Filthy and Lustful

Filthy and Lustful

For many women, sex is never fun. Perhaps they never had sex before marriage - they "save" themselves for their husband. Perhaps they believed the myths that say sex before marriage is filthy and lustful but that after marriage they will be floated off on a rosy cloud. Then because they have shut off all their urges for so many years, they find they can't respond, the rosy dream is shattered; it does become a duty. When they've had a family, added to their dislike of sex is the fear that they might get pregnant again. And after they are past child bearing age they have no good experiences of sex to make them want it again. No wonder such women are against anything which enables women to have sex more often.' No wonder such women think that women's liberation means giving up sex altogether.
