Thinking about the stud/slut issue did anyone notice the discussion about Arnie on that Q&A episode.

There didn't seem to be a whole lot of praise for him as a stud.

Houellebecq <"...men are given the dirty dog position from the get go."
Are they?
Who by?

Most men are considered to be 'studs' or 'sowing their wild oats' if they have sex when they are single. And if they have sex outside marriage, then they surely deserve the 'dirty dog' label?

I tend to agree with Houellebecq though when he intimated that women often label other women as sluts far more readily than men do.
Maybe those women aren't happy with their own sex life then, if they have to find excitement gossiping about other women's supposed 'loose morals'?

Well suze, think of it this way. A guy looking at a nice looking girl, it is assumed he wants to fock her. A girl looking at a nice looking guy, it is assumed she wants to have a romantic candle light dinner, a wholesome loving relationship, the full range of human intimate relationship. Sure she would like to have sex, but it's never considered she wants to use and abuse him and never ring the next morning now is it.

If a man has an affair, it is assumed he just couldn't keep it in his pants. If a woman has an affair, oh, she was so confused, and he wasn't meeting her emotional needs, the relationship didn't seem to be going anywhere, and this and that and... do you ever hear, she just wanted to fock someone else because she was ruled by her vag?

Guilt comes from conscience when ones self value is violated.

Gee Houellebecq, you must only know 'nice girls'!
I have known some women who just have sex for the physical pleasure of it, and then not call the guy the next day!

I think we can safely assume there are people of both genders who can be 'nasty in love' or even when not in love :)
Vive la difference!

Hey Suze, can I leave you my number to pass on?
