Considering men are seen as sex obsessed animals, I always found it curious how so few talk about the women they’ve slept with. And when asked, responses are so often in recognition and respect for womens privacy. Yet I know many of my sexual partners have shared these intimate moments with their friends. And honestly I find it weird. The knowing looks, or nods of approval, is not something I understand or enjoy. I once took criticism on my performance, from a mutual friend on behalf of the woman I slept with. I’ve also been patted on the back and been told ‘good job’, by others - and it’s fucking WEIRD. I’ve never heard my friends discuss the shape or appearance of their partners vulva, yet I know this information about my body has been talked about at length. And as much as I agree there should be a healthy dialogue about sex, especially between men, I find sharing this information to be crossing a line. So is this a social norm where women need to catch up to men? What do you think?
