Women don’t like sex? Who started this ridiculous rumor anyway? It may have been prevalent back in the “good old days”, but since the beginning of the feminist movement, it seems that women have made it perfectly clear that we enjoy sex as much as men do, if not more.

In the 60s and 70s there was free love everywhere and women were involved in there somehow. It wasn’t just the gay men who were coming out, it was women, too, that were finally allowed to show that we are sexual creatures and that we like it. Really, really like it. And not just for procreation either. Then came HIV and AIDS, and things had to slow down, and we had to take a breath, but our love for sex has not stopped.

In our modern times, women are waiting longer to get married, or choosing not to get married at all, and choosing instead to have a career and enjoy the type of life that success can bring. Do you honestly think they are celibate? No, me either. With the deadly STD’s that are out there, now, a woman must be very careful who she brings home and into her bed. She also must be very careful for her own personal safety, too. Getting to know a man or woman very well seems to be a good idea before becoming intimate with them. And women being women, we don’t usually give our precious bodies away to just anyone. For the majority of us, sex just can’t be a casual act. Yes, there are those out there that jump from bed to bed like bunnies and give the rest of us a bad name, but overall, I’d say that when we give you our bodies, our hearts come along with them.

The person who started the rumor that we don’t like sex, and I’m sure it was a man, should see us now. Of course we like sex. It’s fun. It is the way to be closest to the person you love. You can play games and laugh like little kids while having sex. It doesn’t always have to be serious. It’s also an activity that you can do just about anywhere, but just don’t get caught. Coat closets, locked bathrooms, and backseats of cars aren’t just for teenagers, you know. It’s also great exercise, we can’t forget that one.

Women have come out of the closet about liking sex and I don’t think we are ever going back in without a huge fight. Why ever would you want us to, anyway? I think we can safely put that myth to bed now and forever. Women love sex. We always have and we always will. Just come deal with it.
