Women Are Different Than Men

Stating the obvious here. Once again, the Anchoress has found a golden nugget and shared it. Casual Sex is a Con:

Our culture — both in the media via programmes such as Sex and the City and in everyday interactions — relentlessly puts forth the idea that lust is a way station on the road to love. It isn’t. It left me with a brittle facade incapable of real intimacy. Occasionally a man would tell me I appeared hard, which surprised me as I thought I was so vulnerable. In truth, underneath my attempts to appear bubbly, I was hard — it was the only way I could cope with what I was doing to my self and my body.

The misguided, hedonistic philosophy which urges young women into this kind of behaviour harms both men and women; but it is particularly damaging to women, as it pressures them to subvert their deepest emotional desires. The champions of the sexual revolution are cynical. They know in their tin hearts that casual sex doesn’t make women happy. That’s why they feel the need continually to promote it.

I do think that some leaders believed the hype and just can't bring themselves to admitting the truth. Maureen Dowd personifies this delusion.

Look at the women suffering from infertility--the majority coming from Genital Warts spread by sexual contact. Over 50% of sexually active people have this disgusting infection. By aged 50 80% of women have it.

Free sex is not free.
