  • "sexually liberated"

    this term applies to both men and women

    i think it simply means that he/she wants​ to have sex with anyone with their wish, then they are not stopped, opposed or punished for doing so

    sexual liberation
    means no opposition or punishment if anyone wants to have sex with someone or has sex with someone

    i think people (both me and women) in a Western society or simply in America are sexually liberated

    www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1031819-do-you-believe-that-women-are-really-still-being-oppressed-by-men

    sexual liberation gives rise to promiscuous acts like ONSs , hookups, etc

    sexual liberation brings pre-marital sex , but that's not an issue. I think its their personal decision. But, personally i think its not a good idea.

    But sexual liberation supports casual sex and thus, promiscuity (both men and women) which i think is not good but if it's a personal decision of that person, then it's not my headache.

    morally, promiscuity is condemnable
    BUT. what is happening in western countries that when a person decides to indulge in promiscuous activity as a personal decision and if anybody tells that don't do it. It's a wrong decision.

    it's a suggestion and/or request. But the person thinks that they are being restricted from doing so
    and they want to oppose this restriction. So they wrongly* classify these thoughts of opposition under the concept of Feminism

    Slut shaming adds up to this spark and end up into a fire creating a trauma under the name Feminism

    that's wrong. its not Feminism.

    Its unhealthy for the society.
    when a woman has sex with multiple men, she's called 'slut' , but there are less cases that a man who has multiple sexual partners is called a 'man Whore'

    calling anyone 'slut' or 'man Whore' is wrong according to me because it's their personal decision

    what has anybody to do if he/she is dressing in a provocative manner or is getting indulged in promiscuous acts?

    I think its unhealthy​ for the society. It has many side-effects on sn individual's body, which results in disturbances in his/her post Marital lives
    and then, gradually influences the life of each and​ every individual of the society.

    • i think sexual liberation for a woman simply means that if it's a consensual decision, then she is not shamed on for having sex with somebody; she is not stopped from or punished for having sex with​ someone

  • Just a term for women to be out here bein fairly easy, and not feelin bad about it.. LOL..

    • Thanks for MHO! :)

  • In my opinion, sexual liberation in women simply means that the idea of traditional behaviours that revolve around sex are no longer applicable as it was challenged in the 60s when the sexual revolution was pushed. The acceptance/"normalcy" of contraceptives, sex outside of marriage, choice of abortion... All followed along as women took more of a stance on deciding on making their own decisions on the topic of sex rather than having to conform to traditional norms. Is it healthy? As I believe that everyone is entitled to make their own educated decision on things, yes, I find it healthy that women are given the choice to think for themselves. To each their own.

    A side thought, since overall men psycollogically have the desire for sex without strings more so than women do, I feel that the so-called sexual liberation of women is more so like sexual liberation for MEN. As in the end men get more sex and more sexual variety without making an emotional commitment.

    • Love your last part about sexual liberation possibly being more for men than women, that’s interesting insight that I’ve thought about but no one seems to bring up. I guess if everyone is getting sex, it can’t be a bad thing lol. Not everyone, but women aren’t being as restricted as in the past.

    • My mind rambles on with random thoughts and views when I'm sleep deprived haha. Exactly! As long as the sex is consensual and all parties are safe, all the power to those that care to engage in the sexual acts that they care to engage in - win, win for all parties. I personally know where I draw my line, so as long as I'm not pushed to have my standards changed, I have no issue.

  • Based on my understanding, it's about not feeling ashamed of being sexual, and accepting one's own sexuality. Women being told that they shouldn't want sex or shouldn't be overtly sexual has been a pretty significant issue even up to the current day, so "sexual liberation" is essentially about counteracting that kind of sex-negative attitude. I can't really speak to all the circumstances in which the term has been used, but based on what I understand it as meaning it's a good and valid goal which I tend to support.

    • Hey cipher, it’s been awhile lol.

    • Haha yeah. College started back up so I've been kinda busy.

  • Sexual liberty in my mind just means that it's OKAY for women to be sexual beings. It's not slutty if you wanna dress sexy, it's not wrong to like or be open to sex, you're not less worthy if you aren't a virgin, etc. I don't think that means you have to hop on every dick you see but you don't have to be a virginous Christian girl waiting for marriage either.

    • And do you think that kind of a liberty is a good thing?

    • Do you think this shift has made women happier? The shift meaning, more and more closer to acting like a man when it comes to sex. I personally don’t think it’s self evident that this shift has benefited or made women happier over years, I actually believe it has had the opposite effect.

    • @zzzondarrr Yeah, I see nothing wrong with it. I don't get why you need to be ashamed to be sexual. Being okay with who you are sexually doesn't mean you have to be a slut. I remember I used to be so embarrassed about my body and the fact that I actually liked sex, until I met my partner who is supportive and really made me realize that it is in fact okay to like sex. Lol. If other people don't like it, well then, boo hoo I guess.

