Almost every girl has that embarrassing story to share about the guy who won’t leave her alone after sex! The countless texts and calls from the one-night stand that was supposed to remain only in our memories and not our DMs.

But why? A mutual agreement that entailed no happily ever after, no promises, and certainly no callbacks! Nevertheless, there is now a man with an impression you slept with him because you possess feelings. Of course, in his eyes, there’s no chance you had sex because you wanted sex!

Sitting there wondering what you could have said to make this guy believe it was something more than an itch being scratched, it suddenly dawns on you…women aren’t allowed to just want sex.

The dreaded response to our last night’s Casanova only fills us with the anxiety of their inevitable judgment. Painfully waiting for the reply, after sending the politest text of rejection you could think of, you’re wondering if the sex was even worth it. Low and behold, his confusion and anger get the better of him, and his reply could only be compared to if he had just witnessed his mother being slapped in the face.

The idea of a girl just wanting to have sex with no ulterior desires does not align with what he expects of a female.

The idea that the man pursued the lady that caught his eye and wooed her until she agreed to go to bed with him leaves no room for the reality that she most likely had the same intention. This ignorance doesn’t come as a surprise, considering we have all been brainwashed to assume women will and should only jump into the sheets with a man she only views as a relationship prospect.

A dangerous concept that can only leave a man’s ego wounded, an avoidable ending if we all could come to terms with a woman just needing an orgasm.

How wonderful would life be if women could unapologetically have sex without the consequence of having their value decreased? Is this notion one that more men could accept? Could there be a possible element that men are having casual sex, hoping a woman does indeed become emotionally attached? It’s not unlikely that men also desire to be wanted; however, it doesn’t seem sane to destroy their self-esteem by believing the narrative that females will only have sex with those they could love.

So do men think all women have sex for love? As it is 2022, it would come as a shock if men believed this to be true. However, most men feel they are in unfamiliar territory when faced with a woman who only wishes to have fun. One where many men struggle to have a positive judgment of said woman…a shallow depiction of what is morally acceptable of those who possess a vagina.

Nonetheless, we must applaud the women who bravely challenge the rules of sex with their heads held high and knickers on the ground in the hope that tomorrow men will embrace the fact that sometimes we only need their penis.
