I cast a couple of other thoughts, into the mix: One is that, whenever you talk about someone giving sex away, or being taken advantage of sexually, it suggests that the person "giving it away" didn't get their interests met, but the person "getting it," did. And yet, they're both there for the pleasure and joy and satisfaction of the encounter. Why, in a sexual encounter, would one person be viewed as "giving it away," and having no self worth, while the other person is not also viewed that way? Or, why wouldn't they both be viewed as "getting lucky"? I pose the question for you to think about. To me, it suggests that the person "giving it away" is just having the sex or scene, in order to please the other person, that the encounter, itself, is not meeting their needs or satisfying them. That certainly does happen. When one is seeking intimacy and love, and the other is seeking only sexual release, this will be the unhappy results. One example that comes to mind is the current trend for middle- and high school aged girls to give boys oral sex, while the girls are not satisfied sexually, themselves. This seems to me to be a bid for the boys' affection or approval, and this implies some insecurity in the girls, that they don't expect to be treated, in kind. But when a person says, 'isn't it hot and glorious to screw your brains out, for a night?' (I know that's not the exact quote, here), I think that they enjoyed themselves and another person, not that they were pitifully "giving it away for free," because they have self esteem issues! The other I have observed is that, try as you might to make it the physical act, alone, there is much more happening. When you have a shared intense experience, in that close proximity to another, as sex or a scene, you're both opening up to each other and mixing it up with each other - psychologically, energetically, at a raw and naked level, and at a high, essential level. You may remain strangers, in every other sense, but you must let your guard down, in a big way, to go to the state of experiencing sex or a scene, fully. I think that, other than having shame about sex, this is the main reason that some people can't get away from the other person fast enough, after sex or a scene - even if they love that other person, let alone, in a one-night stand. They've just gotten way too close and personal with the other person, and they're hurrying away from that.