  • I think it’s a fancy way for a woman to fuel the idea that having a lot of sex is good and free / you can’t hold this women down... (Personally, I think it’s an excuse to sleep around. I think it’s unhealthy... But just my thoughts on it)

  • on the west it might mean that it should be accepted that women have random sex without being judged like men.
    by some culture, like arabic, it's about that women are actually allowed to enjoy the sex. (usually they're only used to for the man's pleasure)

  • It means women are allowed to embrace and explore their sexuality without being afraid it makes them less human or less dignified.

    I don't think it is synonymous with promiscuity, though they are related.

    For example, women are more comfortable telling partners what they want in bed.

  • Historical, women were treated as property, a commodity, and a bargining chip, used to gain lands and cattle in marriage proposals. After you were traded/ sold to your new husband, usually you would be raped by him to lose your virginity, or you would tearfully submit to him. The man would dictate your sexual needs, desires and acts, and when and how you would act on them. Really in less than the last century, we've gained the freedom to get away from that. We get to decided and set the pace for what we want. We get an input and decided when where and how. So no, it's not made up or unhealthy.

  • In my own, personal, opinion it means not being ashamed to be attracted to someone and being able to say it's true if someone asks and if you're the kind of person who is okay with anyone knowing your own business...

    Sexual liberation - for others, as I've understood it - means sleeping with whomever you want without feeling embarrassed about it.

  • It means that a woman isn't afraid to talk about her sexuality. It's only unhealthy if someone is spreading diseases. My thoughts are I don't care, it's not any of my business what someone else is doing consensually and safely with their own body

  • I think it is suppose to mean that a woman is free to decide what to do with her body and free to disregard societal norms. I think the idea also is that we are suppose to recognize this as an "advanced state of being" for a woman and that means that any desire to be critical should be suppressed.

    Essentially, what @rgb008 said!

  • I have a lot of respect for sexually liberated women provided that they have respect for themselves. As long as they are very careful and take good care of themselves, I believe they should thoroughly enjoy their sexuality as the word 'slut' has effectively stopped being a bad word. Being a "sexually liberated" woman is only a made-up, unhealthy, and false term if you believe that for yourself.

  • I think it’s a term of convenience that’s been hijacked to replace the concept of women’s equality in the workplace, and opportunities to pursue studies and careers that were formerly traditional male roles. Don’t think it was intended to refer to use of genitals.

  • To accept her sexuality and not be afraid to express it.

  • to me it means... when a woman wants sex, she isn't ashamed, she goes and gets it (consensually). that might mean approaching her husband or boyfriend, or a friend, a hook up, etc. she isn't afraid of what people will say or think about her- she's pursuing what she wants.

    • and you wonder why you feel like you're "falling apart", how ironic...

  • It means she acts on whatever she feels sexually. It's not unhealthy, unless you take it to extremes.

    • So basically she's a whore

  • I think it just means a woman who is not afraid to talk about sex and her experience with it.

    • Agreed

  • I think it means express their sexuality and accept it

  • She can sex whenever and whoever, how many times she wants. She can also be comfortable with sex/sex talk, and doesn't need to pretend to be ladylike or innocent. Confident, she knows what she wants, and not afraid to show it. I dont see nothing wrong with that as long she she protects herself and others from diseases. I think every woman should be free to sex when she wants. It's her body. Don't bother me.

  • A woman who wants sex and goes and gets it without worrying about societal double standards and moral code.
    Probably has its roots in the last century, partly around the time the contraceptive pill became available.

  • Having multiple partners; it's not good for their sexual market value when it comes to marriage

    • 100% agree Nerd

  • I guess It's the politically correct term to describe a girl who sleeps around.

  • When a woman has many sex partners, or starts having too much sex.
    she becomes a sex addict. Period.
    At this point, its fine. When you can eat as much cock as you want, but once you get past mid 25, and then you want to get married and settle and basically settle for 1 cock for entire life, that's when the problem starts.
    These women become unable to stick to 1 person, they can never be loyal to 1 person.
    Females get attached to the guy they have sex not like men who can have sex and completely forget who they did it with.
    It (too much sex/too many sex partners) has destroyed many women and it will continue to destroy many women's lives.

  • I saw something online by a girl who said she got raped but ended up really getting into it. She called it "liberation" because she "never got pleasured like that before."

    After reading that, I just threw all fucks to the wind regarding the word.

    • Yeah, there’s apparently a lot of definitions out there making this term very ambiguous.

    • She was confused u can't blame maybecshes in chock and will get back to her sense and the thing about rape it makes u feel guilty bc ur body gets turned on and pple just hate them self for that but its not their fault its just ur body reaction to stimulation it have nothing to do with what u want its like ur body reflex if I hit ur knee it will bounce up u didn't make it bounce up its just a natural reflex and she got wet its not bc she liked it its all bc her body reacted and nothing is wrong with that

    • @amel23 Reflex or not, she still felt somewhat positively about it.
