Stereotype: Women can get sex whenever they want!

Stereotype: Women can get sex whenever they want!

Some people think that women can get sex whenever they want. In their personal experiences, perhaps. But when this is generalized to all women, this is just plain stereotyping.

1. Safety: STIs. Unexpected pregnancies. Healthcare support. Social support. Those things can all change a woman's desire to look for sex.

2. Socially Inept Women: A woman may want to enter a relationship and have sex, but can't, because she is too socially inept to do so. She doesn't know how to ask for sex without getting rejected, when to ask for sex in a relationship, and whether asking for sex would make her seem more sexually aggressive than she wants to be.

3. Limited Sexual Services for Women: Women already dominate the prostitution business. What makes you think that a heterosexual female would want to seek a prostitute (who is often female) for sex? There is the option of working as a prostitute to get sex, but then the woman may have to work underground if prostitution is not legalized in the country or region. For women who are actually prostitutes, many of them do it because they are in desperate need of money, not for romance or personal happiness. Not to mention, many women are trafficked into the prostitution business and are exploited by their pimps/madams!

4. Sexually Unattractive Women: Some women are just not very attractive. They may be too fat, too ugly, too boring, too bossy, or just too immature. Whatever the reason is, the men around them just aren't interested in them enough to ask them out on a date, let alone have sex.

Stereotype: Women can get sex whenever they want!

As you can see, the apparent widespread belief that women can have sex whenever they want is just plain false.

  • It isn't a stereotype. Can't call it a fact in 100% of the situations (just like with anything else), but it is a fact in the majority of cases.

    1 Is about their choices. They are deciding to go the safe route. "Can all change a woman's desire" implies that there is a choice.

    2. Men will still hook up with socially inept women. She wouldn't need to do the asking. Just give in.

    3. Sexual services for women being limited further proves my point. Supply and demand. Why would they pay for what they can get for free?

    3. Sexually unatractive women? Men+alcohol = much greater chance of it happening. Even sober, I've known guys who will have sex with anything with a heartbeat.

    I am open to any point that can lead me to believe otherwise though.

  • An average girl, can without a doubt have sex everyday if she wants... If the guy is up to her standards.. is a different question.

  • desire is a weird thing. Here's a riddle:
    -I can drink a soda any time I want (literally. There's a free soda fountain 40 feet from where I work).
    -I want a soda.
    -I don't want to gain a bunch of weight or drink something unhealthy.
    -So, I do not drink a soda.

    The riddle question is: If I can drink a soda any time I want, and I'm not drinking one now, then do I really want to a soda?

    I would say no. I don't actually want a soda. Even though I want a soda, I also want to not drink one. My desire for not drinking a soda exceedes my desire for drinknig one, therefore, I don't actually want a soda.

    If any girl has a desire for not having sex (for any reason) that exceedes her desire for sex, then she doesn't really want sex. Even though she might want it, she doesn't want it. The notion that girls can have sex 'any time they want' doesn't apply when they don't want it.

    That addresses your first point, anyway. As for the second point, you're right that it is a stereotype, but the thing is that it is not a stereotype about women - it is a stereotype about men. It is saying that most men are always interested in casual sex, so if a girl wants casual sex, she barely has to ask. Whether or not she is capable or even interested in asking is beside the point. It's avalible. Much like it is very easy for me to find soda, it is also very easy for a woman to find a man who is interested in casual sex. If that's not what she wants, or if she more strongly wants to avoid the risk of rejection, then (again) the "any time she wants" doesn't apply.

    The prostitution thing is kind of an odd point that you made. You did mention that the prostitution world is dominated by women. The reason for that is because there is a huge imbalance in the number of men vs the number of women that are interested in casual sex. in my opinion this is an argument in favor of the claim that sex is so much more accessible to women.

    As for unattractive women, yeah... It does get tricky there.

  • agreed. it isn't as easy as guys assume it to be.

  • I don't understand why some guys are getting so indignant over this. Be mad at your fellow men for agreeing to have sex with women so easily, not at women themselves.

    • Yeah but there is an imbalance and that's what is frustrating. Most women can get sex like its going to the shop on a Saturday morning. Many men can't, only a few have that power. Your average sort of hot girl has the same power as a male master pick up artist. that's the difference

    • There's an imbalance because guys are generally more willing to have sex than women are. That's not our fault

    • Well I believe they're indigant because the OP is trying to disprove that "women can get sex whenever they want" but had no idea how to disprove that so she just started attacking a straw man about reasons why women don't want casual sex. None of her points make the original phrase she set out to disprove any less true

  • This is the biggest non-conspiracy ever lmao Y'all CAN get sex easier, it ain't something to be ashamed of

    • lol it really is a no brainer for a reasonably attractive female especially if she's white but i thnk the bigger issue is sex whenever we want isn't what women typically want or need! so whats the point of this privilege? seriously. why do men use this against us?

    • @Ghosted We use it against women because we can

    • @Ghosted Oh, and I meant to say that there's nothing you can do to stop us aswell. . . because we gotta have something. . . And uh. . . [insert sexist phrase here]

  • I personally have never said that women can get sex at any time with a 100% guarantee. All I ever said was that it is far far easier for them to do it than it is for men. You can't even compare.

    • The dude has spoken:) nice one.

