I, still, {HEART} the sexual revolution

Ladies,
it is my on-going opinion that no one should long for the dating realities of the 1950s.
All that formality and lack of sex is not the answer to the casual way 20-something men now seem to treat female companionship.
There's got to be a happy medium, because I, for one, am not going back to a time when you did not know before marriage what the sex was going to be like.
Shine's friend, Nicole, wrote this. And I can see that casual dating could be daunting, and get old.
But I, for one, like not having to talk on the phone. I like not having to account for what I'm doing, or whom I'm with.
Men have historically been more "independent" than women, and there are even theories that this is biologically based.
Sigh. Maybe they should have told me I wasn't going to be born a boy before I stood in line for extra 'self-reliance' and a triple dose of 'freedom-loving.'
Anyway, listen up... you don't have to do the 20-something hook up thing. But please, do not wish that we go back to virginity as a bargaining chip and rationing of sex as a means of securing financial security.
Please... I do not want to be a prisoner of those quaint traditions.

Thanks.
Me.

I definitely don't want to go back to the '50s. Though I sometimes like the fashion.

I just want what I want when I say I want it. Period.
