I think both women and men nowadays are way too eager to engage in sexual activity. People have stripped away the emotional component of the act, and have deemed it a purely physical need (sic). While that in and of itself is not inherently wrong, it does have some very problematic results/consequences. Most notably, the degradation of interpersonal relationships, and a propensity to use others to fulfill those desires. Let's face it: men tend to act like douchebags because it is an effective way to court potential sexual partners. Lacking inhibitions, a willingness to lie/deceive, and a complete abandonment of personal morality give a competitive advantage. Ladies, if you want men to stop acting like this, and be decent...well, there is no kind way to say this, but stop sleeping with assholes. Don't reward bad behaviour. Humans are animals after all, and can be conditioned in a similar fashion. You want men to be respectful, compassionate and honest? Then show an interest in potential romantic partners that have these qualities. Seriously, the fact that people have the audacity to complain about how they can't find anyone to date in a serious capacity when their primary location of engagement is a club boggles my mind. If you're a vegan, you wouldn't go to to a steakhouse or ribfest if you were seriously interested in finding food you would like. Could you make it work? Sure, they likely have something for you, but it will be slim pickings. So don't mess with -blam!-boiis and then complain that men are jerks; because the real men aren't hanging around the -blam!-boiis. They might know a couple, but they aren't spending time with them at the strip club...no, the men (and I mean respectable men) have more than pussy in their minds, and are spending their free time on those pursuits. But I digress; along with the above issue, is the fact that when people finally do form serious relationships they have unrealistic sexual expectations. Aside from wanting sex constantly, there is often a desire which persists past the capacities of a single partner. People convince themselves that they are missing sexual opportunities with others and then lean towards adulterous behaviour. Their desire for sexual conquest beyond their current relationship (which is based solely on a physical level - as they have stripped away the emotional component) ultimately compromises the legitimacy of their relationship. I'll try to keep it short, so to cut to the point: if you are sleeping with someone simply because you want somewhere to stick your dick/fill your hole...well then you are probably better off masturbating; but, if you are sleeping with someone because you are generally emotionally invested...well at least you are starting from the right place. Rant over.
