are women ?

[legend006]

Are women getting more promiscuous than they used to be ?
Is there a rise in the ladette type of behaviour or is that just a muth?
Have they slowly got easier and easier since the swinging sixties and the summer of love ?
Or have they always been repressed ladette sex crazed minxes just dying for a bit of the boaby ?

Discuss amongst yourselves.

[Octavius]

Have you never read any Victorian literature, or observed Elizabethan theatre or witnessed ancient carvings, statuettes, monuments and hieroglyphs?

If you had my dear young boy, you would realise the world and its history is rife with promiscuity, innuendo and general �goings on� - mostly by the female of the species. Perhaps you didn�t understand the subtext and inert sexual frustration amongst Bronte�s prose or Shakespeare�s �Acts�.

I am wondering whether your supposition is just wishful thinking.

[skyep]

I agree with Octavius to a degree,, although apart from theatre, I think freedom to be sexually liberated has been under wraps. Yes, I think women are more promiscuous today, women are more confident in their own bodies, know what they want & go get it!

[Velvetee]

Yes they are. My friend is married and has slept with countless other men behind her husband's back and where I work is like a knocking shop, most of the younger female members of staff have slept with a variety of other staff members.

[logic]

Dunno, leg, that kind of thing is at the bottom of my list now,

so maybe it's just a muth, :-)









yours truly,

Just one example skyep.

Hamlet: Shall I lie in your lap?
Ophelia (slightly shocked): Ay, my lord.
Hamlet: I mean my head upon your lap? Did you think I meant country matters?
Ophelia: I think nothing, my lord.
Hamlet: That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs.

The use of the word country and its hanging emphasis in line delivery, was not unintentional. Innuendo and bawdiness were the delight of the Elizabethans, since most plays before WS were religious. Shakespeare spiced it up a bit. The randy sod!

[skyep]

Pepys diary was an eye opener too! What a letch! xxx

[B00]

And if you want TRUE filth, read anything by Marquis De Sade, that's jaw droppingly depraved.

[Octavius]

♫ A shy young maid has took a room down at the village inn
Her bedside light is oh-so-bright and the curtains oh-so-thin
She enters the room at nine o'clock, at half-past nine she sleeps
Lord Clarendon walks quickly on, but naughty Samuel Pepys! ♫

Classic Benny Hill!

[andy-hughes]

There is a media perception that 'lad-ette' culture (?) is on the increase, and given the increasingly depressing culture of drinking to be drunk, there will certainly be ain increase in the number of girls who are incapable through drink by the middle of an evening.

I think the advent of the Pill certainly opening up (sorry!) possibilities for young women to have sex where and when they chose, but a couple of generations have grown up with that situation as the norm.

I would suggest that promiscuity as such has probably levelled out - but immature behaviour lasts longer - into the mid-twenties and early thirties these days.

[andrea81]

I don't think women are more promiscuous now, but I do think they are more vocal about it!

It's not kept behind closed doors as much! But lets not forget that if women are having it and talking about it more, then there are men who are also having it and talking about it too!

To coin a phrase "It takes two to tango!"

[~spaced~]

woman have definately become "looser" this century.
Look at TV and Film, what was allowed to be shown then compared to now.

But that is not to say that ALL women are slappers

Spaced covering his tracks

[4getmenot]

I think its about the same really you get slappers and then you get no sex before marriage types. Think its always been the same.

[whiskeysheri]

Exactly what andrea said! I have friends of both sexes that are as promiscuous as each other.

Good move, spaced ;)

[skyep]

Promiscuous / slapper?
A woman can be sexually confident, wouldn't label that as being a slapper!

[4getmenot]

I didnt say it was I said you get slappers (one end of it) to no sex before marriage (tother end)

[4getmenot]

Each to their own as long as they are careful who cares

[skyep]

Was quoting spaced !

[weeal]

how is it only the women who get 'tagged' as slappers or tarts tho? what about all the blokes who constantly think with their d__k

[andrea81]

I think men and some women are still thinking back in the day that women had to lay back and 'do-it' like a chore!

If women enjoy sex there is nothing wrong with it at all! Knowing what you want is better than a man trying to guess what we want! Get straight to the point! (as it were)

[skyep]

Accepted as a primeval perk!
