I was only kidding when I used the word sluts. A more accurate and nice way to say it is: 33% of women act like men.
Here is content from a study done earlier in the year (different from the study I heard about yesterday on the radio but same results):
But the troubling aspect of the study reveals what happens once women meet the strangers: "Many of the 568 surveyed women who eventually met their online dates engaged in risky sexual behaviors. Thirty percent of the respondents reported having sex on their first date. Seventy-seven percent of respondents reported not using a condom during their first sexual encounter."
The press released explained why this reckless behavior is happening: "Padgett said otherwise cautious women may engage in unprotected sex because they are lulled into a sense of 'virtual intimacy.' By the time the couples meet face-to-face, they have exchanged much information about their backgrounds, their likes and dislikes, as well as their sexual preferences."
Padgett continued, "The high level of disclosure and frequency of e-mail exchanges with men provides women with at least a virtual intimacy—a sense of a relationship that may or may not exist in reality but may encourage sexual intimacy at a faster rate than what would develop through conventional dating methods."
The Internet, because of its anonymous environment, creates a glass-like shield where people reveal more personal information than they normally would in person.
Women need to be aware that their Internet exchanges with online lovers can create this false sense that sex is safe with that person. When, indeed, it may not be.
The CDC, Centers for Disease Control reports that the fasting growing (percentage-wise) age group for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV is the 55-plus age group. While the actual numbers are not as large as in younger age groups, one would not want to become a statistic and saddled with unpleasant and possibly life-threatening STDs.
"Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable."
