I don’t think y’all grew up around misogynistic mindsets, no hate to the OP who I don’t think meant it in that way, but that’s what that phrase is used for. The phrase refers to this idea that you couldn’t put effort into someone unless you consider the sex good, and that’s part of where their worth to you comes from.
it is not your obligation to put effort into someone. if you are totally the opposite of your partner you shouldn’t be with them and that ESPECIALLY includes sexual stuff. if im a very vanilla person and someone tries to force me into experimentation im not “negotiating” with that!!!!!!!!
In terms of being sexually incompatible, which is the excuse the phrase uses, the idea that people in a healthy relationship might just have bad sex forever is dumb. If you live that person, or in the beginning just really like them, you can figure it out. Basic chemistry obviously needs to be there but that’s what entices sex in the first place, after that it’s largely communication, unless it’s like literally a pillow princess and a man who wants to be dominated who are very set on those ideas
I’m being called both tradcath and too woke, ya’ll don’t realize this is a “good old boy” saying to pressure women into sex with little to no commitment. The idea that women are an option and you’re just looking the lot, rather than actually falling in love with an individual you would also like to have sex with.
