The relationship mechanics has transformed significantly in recent times. Equality is the order of the day. But have women adopted a different sexual ideology?
I‘d be the first to admit that I’m glad it’s no longer considered unbecoming of a woman to jump her man when she’s feeling the need for a romp in the sack. In fact, the more out-of-the-sack I have it (i.e. sofa, dining table, car backseat) and the greater the element of spontaneity, the better.
I certainly join in the chorus of many women welcoming more equality in the bedroom and being able to express our sexuality without shame or guilt.
Sex was always something that women saw potential for enjoyment. However, in the past, society-at-large would carve a woman out as a ‘loose’ slut or whore if she so much as whispered how she wanted to be pleased – and this whilst in a marriage.
How things have changed.
“Being called a slut and whore in the heat of sex is something I really enjoy. Perhaps it’s a perverse side of me but it turns me on and I am driven to play the role. In fact, I feel it’s a compliment since I’m being compared with someone who is somewhat of an expert at it,” declares thirty-something bank executive, Lily Lin.
Landscape designer Siew Cheng, 28, notes the chasm that exists between sex and love in men and feels that it’s not something to be overly shocked at if a woman were to sing the same tune these days.
She shares, “I’m not ready to settle down, and playing the field is what I want to do at this point in my life. Women were too emotional about it in the past but many modern women like myself want to take sex to another level – a level of sexual satisfaction without commitment.”
