>We
live in a culture where sex is not so much an act as a thing: a
substance that can be given, bought, sold, or stolen, that has a value
and a supply-and-demand curve.In this "commodity model," sex is like a
ticket; women have it and men try to get it. Women may give it away or
may trade it for something valuable, but either way it's a transaction.
This puts women in the position of seller, but also guardian or
gatekeeper. Women are guardians of the tickets, men apply for access to
them. This model pervades casual conversation about sex: Women "give it
up." men "get some." The commodity model is shared by both the
libertines and the prudes of our patriarchy. To the libertine, guys
want to maximize their take of tickets. The prudes want women to keep
the tickets to buy something really "important": the spouse, provider,
protector.
Meh, in my experience, that's only true if you
go after a women who is out of your league. If you go after a woman who
is not as attractive as you, the opposite is true. |
