What's with the "slut shaming"? Personally, I've never understood why grown men ape the dating parameters of teen-aged girls.
This has been the standard since I first started having sex in the late 70s. I agree with you completely that it's neither new nor inherently shameful.
Ummm...with all due respect Bb i don't think he was doing that at all. He was expressing what
he wanted and wanted to know if that was not the norm for gay society. Just becuase his desires and ideals for a first date do not correspond with yours does not inherently mean he is "slut shaming." What would be the phrase for someone calling a person out for not wantng to be slutty? Live and let live.
It's ike getting pissed at someone who asks "Is everyone into some kind of kink, cuz i like pure vanilla, and was wondering if I was in the minority for the gay culture." While not for me (i have to have some kink) I wouldn't dream of accusing them of ..."kink shaming", I guess? Any more than I would feel the desire to critisize a person for an unshared kink. I don't get sounding, but I am not going to try to "shame" a person who does. If it gets them off, great. I expect them to respect me and my desire to not have it performed on me. If they tried to shame me for not trying it or being closed minded to it, there is the fuckin door.
For the recoerd I tend to go either way. There are times where, depending what I am looking for, I have seriously regreted the first "date" fuck. Especially if it was on a social network site. Or someone I meant IRL. Unless a quick lay was the reason to do it, I'd rather not.
Now that being said, I have had relationships of
some kind develop out of what was initially a one night stand. My current FB being a prime example.
In neither case was I a puritanical "slut shamer" or a "fuck whatever comes along" slut.
Am I a slut? You betcha:biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1:. Am I a romantic? Very much so:redface::redface::redface:. Do they always coexist peacefully? Nope, lol!
I would say to play it by ear. If you don't want to have sex on the first dtae, don't. Simple as that. If the dude gets all butt hurt (and sepecially if he teries to shame you into sleeping with him) dump his sorry ass. He was ONLY after one thing and even if he wasn't, your veiwpoints are probably not going to line up.
Now if there is that spark, and you want at each other?
GO FOR IT!!!! You may find a mate, a FwB, a FB, or a hot NSA one nighter. As long as you don't have your hopes pinned on any particular outcome, you can enjoy the moment:biggrin:
