It’s sort of sad how engrained this sex-as-currency thing is. And how limiting it is.

Jesus.

Are you serious, or do you just like giving Em shit?
Seeing as I feel awkward attributing characteristics to Em, I will use myself as an example.
If I am regularly a slut with my boyfriend, it is not really a gift to do it for V-Day. Sex is a given. No one is debating that sex will happen multiple times in various positions and rooms over the course of the holiday. We all agree that sex is good, being sexy is fun and all that happy shit. HOWEVER, this fact would be just as true for a weekend in April as it would for V-Day.
The sex as currency comment comes into play when it is assumed that men are to buy women flowers, chocolates and jewelry and, in exchange, she is to dress skanky and let him PIIHB. THAT is using sex as currency to me. I don’t do those things so he will buy me things (or because he bought me something), I do them because we both ENJOY them.

I am authorizing you to speak for and attribute characteristics to me, SP. lol
Orion, god, you make me sad sometimes. You are so mired in your assumptions that it really doesn’t occur to you that a woman might happily do all the things you’re talking about for the sheer fun of sharing the experience. I will say, however, that I don’t think “slut it up” is a term that quite applies to me in any context, because it implies the denigration of one’s self, which in my opinion I never, ever do. Now, others might differ. I recently did some dirty stuff in a car. Is that slutty? I don’t know, some people might think so. “Hot” was the label applied to it by the only person whose opinion I really value in these matters. He also expressed that he loves that I can be like that one minute and then back to my regular self, in jammies and ready to snuggle in front of the tv, the next. I suppose if sex is for barter, THAT is the exchange. Except it’s not, because I know he loves the cozy stuff as much as I do. Especially when both of us know that it can turn dirty again at any moment. Each act is its own reward. THAT is the point, and why holidays like this one are confusing, because built into it is the assumption that something is owed. But what, and owed for what?
