Double standard (not sure what to title this)

I think everyone isn't looking far enough into the situation. A lot of people are blaming religion and culture; however, it's not the people involved made it up off the top of their heads. the fact is, polygamy is quite natural for humans. the reason for this, as was explained to me once in a biology class, partner-selection styles amongst different species tends to depend on the reproductive systems of each gender. If one gender has less chances at reproduction (e.g. for women, an egg once a month) then they generally have to be more choosy/picky in choosing a partner because they have less chances at having good offspring; on the other hand, if a gender has lots of chances at reproduction (e.g. for men, creating sperm several times a day) then they don't have to be very choosy because there are lots of opportunities at getting viable offspring.
To be honest, the only 'unnatural' part of human reproductive methods is that, based on what happens in the rest of the animal kingdom, men for the most part have been the ones who tend to choose the woman/women they want. In the animal world the gender with the least opportunity at having children gets to be the picker (in our case, women). Although, I suppose we're kinda like lions then in that case. Whoever was the strongest lion got to join and mate with a pride of lionesses. but i think what happened is that those instincts got corrupted overtime and trandformed into this ugly (and frankly unrealistic) double standard culture.
Actually, I've always been confused by the whole "you're a *kitten*" ideology. I mean, I've always been under the assumption that men LIKED 'easy' women. It seems kind of bizarre to want sex, yet get mad at a girl who's willing to give it. I think we just need to shed these cultural fears that are causing all of these confusing and harmful problems and accept our feelings and sexuality for how it naturally is for you.0 -
It may have started with religion, purity, morality and women being "property" way back when but I honestly think it comes down to anatomy. A guy has a penis that protrudes and a woman has a vagina that is penetrated. The vagina stretches and loosens essentially obtaining "wear and tear" from regular use. It reflects its amount of use and doesnt go back. This doesnt happen to a penis. They are the same regardless of the amount of partners.
I can understand the thought of a lesser used vagina being more attractive to a man. It will probably be tighter and the less guys loads have been there done that the better.
I dont think its ok to label anyone for enjoying sex. If youre a sleazy person in general thats another story...0
