Yesterday I was sent an article about the differences between men and women when it comes to casual sex. The main premise is that women are physically wired differently so that when they have sex, a hormone called oxytocin is released, creating feelings of “trust and attachment.” The upshot is that girls who engage in “promiscuous” behavior end up feeling depressed when they get attached to their casual partner and the feelings are not reciprocated.
My first impulse upon reading this article was that it was another way of telling girls that they had to behave and remain chaste or face the consequences. But I decided to keep an open mind and find the truth for myself. So I designed an experiment: I would have sex with a man who, absent sex hormones, I could never have feelings of “trust and attachment” for. Living on Union Square, there were many options right at my fingertips. I was initially torn between the guy who yells, “one penny? You can’t give one penny?” at every person who walks by and the guy who leads the Free Palestine protest on the weekends. Then I figured, what the hell. An experiment is only reliable if the results can be repeated, so I’ll have sex with both of them. So today it will be One Penny and tomorrow it will be Mr. Free Palestine. Maybe both tonight, if I have enough time.
Kidding, mom. Thanks for sending me the article, but what are you trying to say?

I agree with your first assumption; but I have to say in my experience (and I have been hoing it up a bit) one is always depressed when feelings aren't reciprocated ... sex or not. AND, females can engage in cas sex with men they aren't attracted to and be fine with it. Save yourself from the possible VD associated with your current prospects, and just take my word for it.
You mean I didn't have to get all that VD? Always the last to know
oxytocin? that's funny, the only time i have the sex it usually involves rush limbaugh quantities of oxycontin being released into the girl's drink and they never seem to get very attached. in fact, they rarely remember anything of the incident at all until they find themselves posted on pornotube a week later. did you ever see the one of the girl at mardi gras? yep, that was meeeeeeeee!
