What Does Sex Really Mean?
I've always been a big proponent of believing that women have the right and should determine their own sex lives as long as some level of responsibility was excercised, by using some form of contraception to protect their physical bodies. I have heard countless women (including myself) say things like, "It's just sex. Men do it all the time. So why not women," or things like, "Sometimes sex is just sex....nothing more." After viewing the video clip above which thoroughly explained the specific chemical reactions that takes place with each new sexual encounter, I KNOW I will never take this stance anymore. How many times have you heard women say, "It's just sex," only to see women fall into the emotional trap of wanting more; realizing that their bodies ultimately betrayed them??? As I've grown older, I know now that I only told myself these lies, ALL LIES, to justify my then promiscuous behavior. Men and women process sex differently...PERIOD. I think the mistake that we as women have made is believing that we are somehow inferior because we DO process our sexual experiences differently than men. Women cannot take on the sexual patterns as some men----because we are NOT men. And this realization does not make us inferior, but should empower us. We are the gatekeepers; men need our permission to enter. The results of trying to adopt the sexual behavior that some men display is far more damaging to women's bodies than to men's. Pregnancy and the possibility of contracting STD's are not the worse thing that can happen. A broken spirit, and the emotional distraught of attempting to play the game that some men play will, without question, manifest in our physical bodies. So...tell me what do you think of the video posted above?
