From time to time, I lace a young dude or female with some advice. However, THIS one seemed MUCH younger than 23. Check it out.
MESSAGE BOARD EMAIL, FROM A 23 YEAR OLD WOMAN:i don't have much sexual experience at all. i had one boyfriend and the sex was always boring and uneventful. for the past couple years i've become so sexually repressed that i'm almost asexual.
there are times when i just want to experiment sexually but then i have this fear that the guy won't like my body or he might disrespect me. and then the reputation that women get for having casual sex is not something i want to endure
there is a guy i'm real interested in one of my classes and there is defintely sexual chemistry. a part of me wants to give him hints that i am down sexuallly but then i fear whta he might think of me if i do this. and i am scared i might start to like him and get hurt. i am confused
so what shdould I do? do you think every woman in her life should experiment sexually with men?SHE ALSO WENT ON, TO POST:another issue is that when i had sex with my ex boyfriend i would feel incredibly guilty, like it was very wrong because we weren't married. so i have become so sexually repressed that i feel so guilty about desiring casual sex with menMY REPLYFrom a
male perspective--and a player at that...
I'm going to give you "the real". This is going to be loooong so I know you'll enjoy it. (Sorry had to do it. LOL). Seriously, take heed. I'm not holding any punches, so please don't take anything too personal. And if you get NOTHING from this, go buy my "Ladies' Guide"....check the profile. ;)
I know you said you were 23 but you sound 17, very sexually inexperienced, and also a bit naive (as in lacking Street smarts). Honestly, babe, you sound like a "victim" and one that would get preyed upon by upperclassmen. Not to be funny, but you actually remind me of the type that would get trains run on her by the football team or the Ques. There were a few females on my college campus who came from a sheltered lifestyle, with little or no sexual experience who would just go "nuts" (literally) as soon as she got her taste of independence.
I'm agreeing with a lot of things that were said on this board so you need to take heed with a lot of whats being said. Sounds like there's some experience on here, so kudos to a lot of you.
First and foremost,
you need to tackle the demons that you have about being comfortable with sex. In your posts I see a lot of contradictions. On one hand you want to explore your sexual side and experience different men, right? Cool. But then you talk about the guilt that comes with it:
* "another issue is that when i had sex with my ex boyfriend i would feel incredibly guilty, like it was very wrong because we weren't married. so i have become so sexually repressed that i feel so guilty about desiring casual sex with men"That's a problem. How on earth can you be at peace with getting your 'nut on' if you're feeling guilty about it? As a human being, its normal for you to want to explore your options. It is actually biological. But it takes the fun out of it if you're worried all the time. On that note, you said you don't want to be perceived as a "ho", which is by definition, a person who has multiple partners outside of a commitment. But perception is perception...you need to either make peace with your freaky side, or suppress your desires. A great suggestion made earlier is to "spread it around" and take your show on the road. Do not do the easy thing and mess with multiple guys on campus. I don't care how big the school is. Brothas are going to immediately throw you in the "toss up" category. Word travels.
If your agenda is "physical gratification" you need to be strategic on WHERE you get it from. I'm telling you...everyone at my school knew who got down. That happens everywhere when ladies decide to get too freaky with their schoolmates.
Here are some no-no's I can think of, off the bat:-Do NOT mess with multiple guys on campus
-Do NOT be seen leaving a party (that you frequent) with another dude, unless you are in a group. The next time you go, people will know you as the late-night jumpoff
-Do NOT think you have to dress provocatively to attract men. (in fact, do you have a MySpace page? Send me the URL and I'll throw you some feedback)
-Stay away from high profile dudes on campus, especially Jocks and Greeks (if you only want sex)
-After sex, do NOT give him any disclaimers, e.g. "I don't normally do this" and "I don't want you to think I'm a ho."
Next, if you haven't already, take some time to
get to know your body. Masturbate and purchase a toy or two to satisfy some of your urges and "take the edge off". In the meantime you need to
pick your sex partners wisely. You can't just jump a dude because you want to see "how thick" he is--even if its only for sex. Since you're new to the idea of exploring yourself, you
don't want to just acquire multiple sex partners. Start with ONE friends with benefits. Pick a dude who's low profile and doesn't hang around with gossipy men, jocks or Greeks. Once you get to know him, establish an understanding...one of "my ladies" actually proposed a "sex contract"; whenever she needed it, I had to deliver within a certain time and vice versa. That way you can be safer and still get your nut on. You don't want to start off banging multiple dudes out the gate, for SO many reasons. As you should already know,
always bring protection with you (just in case) and insist that he wears a condom. Also, know your cycle and be cognizant of your fertility at all times. The best way to get your 'nut on' without caring about your image is to go on vacation and leave your state. Go to another part of the country during spring break and let loose. Chances are, you will never see "Mr. Strange D*ck" again, so that takes care of perception.
I actually talk about a lot of this in my book,
"From MySpace to My Place: The Ladies' Guide to Finding Mr. Right or Mr. Right Now Online." Granted its centered around meeting men online, but its applicable offline as well. It includes ways to categorize men (what you should look for and what you should avoid), how to "take your show on the road" (if you're looking for 'Mr. Right Now') and general safety tips, such as being safe sexually and guarding your image. Not to market my sh*t in your face, but you could really benefit. Good luck babe and send me your link if you want any feedback.
