Are Women Too Insecure To Have Sober Sex?

A recent study tries to convince us. We aren't buying it, though.

The Daily Mail released another one of their sensational studies yesterday. This time the researchers cast their glare to women, drinking and their ability (or lack thereof) to have sex sober. "One in 20 women has NEVER had sex sober as they lack body confidence" screams the headline. Sober Dating: How To Date Without Drinking

According to a study of 3, 000 women aged 18-50, the average chick has had sex with over half of their sexual partners while drunk. On at least two occasions said ladies haven't remembered the name of the guy lying next to them. But keep in mind, the average number of sex partners amongst this pool is "8," so it isn't as if these numbers are staggering. An extra Pinot Noir with dinner certainly isn't turning this sample set into booze-drenched harlots.

The article goes on to say that three-quarters claim to feel more relaxed and able to "let their hair down" after a few cocktails. Four out of 10 have been tipsy when sleeping with someone for the first time. The Smoking-Hot Reason To Avoid First-Date Sex

This is what we like to call "The Sky Is Blue" news. Recovering alcoholics and teetotalers aside, most of us douse ourselves in alcohol during the early parts of courtship. Of course the amount varies, as does one's relationship with the substance, but as those abstaining from booze have noted—dating without it is awkward. In the same way dancing becomes easier once you've had a cocktail or two. Not that we need alcohol, mind you, but its a familiar crutch that doesn't have to signify a big problem like the Mail is suggesting.

The fact alcohol plays an integral role in their love lives shows that women are looking for a boost in self-esteem when it comes to their bedroom antics. Whilst many women claim they only drink before sex because it is part of the dating process, a large percentage will actually refuse to get between the sheets without a bit of Dutch courage. But in doing so many women will be losing self control and this is when drunken one-night stands are more likely to occur.

Can you relate?

Women choose not to be sober. Yes, some of us have insecurities, if not all! I have never stooped that low. That is degrading yourself as a women and as an individual. Men take advantage of the fact of some women are drunk and tha is why I stay out of the bars. It is ridiculus. Of cours it is not just the males fault either. Don't think I am being bias because I am not. I just hve morals and I love by them and will do so for the rest of my lfe.

Wow! I disagree with this but have no grounds to say so. Have women changed so much in the 23 years since I married my wife? I really do not think so. I do not think women work this way. Help me to understand...

Lets just say there is some truth to it. Some women need a little liquid courage, some don't. I wouldn't be so concerned about a few after dinner cocktails, but as the article says, be very concerned with a woman who is constantly getting drunk before heading home with a guy, as is shown by Mr. "Wellbuilt007" up top.
