean that she has a low self esteem. This simply means that she is horny and wants to get off, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Now, the flipside of the coin is, if a woman is having a lot of random one-night stands to validate herself, or is having sex because she feels like something is missing in her life, that's not exactly a great situation. This doesn't mean she's a sl*t--it just means she is filling a void in her life with sex, which is something unhealthy. "Sl*t" is just a shitty, disresptful term coined by some asshole who wasn't getting any. Anyway, both these situations are times when she may want to reconsider why she is having casual sex. Also, a woman can grow attached with sex, and that's even worse, because usually in a casual sex situation, a man can distance himself emotionally, and this usually ends up hurting the girl.
Hope this helps.

I do not know why, but what about the seemingly experienced older girls who allow guys to screw them and use the term friends or a booty call

Because they don't value themselves highly enough, and because they think that's a good way to get a boy to like them.
