    Well speaking as one woman (and not all women), I've found I've far less interest in ONS's in my late 20s than I did when I was younger. That drive to just **** a randomer for the sake of scratching an itch has diminished with time and experience and I'd much rather take care of business myself, as it were, than seek out what will probably be awkward, slightly uncomfortable and largely mediocre sexy time with a stranger.

    Add to that all the boring safety concerns and it's left me in a place where I could easily and happily go months without sex. (Though not the other stuff) And I'd have a fairly healthy sex drive.

    Not to say that all ONS's are like that, but for me, sex is inherently more satisfying and fulfilling (ooh matron) when there's an emotional connection there and as I've emotionally matured that sentiment has just gotten stronger.

    So if I'm not dating anyone, I'm not having sex, it's no biggie. I'm not "sex starved" or sexually frustrated, I'm just focusing on other things until there's someone new in my life again.

    September 2011, I've lost my mojo. Up until that point I had a very active and varied sex life.

    +1, except I've always been this way. Much easier to take care of things oneself. And likely more satisfying too. I've no doubt some people have had amazing one night stands, but mine have always been awkward and the sex unsatisfying to boot. At least with self-love (;)), you know you'll get there! And old-fashioned as it is, I never felt great about myself after ONS. Like some random bloke's masturbation device.

    I went a looooong time sans sex before BF ambled into my life. :)

    Online sex counts now right, I mean this is 2013.

    Yup I agree, like crying myself to sleep with loneliness each night is totally my own choice.

    My experience has been the opposite to what you're stating. Women I know just don't talk about it as much. I don't discuss this stuff with my female friends at all. I'd never in a million years tell anyone and everyone how many men I've slept with but many men wear it as a badge of honour.
    Oh certainly, as the fella said the main difference between a "virgin" and a "whore" is discretion. :) I'd also agree that on average more women have had more sexual partners than men. It's more a sellers market for a start.

    Usually the friendzone fella talk about how much they want a relationship with the girl though beyond just sex though, no? At least that's the impression I get from here on Boards.
    Meh IMHO that's mostly flim flam. The biggest diff between a friendship and a romantic relationship is sex. People do dress it up, but that's what it ultimately boils down to.

    How can you say that with any confidence though? That's only been your experience. I think things have changed an awful lot in that regard. In my own personal experience, I've known more women than fellas who've (as you say) "bonkzoned" guys who wanted more. I've been bonkzoned but I've also partook in some bonkzoning (but making it very clear to the guy what the craic was).
    Oh sure it's going on my experience, however look at the PI forum on here, look for the males friendzoned and the females friendzoned and compare and contrast. Far more of the former. In bonkzoned the reverse tends to hold pretty well.
    Now I do agree that women are more inclined for this to happen to them but I'd also say it's young women and men that complain of being "friendzoned" are usually young guys.
    Oh sure, it's defo more a young guy thing and it seems much more prevalent than in my callow youth, or maybe that's just on Boards? Young men tend to be more likely to see women as "special creatures", rare and slightly out of reach. Add in any social awkwardness and that type of thinking leads to friendzone. It makes no sense either. Women make up half the population of the planet, the odds are kinda favourable. Plus some are special(like men), most aren't(for any particular guy in question). Those kinda men prone to this thinking just need to learn to tell the difference.
    As a woman in her 30s, I'm talking from the perspective of women who don't hold such romantic attachments to sex anymore and have had enough experiences of it to know better. The romantic ****e knocked into us by Hollywood (for example) has been knocked out of us through our twenties. There was a time I was like that and presumed a man sleeping with me meant he liked me as a person until I lived a bit and realised that wasn't necessarily the case.


    I often find when these generalisations are made about genders that they're often referring to young adults (early twenties) and I can never relate.
    +1 it's most certainly age/experience dependent. I'd say women are much more likely to "grow out of" that thinking too. I have known men to still fall into friendzone when they really should know better. Friendzone at 19? OK it can happen. Friendzone at 30? You really need to check yourself Ted.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Pretty much this, I've always had a pretty high sex drive, more out of the need for stress and tension relief than anything, so maybe a couple of days of dry spells here and there, but then there's the making up for lost time, and I personally never found self service any substitute for sex tbh.

    Not to nitpick but doesn't that kind of contradict what you said previously about women being "less likely to engage in reproductively risky behaviour"?

    Shoite... *wonders will I delete post*, fùck it, too late already! :pac:

    Ah no, just I know amongst my own circle of friends (who would be predominantly female so it was interesting to read Wibbs and Legs.Eleven's conversation) it wouldn't be that unusual so I wasn't surprised by your post, I was like "finally, somebody else who won't make me look abnormal"...

    Yeah, that went a bit tits up alright! :pac:

    Kinda I suppose. Not much of a social life which is by choice so, by extension, I don't meet many people.

    Not really. It comes down to a numbers game and a sellers market. Women in general can decide to have no strings sex, a zipless fcuk more than men, hence overall more have.

    All 18 years of my life. I have considered celibacy, I doubt I could keep a real relationship going and one night stands just seem skeezy to me.