    • (: (: (:

  • interesting points that seem valid for a woman, in the sense that she can't get sex because she isn't willing enough to do so, but say she was, it's as easy as marketing herself on social media. trust me, there's bound to be a guy to fuck her. its not a matter of if, but when.

    • approve!!!

  • First off, I want to say I find it curious that I posted my own Take on this last week and it only got promoted, never featured, but a female writes about it and she gets Featurred. For anyone interested in my view of the subject, here's mine: www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a25202-guys-have-a-harder-time-getting-sex

  • Lol what in the world? You can find a guy to have sex with pretty easily

  • Women can get sex and women want to get sex whenever they want are two different things. For the most part, most women can get sex whenever they want, if only they had the balls to do it (haha), but because they are socially inept or scared of their reputation, or STDs doesn' mean they can if they tried, they just don't try.

    Of course there are some women who can't get it, and depending where they live, but for the most part, even ugly girls can get sex pretty much whenever. Not they they should... But they probably could if they looked enough.

  • Dont agree

    For the majority women significantly have an easier time. You can never say ALL women, but you can for the most part.

  • You've certainly made your point, and I would agree that it is grossly incorrect to say that EVERY woman can "easily" get sex whenever she wants. There are still many women who have a harder time with it as there are men, though to be fair, many women have higher standards than males do. For example, it is not uncommon for a 5-6 girl to settle for nothing less than an 8 or 9 whereas a 5-6 guy is lucky if he gets a 5-6 girl, but usually has to settle for a 3-4. In either case, I do still believe that generally speaking, women have an easier time having sex than men do. Not all women, but they still have it easier. I would say that for women, about 50% of them can easily have sex with whomever whenever they want while the other cannot due to a combination of factors. As for men, I would say that only about 10% to 25% of them AT MOST can have sex with whomever whenever they want while the remaining 90% to 75% have a more difficult time.

    I'm not complaining. I'm saving my virginity until marriage anyway. But the one thing that bothers me is just how picky a lot of women are. I consider myself a 5-6 and frankly I'm tired of 5-6 women who are in my league acting as if they are so special, beautiful, and entitled, demanding an 8 or 9. Some of them even have this attitude like they are even offended when I approach them, as if I'm somehow insulting them because they perceive themselves as being out of my league even though we're about equal and in some cases I'm slightly even higher than they are.

    That's not all women, but at the moment that's what most of the ones I've been around seem like. The great irony in all of this is that the high ranking 8-10 women actually seem more accepting and open to a lower-ranking guy (maybe because they're tired of douches taking advantage of them), but most of us average fellows lack the confidence to approach them.

  • All of these apply to men as well. Attractive outgoing guys get more easily laid than not so attractive socially inept guys. There is male prostitution too, although only the select clientele of the old, bored and rich women choose them. This itself backs the stereotype.
    Whoever says that women can get laid whenever they want is just foolish and maybe if you actually paid attention, you'd figure women just have it easier than men. It isn't a widespread belief, its a fact. This is just you ranting on the basis of your beliefs lady. Whatever you say equally applicable to men. Only we have a harder time getting laid.

  • This is a "no duh" moment. A generalization by nature is not true in all cases. It just has to be a high enough percentage to be considered true in most cases.

    Truth is an "attractive" woman can get sex whenever she wants. Whether or not it is with a specific guy or not is a different story. But if she just wants sex with a relatively attractive guy, she can get it. She just needs to vocalize it and not care if anyone thinks she's a slut.

    The risk of std's doesn't change the fact that she can still get sex any night, it's just a risk she has to accept.

    Being socially inept doesn't matter much as long as she can get across to a guy that she wants sex.

    Tinder is 24/7 and a lot of local singles sites have people online at any hour.

  • That is not true

  • The claim isn't that any woman can have sex with any man she chooses.

    The claim, which is true, is that any woman can easily get sex. By the way, it is almost as easy for a woman to get a relationship. The problem is that neither would necessarily be with the man she wants, especially the latter case.

    These days, with attractive men having so many choices, it can be very difficult for even attractive women to get the men they want.

  • Women can get sex whenever they want, but the quality of the men they have sex with is another question.

  • 1. Has nothing to do with can't
    2. Most valid point, but she don't even need to openly ask.
    3. This is the silliest one. They have hard time getting laid but could probably do it if she charged money for it? Come on.
    4. Looks help but virtually any woman can find a man for sex if she plays her card right and is not too picky. Some of the most promiscuous ones are on the heavy side and not so good looking side.

    • If some women need help with no 2, all you have to do when tmyou feel the timing is right is to ask "Wanna come back to my place?" Or the alternative "Can I come to yours?" That's the universal term for "I want to have sex with you." I guarentee you either one of those things will happen if you do. They will either accept or let you down gracefully. Only the cockiest few will shame you for it and I think most women have enough intuition to spot those from a mile away.

  • The idea of just some random guy is frightening. Deseases, personal safety and yeah the stigma of being called a slut or wore just because you want sex? Men and women are so close geneticly but so far apart socially...

    • Actually men and women are very far apart geneticly, in fact so far we could be mistaken for different species. Between same genders we have 99% genetic similarity, opposing genders only have 97% similarity in their genes, the difference between human and chimpanzee. Hence the differences. Also the idea that a random guy is frightening (ironic since statisticly he actually has more to be afraid of then you) is not the same as it being easy to get sex. Sex with who you want is difficult, but sex in general is easier for women then it is for men, otherwise we wouldn't have prostitutes and porn.
