It might not be the same for men- but I would dare say that most girls HONESTLY really DO think the man she sleeps with is going to love her forever and take care of her.
That is why you get so many unwed mothers now, even tho EVERYONE knows about free birthcontrol. Don't tell me they do not know- I knew in the 60's! They taught all that in school, buddy.
These girls today take chances on purpose because they really think it's love. And their hearts get broken. It takes an emotional toll.
Otherwise, sex is just another body function if you want to get down to it.
But it does have rather high repercussions, doesn't it? Like the guys being dragged into court for child support and being constantly harrassed and no money left over. The two women in his life always bitching about the other....
Yes, the STDS... sex is like fire- wonderful when in it's place, and good- but out of it's proper spot- devastating.
