Apparently, college-aged women prefer prudes as friends. Or rather, given the chance to evaluate two gals as suitable friends — a sexually permissive woman versus a non-sexually permissive one — they rate the girl least likely to suck a dick more positively. Even as they proclaim themselves liberal on the subject of having loads of lovers, casual or otherwise, themselves. Sorry ladies, but you got this one all backwards.
In the study, 751 college students answered questions about their own whoring propensities, then read vignettes about a male or female peer who’d either slept with 20 people (whaaa) or two (whew). Then they rated them for friendship suitability based on friendly-type characteristics like warmth or emotional stability.
Women preferred the legs-crossed abstainers, while men were pretty meh about whether other dudes got a lot of tail. Upside: Nobody likes a poacher, though, so both sexes weren’t into the idea of friends who posed a threat to their mates. But women judged promiscuity more negatively all around.
Yawn. This much we know: Dudes are testeronally obligated to get it on; women must guard thine delicate ladyflower with a blah blah black sheep and police among themselves.
The findings suggest that though cultural and societal attitudes about casual sex have loosened in recent decades, women still face a double standard that shames “slutty” women and celebrates “studly” men, said lead author Zhana Vrangalova, a Cornell graduate student in the field of human development. The study, titled “Birds of a Feather? Not When it Comes to Sexual Permissiveness” and published in the early online edition of the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, reports that such social isolation may place promiscuous women at greater risk for poor psychological and physical health outcomes.
Never forget: Fucking a lot will leave you friendless. Since prior research tells us that men don’t marry sluts, this single-handledly turns these Jezebels into the Hester Prynnes of their own social circles. Next stop: isolation, very sad hoodies and having to slut it up the next school over.
Who will befriend these terrible sex-crazed gargoyles? LOVE this sentence:
She suggested future research to determine whom they could befriend — perhaps straight or gay men who would be accepting of their behaviors.
Whew, maybe the gays will take them, or at least straight men who don’t want to fuck them.
OK, so problem is that there aren’t just two types of sexual people. And there aren’t just two types of sexual women especially, since we’re the ones being judged so harshly. You aren’t either screaming all aboard or the buck stops here!
As if sexual behavior is some constant, unchanging outlook, attitude, and set of choices. As if it doesn’t change with time, age, or circumstance. As if a woman can’t experiment sometimes but not others, based on a highly subjective, shifting set of criteria throughout her life.
