ORIGINAL: LotusSong This is a serious question. Why do men feel compelled to controll a woman's sexuality? When a woman DOES embrase her sexuality, she is then called a slut, whore, and/or bitch? What frightens men so that they need to do this? I think you are quite right, that men are afraid on some level of women's sexuality and that there are a number of reasons for this. First, until very recently -- the late 1960's, early 1970's -- there was no reliable method of birth control. Couple that with the fact that men controlled wealth, and that they passed they passed their wealth on to their children, for most of history men had to control women's sexuality and in some way insure that their wives only fucked them.. If they didn't, then their wealth would be passed to someone else's child; someone not of their blood. So, monogamy was the result. And monogamy was enforced by religious, "moral" and societal means. But it has always been true that there were less restrictions on men. The old double standard. There is no term for men the equivalent of "slut." Men can fuck around, but if women do, they are sluts. Women pay a much greater price if they are promiscuous. Second, I also think that most men are afraid of women's sexuality. Women have a naturally superior and wonderful capacity for sex. A woman can literally fuck 50, 100, or more men in one day or night or both. A woman can have many, many partneres and many, many orgasms. Men, on the other hand . . . Well, we all know that men physically just cannot match what a woman can do sexually. We can't come close. In the end, I think that on some subconcious level men realize that if a woman really gives free rein to her innate capacity for sex, that no one man can satisfy her. So, again, in order to control women's capacity for sex, monogamy is the result, or at least the prevailing view for women seems to be don't have sex unless you are in a "long-term" relationship; unless you are "in love." Lest anyone get the wrong idea, I am not monogamous and I do not expect my submissive to be monogamous either. *grin* In fact, I am fascinated by women's sexuality, their greateer capacity for having sex and orgasms, and the differences between women's sexuality and men's sexuality.
