Letters & Opinion
Dear Lady V
My beef with the female sex is that there are tons of sexual etiquette rules that are not told to most men, except through trial-and-error, usually turning out badly, and having friends go through it, in which case you learn by hearsay.
For example, never have sex unless you plan to date them or are interested in them afterward, assuming no lies about such interests are told.
While taking virginity, it is assumed that you have to make it rather special and preferably be in love with them first.
If you take virginity and then break up with the girl anywhere between zero to 12 months later, you are an asshole.
While some of these emotions may be reasonable, it’s silly to expect everyone to know these things. Not everyone learned these things in high school. Some people are going through these things for the first time in college, and while it may not be fun or romantic to talk about, it’s important. I screwed up at least one to two times personally because I didn’t know about these rules. You can call me as boneheaded as you like, but how am I supposed to know? They certainly don’t teach that in health class. And generally, read with tongue in cheek.
