Women go through hormonal changes constantly during their cycle, so it makes sense that their drive is more susceptible to change (maybe?!). The pill can **** up your sex drive so bad due to hormonal changes. It's not just a case of women "liking" or enjoying sex.

I'm just going on my own sole bad experience with someone (male, not sure if it matters)who had no interest in making it good. And the fact that a lot of women seem unaware that they have a G spot. They're not easy to get to by yourself. It doesn't take monumental effort to find and act on someone else's but my suspicion is that some people have partners who haven't bothered to try in the first place. I know there are women who can't be bothered in bed, too.

Fast forward to the 9 minute 30 second mark-the reviewer notes how LoN includes a rape attempt, by the female protagonist on a male friend. IT's a really interesting comment review of a sequence in the book, and essentially undermines how blinkered and blind LoN is to issues affecting men.

Sleepy wrote: » Sadly, that would reflect the majority of women I've slept with tbh: they viewed sex as something to be done to them rather than something they had a role in making a pleasureable experience. I suspect language and the way that that many people tend to talk about sex in this country plays a big part in this (or reveals how we think about sex) "I'd have to be dug out of her" / "Wild horses couldn't drag me off of her" / "I'd let him do anything" followed by a wink etc. Or even at it's very simplest: why is that we tend to hear "fuck me"... rather than "fuck with me"?
hatrickpatrick wrote: » Have to massively disagree with most of what's being said here, the vast majority of my sexual experiences have involved women who are really into it and in no way passive. My ex was a full on BDSM dominatrix. One woman I've been with was only able to get off if she was on top, one enjoyed sitting on faces, one particularly hilarious one had an exhibitionist kink that got us thrown out of a nightclub the night we met :pac: Methinks that those who are only finding passive sexual partners are either looking in the wrong places or else don't know how to spot the difference personality wise. I'm seriously into kink myself and I always find that if you're looking for someone who takes an active role in the bedroom, you can tell by how they flirt when you meet / chat eachother up. If it's a case of you pursuing and her always being coy etc, she's potentially the passive "you do things to me" type. If she takes an active role and flirts back in terms of joking, teasing, making fun of you etc and is actively courting you as well as the other way around, she's more likely to be active during sex as well. On the other hand, you definitely can't use this method to determine whether somebody is likely to be into dominance or submission when it comes to BDSM - I've known women who were managers, bosses, and people with jobs involving authority (gardai, teaching etc) who enjoyed being tied up and what not, and I've known women who were incredibly shy and pushover-ish in their social group but who liked to wield the whip behind closed doors I've actually always wondered if there was something in that, psychologically speaking - one's everyday personality being an antipode to one's sexual personality. The idea of executives, bankers etc being submissive in bed is a common enough societal trope that it can't just be fiction. I'd say one other thing - society very much pushes the dominant / submissive roles on men and women respectively when it comes to sex. If you frequent any discussion forums on the subject, you'll find hundreds of posts from dominatrixes and submissive guys who are self-conscious about their preference because it goes against media stereotypes etc - both thinking most people of the opposite sex would be turned off by their preference, so therefore hiding it and not admitting to it. So as far as passivity goes, I'd also question whether some of that isn't actually the result of suppressing natural desires rather than expressing them. As I say, I've found a more or less even split among women once I've gotten them to open up to me about it. I mean if you think about it, if it was actually true that most women were passive when it came to sex, how the hell would a lesbian relationship work? I'm picturing two women fighting to get the other to do more

I'd agree with that being referred to as child endangerment, same as smoking during pregnancy - until and unless a safe quantity is established. IMO, to defend anyone who drinks during pregnancy is to defend an extraordinarily selfish, narcissistic act.http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/drinking-alcohol-early-in-pregnancy-even-in-small-amounts-increases-chances-of-harming-your-baby-9182458.html People who drink during pregnancy should be attacked for it. There's plenty of evidence that it's dangerous and very little evidence that it can be safe.
“The advice is, if you are thinking of getting pregnant, keep off the alcohol, and if you find yourself pregnant and have been drinking alcohol, don’t worry as the effect will still be small,” Professor Cade said

Widdershins wrote: » It's not unusual at all for the roles to be reversed from ordinary life to bdsm. The people in the powerful and/or high stress jobs enjoy submitting because of the break from having to be in control all the time, and the release they get from the endorphins. If you don't mind me asking, do you get the same instinct about people in everyday life or specifically in settings that cater to kinky people, like clubs?
