Reply #37: From a man: I'm not frightened by sexually assertive women [View All]

[MindPilot]

but I am suspicious as hell. I grew up with an understanding--and I don't know if this came from my parents or what--that sex is something that women give and men get. Sex was always a bargaining chip and since the woman owned the vagina, she had the greater bargaining power.

I would likely be fairly well off by now if I had not spent so much gambling on the getting laid lottery.

No woman ever had sex simply because she liked it--there was always an ulterior motive--and I was probably well into my forties before I figured out that wasn't accurate.

Now pushing senior citizen status, it's not much of an issue anymore, but I suspect that idea is probably still fairly prevalent although slowly changing.
