Sexonomics



Somewhere along the way in my generation, sex has become an acceptable and tradable commodity.  Gone are the days of courtship, wooing, mutual connection, and established monogamy and in it's place is a disturbing trend of one night stands and a sense of entitlement--for both genders.

In the past 30 days alone, I have been asked to "come back to my place" on the first date, and upon my polite refusal, was treated to the Houdini in the following days.  I am definitely not a prude nor do I feel that sex has to be 'earned', however, it is most certainly not on the table before I even know your last name.  I don't care how many times your game has worked in the past, I am not interested in causal sex that will historically only lead to disillusionment and disappointment down the road.  I am a modern woman, but not to be confused with promiscuous.

Sex, in my opinion, is an act that should be carefully considered and not offered to every interested party--otherwise its value is diminished.  If it's available to everyone with no pre requisites, how is that in any way special or meaningful?  It's human nature to want what you can't have, so if it's ultimately offered up to every tom, dick and harry that comes along, it's no longer a hot commodity. It's the basic economics of supply and demand, even without any emotion in the mix.

And just for the record, I have never, and will never send out nude selfies, so please refrain from requesting such photos.
