women and sex
by Sherlock » Fri Dec 30, 2011 1:29 am
The other day I was walking down the street and two women came out of a coffee shop, they looked at me and began to have a conversation with one another. As they walked past me all I heard was one of the two women make a comment about the way her boyfriend feels about blowjobs. Why is it that if two men are having a casual conversation about sex or anything sexual for that matter the are viewed as pigheaded or gay? Yet if women have said conversations it is just a couple friends talking? Hypocrisy and sexism at its finest.

As a woman, I can't imagine such a conversation. Welcome, sherlock.

I don't know people like that, or perhaps they just aren't that way around me? I'm grateful either way.

Both genders do indeed have such conversations... I have heard and been told all sorts in my time.
Examine what is said, not him who speaks.

The Narcissist exists whereby every activity and relationship is defined by the hedonistic need to acquire the symbols of spiritual wealth, this becoming the only expression of rigid, yet covert, social hierarchies. It is a culture where liberalism only exists insofar as it serves a consumer society, and even art, sex and religion lose their liberating power.

Liz has the right idea: if you're a woman it should be impossible to even conceive of what your opinion on sex would be.
I look for women like that. They're usually awesome in bed.

You're viewing that conversation from a perspective of 20 years ago

An exasperated Freud asked, "What do women want?" That question assumes that the sexes are so different that what goes for one doesn't apply to the other. I told my college roommate that women wanted sex as much as men did. He didn't believe it. In any event sex and sexual talk are common to both sexes. Only men who put women on pedestals, who see ideals where reality could suffice, think women are somehow superior to men in sexual expressions--verbal or physical.

Thanks, Moreno.

Considered, gay? Having the same conversation as those women they would, but why would anyone think a man gay for talking about sex, with another man?

Either a couple of men or of women mostly their topic of conversation is about sex or related. Nothing to worry at all. I am happy with the way I do the conversation with my friends. Sexual talk are common. Come on!!

Who on earth has that perception? My friends often talk about sex. Most likely complaining that their girlfriend won't let them take her up her arse, or else discussing various positions they enjoy.
Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.

It would be pretty strange to think two women talking about sex were gay, if the topic was one of them talking about the way her boyfriend feels about blowjobs. And likewise if two men were talking, and one was describing going down on his girlfriend. In fact it is impossible for me to imagine anyone assuming those men were gay. And to assume they were pigheaded would be really odd, since at least one of them goes down on his girlfriend. I mean, unless she doesn't want him to, really, and he insists, that could be pigheaded. I truly doubt many people would assume two men were gay simply if they were talking about sex. I suppose if they were talking about how they love to be anally penetrated, or one was saying he really wished the other one would spend more time on foreplay, well, OK, I might think they were gay. But if they were talking like straight guys generally talk about sex - descriptions of boobs, hot babe, would or would not 'blow me', hot pussy or whatever - it would be strange to assume they were gay. In fact there might even be a clinical problem if someone did.Sherlock wrote:The other day I was walking down the street and two women came out of a coffee shop, they looked at me and began to have a conversation with one another.

I wonder what this thread was really about.
