Dear Daddy,
If you're reading this, I strongly advise against it. Your little girl isn't so little now. Remember the stork story and be content with it. This isn't going to be pleasant for you. Or anyone else, probably.
Love you forever you hunk of a man,

Every Monday I have had to listen to 2 women discussing the world and putting it to rights. It's the same things most weeks. The intake of breath when they refer to gays/lesbians, the disapproval in their voices, their opinions on the youth of today, their love of moaning, their traditional values. Now, I'm all for traditional. Hell yes. I love it. As I've blogged before I want the traditional family life whenever I actually grow up and I want a traditional wedding and a traditional home life. Not too much to ask but far too hard to find.
The conversation they were having today was the 'promiscuity of women'. Interesting I thought, considering I have the libido of a dog on heat. Does that make me promiscuous, a slut, a wanton woman? Is it a bad thing to like sex? It is a much more freely discussed topic nowadays and most people aren't ashamed to admit to liking a bit of slap and tickle.
These 2 ladies were saying how in 'their day' it would be an outrage if a woman was known to sleep with more than 1 man or, heaven forbid, enjoy doing it! It was all so secretive, as though it was a bad thing to do. Despite it being one of the most natural of human urges. The way in which life is created. The only time, or so it seemed from the way they were talking, sex was an option was when you wanted to have a baby, not because you could really do with an orgasm after a hard day at work? (It is the best cure for stress, trust me.) They commented how a woman would be shamed for freely admitting to having a sex life. They never mentioned anything about men being shamed for it though. Guess, that hasn't changed too much then...
It does seem like you fellas really can get around and it's a positive thing yet, if us ladies do it we are slags. Go figure. It is becoming more commonly accepted that it is a more even playing field now though. We aren't encouraged to cheat, catch every STD under the sun or screw hundreds of people but we are allowed to give in to our desires a little more freely than before. The comment of all comments came when, the lady I actually visit, said (and point out she isn't that keen on me, or so it seems) "Girls of today really ain't like 'ow we were. They're all like 'er out in the kitchen. Doing daft fings to their hair and that, sleeping about, gettin' an 'ouse from the council, not working, or working very little. They're all lazy. Not like it was in our day." Wow. It always astounds me as to how she really thinks I can't hear her talking about me one room away. Of course, she doesn't know my sexual activity and neither do I to be honest lately but still I, because I am fairly young, am being cast under the general umbrella of joy that is 'the youth of today.' I am of this generation thus meaning I sleep about, take drugs, drink too much and have no respect for anyone. (Her description, not mine.)
Should I be ashamed or embarrassed for enjoying sex? Should I have stopped and waited to be married before I sailed away on the S.S Shagfest? No.
Another thing I don't understand is why is there such a big hoo-ha over how old you were when you lost your virginity? Does it actually matter that much? Of course, if you were ridiculously young then fair enough but jeez! I don't get why it is such a momentous time in someone's life. I never have understood it and I never will I'm afraid. Plus, why does it matter how many people you've slept with? Don't even get me started on the pubic hair debate...
The ladies were content in their beliefs and that's fine by me but in my opinion, fuck it, it's only sex...
