How Casual Sex Can Affect Women

On this channel so far, I have approached discussions around sex in a fairly emotionally detached way, and not really spoken about the emotional and psychological ramifications that casual sex can have on women. The reason for this is because most anti-Feminist female YouTubers (e.g. Daisy Cousins, Classically Abby, Mrs Midwest, Candace Owens, Suzanne Venker, Sydney Watson, and Lauren Chen) all approach discussions around casual sex and female sexual promiscuity in rather negative ways. There seems to be this incorrect notion that Feminist women support casual sex, and anti-Feminist women are against casual sex, which comes from the incorrect assumption that Feminism is synonymous with sexual liberty.

Yet the irony of Feminism is that it doesn’t really support female sexual liberty at all, because if it did, it would a) realise that most women are more emotion-oriented when it comes to sex, and b) allow women who are less emotion-oriented regarding sex to benefit from this (through the decriminalisation and regulation of prostitution). In current Western culture, the majority of women feel pressured to adopt a more masculine, devil-may-care attitude towards sex that often denies the emotional aspects of sex. For women with high sex drives who are more comfortable in viewing sex in this way, sex work allows these women to benefit from this. Rather than having casual sex for the sake of having sex (which is a more male-oriented way of viewing sex), these women can receive something from it beyond just having a shag (i.e. a profession, and sex work being treated as a business not a crime).

Since the majority of women don't view sex in a male-oriented way, and sex work (in the UK and USA) is not currently a safe option for women who would genuinely enjoy that profession, most women experience social pressure to match the sexual desires of men. Yet the average woman does not seek out or desire casual sex to the same extent that the average man does. As a result, women can often feel hurt and used more frequently from casual sex than men do, because we are often denying our emotional needs.

Personally, as I am less emotion-oriented regarding sex than most women, I have enjoyed nearly all of my sexual encounters and generally have no regrets (between the two, I'm more likely to regret not acting on something than acting on something). It is all life experience, and you cannot know something until you give it a go. But I am aware that this isn't the case for a lot of women. It's a complex topic, and one I want to continue to discuss as honestly and wholesomely as I can (as I try to with most topics on this channel).
