It’s a common belief that today’s women are “free” to fuck who they want, as much as they want because they aren’t shamed for giving their bodies away anymore. Apparently, the sexual revolution caused women to feel like they can sleep with men with zero repercussions/judgement and that’s why they do it as they wish. If women were shamed and policed again, they’d easily go back to chastity and “saving” it for the first man who asks to marry them.

I’m really not sure if this sub of mainly men will understand this, but being told what to do with the body you (and only you) carry around everyday can easily breed resentment. Easily. You’re not breaking any laws by having sex. You’re not breaking any promises by having sex (if you’re single). I know that sexually frustrated men are going to have their metaphorical guns out ready to fire when I say this, but you are not hurting anybody when you have sex. It is a largely private act between two people and it should be nobody’s, nobody’s business but theirs. And even if it can possibly hurt the woman herself, that is still HER risk to take. It’s HER decision to make. Her vagina is hers and it feels repulsive when others believe that they have a say in what she can do with it.

It’s not surprising that many women live with a deep resentment/disgust about this fact. A lot have a voice in their head saying “your body is not yours.” Why wouldn’t they? It’s what they’re told, covertly and sometimes overtly, all the time. It’s really not shocking that many women felt the need to rebel against it, chuck up the metaphorical middle finger and say fuck you. It doesn’t help at ALL that there is a double-standard. Nobody cares what guys do with their dicks. In fact, they’re actively encouraged to use them- the more women the better. Yes, we all know it’s different. The master lock/broken key thing, how biology works. It’s only logical that men and women are seen differently for doing the same thing. But just because it’s logical, does not mean it’s fair, and people have the right to be bitter about unfairness. Men rage all the time about 80/20 and hypergamy even though it’s totally logical and based in biology.

In conclusion, if you really want to be rid of slut/hookup culture, shaming is not the answer.
