I was looking at a magazine the other day, dedicated to explaining the sexual revolution, ala Fifty Shades of Grey or Sex in the City. What B.S! The sexual revolution is a myth. Shoot, we were talking about a sexual revolution clear back in the 60s. Yeah, the idea now is as old as many of the rest of us. Remember “free love?” Nothing has changed in the last 50 years and trust Sam and me when we say, nothing is going to change.
The VAST (I said VAST) majority of women, in the U.S. at least, still count on men to make “the first move” and always will. And guys, do not believe those Viagra, Cialis and Levitra commercials that show women panting for sex – if only you can finally get Mr. Big standing straight and rigid for longer than a few minutes. Show me a woman panting for sex and I’ll show you a woman who probably will let you down. She’ll expect you to know lots of cool moves and to last more than 20 minutes and if she doesn’t climax at least once (though her expectation is for more) she’ll probably wind up turning you down next time you ask her out.
Guys, don’t automatically think you’re going to seduce a woman with food and drink either. If she doesn’t already dig you she might just slurp down a half dozen raw oysters, a couple glasses of wine and some chocolate-covered strawberries and thank you for a nice evening, but go home without you. So, you’re out a couple hundred plus bucks and still didn’t get asked over to her place.
Role playing, toys and light BDSM might be considered de rigueur by novelists and movie makers, but good luck introducing any of those into your sex life. Role playing can be cool, but personally, Sam and I just can’t understand any woman wanting BDSM - to be tied up for instance (too dangerous) or to be spanked very hard. Having been a cop, I wouldn’t let any woman get near me with handcuffs or ropes. I’d have visions of Lorena Bobbitt (remember her) or Kathy Bates standing over me with a very hurtful weapon and a crazy gleam in her eyes.
The really strange thing to me is all the women over 50 who are single (or not) who say they don’t want sex anymore. Is sexual revolution only for the younger women? Good grief, what are us old geezer menfolk supposed to do? The older women don’t want sex, only cuddling, they don’t want us to watch porn, we aren’t allowed to pay someone else for sex, and God forbid we even give a woman the perception that we are forcing ourselves or our attentions on her. How do you spell jail time?
The problem with this whole sexual revolution thing is like that old saying, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Women have always and will always be looking for love no matter how liberated they pretend to be. Unfortunately, they tend to be most liberated and fall in love easiest with guys who have some kind of fame, or lots of money or some perceived power.
The sexual revolution is now and never will be Fifty Shades of Grey. It’s still just one shade but people keep trying to color it up because that sells more books and movie tickets.
