Modern Sex
The males of most species are opportunistic about sex, ever on the ready and always on the prowl for females willing and ready to reproduce.
A study found women were just as capable as men of having no strings attached sex. But a double standard applied. Women still needed to manage their sexual encounters to avoid being stigmatized and marginalized for their sexual choices, whereas men had no such issue.
Studies have shown that although both men and women want emotional commitment, commitment was more important to women, and women often have sex hoping that things will evolve into a relationship.
Being higher order beings, we can control our emotions and our biological urges. However, this takes work, experience and maturity. The impact of wanting to bond with someone who does not want to bond can leave women feeling disappointed, confused and sometimes hurt.
Most women cannot have a sexual encounter and not feel hurt if a man does not call again and clearly, has no intention to do so.
Does drinking have anything to do with an increase in casual sex? If she cannot do it sober perhaps she shouldn't be doing it at all. Liquid courage to have sex often ends in liquid tears afterward.
