How come guys can be so open about sex..whereas women have to watch it?

Question

I was brought up Catholic and we are pretty strict in that area. But I notice a lot of people are very open.. ideas

Answer 1

I don't think there should be a double standard!

I find it sexy when a woman is open/talks about sex!

Maybe the people that judge believe that talking=doing. That would play into the stereotype that guys are "cool" for having sex while women are "tramps".

(I disagree but that is the stereotype.)

Answer 2

Society and religion put so many taboos on something as natural as sex. It is nothing any of us should be ashamed of. Sex is a beautiful thing, especially when it's an expression of love. It's also an expression of love to be able to discuss what we like with our partners. Women need not be meek in this area. Knowing our own bodies and what we like is a form of feminine power. Don't be afraid of sex and sexuality. Feel free to express yourself!

Answer 3

Women don't have to watch it, they choose to do so. Huge difference.

No one is stopping you from being open about sex except you. Just talk about it, I know many women that do. It's not a big deal.

Answer 4

Because if women talk about it all the time they'd be considered slutty as to where guys think it's cool.

Answer 5

you can talk about it if you like but as you say it's the way we all got brought up but it's now the twenty first century and i don't think that most people don't mind it nowadays.

Answer 6

it's that damn double standard. as women we've been raised to be modest whereas men just love to brag and have been told it's ok

Answer 7

because it's more acceptable for men to talk about taboo things like that. women are supposed to be more reserved i guess.....
