Is it socially acceptable for women to admit they love sex?

[Sexchair]

There's a sexchair thread on AIBU.
My first thought was ooh that might help with my aching hips when I'm trying to have epically glorious sex. I certainly didn't think all the silly things that people are posting on there. It's no wonder that there are so many mismatched sex drives in relationships when women (I'm assuming the posts about knitting and cups of tea are written by women) have such a low opinion of it. Is it not socially acceptable for women to admit that they bloody love sex like I do?

"At the end of the day, it is an equality issue and man fear of the power of female sexuality."

This is what I can't get my head around. Having a sexually confident woman makes intimacy so much easier and enjoyable. Someone who is present, bringing their own desires and ideas, is amazing. I just don't get the fear.

It is one of the main reasons I like this forum as a man. I know some think we shouldn't be here and were all pervs, and I have had periods where I've left it alone, but I keep coming back because other forums with more men are just a bit crap!

NCT is IRL MN 🤣

Really Ha!

I am pleased to see this thread. I am 47 and I absolutely love sex. Great, passionate sex is bliss. I would love to be having more sex as my libido is quite high. I think about it at least a couple of times a day usually. Been thinking about it more often lately as I am hornier during hot weather.

The biggest issue with this is finding a “matching” partner

my previous partner had a lower libido than me so I was the “rejected”
person and my current partner has a higher libido and now I’m the one struggling to keep up!

I disagree. Comments such as “Can’t keep it in their pants” etc are often said in fun, occasionally as a positive. But calling a woman a slut etc is offensive . Especially when the male equivalent is Jack The Lad.

Going off topic a bit - I seen a few of these on FB and feel quite sorry for the women on here - some seem to be poorly informed or not very well educated but they want husbands who earn $1m + but don’t know the capital of France or how many months in a decade- quite uncomfortable to watch really as they are brutally shamed

@StarlightLady I 100% disagree with you here - I had previously worked in very female environments and they talk about men if often very offensive and negative sexual manner language - ( boring, can’t find a clit with a map, too fast, too small etc etc ) they might laugh and joke about it - but offensive meaning it just as strong- but often seen as a joke - but the meaning it still there.

even my current partner will criticise her ex husbands prowess in bed or his penis size for time to time

@Scarlettjune Going off topic a bit”? Just a bit then???

So what exactly are you suggesting? Are you saying women are less intelligent?

What is the source for saying women want husbands earning $1m? Although a woman doing the same job would probably earn much less.

I agree that the word slut is more problematic than Jack The Lad, though I'm not convinced they used in the same way.

Do you think women are more likely to condone men having lots of partners?
And if so, why do they?

I don't know why you'd need to go round telling people that you love sex unless it's for attention, so I'm not sure why you need to worry yourself over whether it's socially acceptable or not.

No one wants to hear about how much you, or anyone else, love sex.

I think this thread is just odd personally. Most people like and enjoy sex, unless they're completely exhausted and touched out from work and young children. It's not clever or special to like sex.

Don't worry OP no doubt he'll be in your inbox and buying you one before you know it.

Fucking hell what sort of person buys sex chairs for presents.

I think this aimed at me.

you need to watch it really- the women are usually asked how much a prospective husband has to earn - almost all the women are OF sex workers so earn lots of money- but are often not very academically inclined or have much general world experience- it’s quite painful to watch them being criticised

There have been quite a lot of mystifyingly defensive replies on this thread.

@StarlightLady
putting the sex part to one side- how would you describe someone in their 20’s or 30’s who didn’t know that Paris was the capital of France , or the France was in Europe or that Europe is a continent ?

@Scarlettjune - apologies l should have mentioned @BeEagerTurtle .

l stand by my comments though.

Me, lol, and shock horror wedding too presents see "love is art" for an unusual and interesting present. Can't really see what the issue is; both presents were received and enjoyed by couples I knew who would appreciate them.

What I genuinely don't understand is your attitude when you clearly follow or look at the sex thread yourself. Full of people who like and enjoy all forms of intimacy?

I stand by my comments also- women can be just as awful as men - but are maybe less vocal or verbal about it

I was brought up in Paris, so that would not be me. But l would imagine of those who don’t know, there would be as many men as women.

l think l would describe them as unfortunate and not blame.

But there are a lot of independent professional women not wanting to be dependent on the salary of a man.

Women are their own individuals and can enjoy independence and their sexuality. that includes lesbian women too.

I think you are missing my point here
these were OF sex workers ( so enjoy sex i Imagine), who were saying that they want husbands with £1m+ to look after them so they don’t have to work and would be dependent on the husband’s salary

Yet most responses on a MN thread are to make a joke about it.

Many many threads are odd. This though, is about how women have been, and to some extent still are, pressured by society to not admit to liking sex.

It's not clever or special to like sex.

No and it's shouldn't be, but I am in the minority (on an anonymous forum) to admit to it

I love sex! And I masturbate several times a day. For me it’s not a chore my body needs it. I can’t ever remember refusing my husband sex if he wanted it he happily got it.

You just reminded me of a Welsh lady I once met. Sadly she had been widowed and her deceased husband, by all accounts was a randy old goat (her words) so when he passed her life had a huge void. She wore out a couple of rabbits in her endeavours :)

Ignore the haters, if you love sex, go get it. I have lots of sex and I think if you are someone especially a woman ridiculing you for it then they must have their own insecurities
