Women have less sex than their Grans did!

The title of this just amused me. I've written a few articles about how womens roles are different, and their views to sex are different, so I won't get to far into it. Comments like "Women have less sex than their Grans did" really does bring home just how times of changed. My Mum thinks at twenty one, I should be in a long term relationship, considering settling down, doing all the things she did. She was pregnant with my sister at eighteen, had her second baby at twenty one, and then me when she was twenty nine. She dedicated her life to bringing us up, and making home for my Dad. That's what the majority of her life has been about. There's nothing wrong with that. At all. She has had a lot of joy and good times out of bringing us up. I want more though, I want the career, and the family, eventually. I'm in no rush. I think she thinks I'm wasting time. I just think like alot of women of my generation.

Prima magazine have done a study on this, and there results showed that with the changing roles of ladies. Women are single for longer, and concentrate more on their careers now. In the 1950's women were getting married at 24 and having babies at 25. Now it's married at 28, babies at 29. Also in the 1950's women were more likely to be stay-at-home wives. They concentrated on keeping their husbands happy. They had more regular sex, and concentrated alot harder on making the relationship work. Now we have our own lives and careers to juggle, without worrying about our partners. Women are much more independent.

I don't really know what to make of all this. I much prefer the times we live in now. To think that my role in life would be to keep a man happy, just doesn't do it for me. there is alot more to life. Having said that, maybe there are certain things we can learn from times gone by. Maybe we are truely missing out on more than we realised. Relationships seem to be put on th back burner, until we sort other things out. Maybe they should be more important. A career is good. A social life is good. Independence is good. Love is great.

I would have to agree Karma, that I'm not sure where they'd got these results from, but I'm guessing it would be young on both counts too.

Women are supposed to be "super mom" now. We should hold a full time career (not just a job, but a career), take care of the house, take care of the children, and still have time for school functions, socializing, and spending time with the hubby.


There's just so much to balance now, that it is difficult. Being a Mother is a huge job in its self, without all the extras that are expected now.

I think that the world would be better if Mom's went back to the 50's way of life. Stay home with the kids so you know what they are doing. Take care of the house and make life comfortable and less stressful for everyone.


For society as a whole it would be better. To give kids a full time parent, who just concentrated on them, and their home life, how could they not benefit?

Here's a question: why is it that most women don't wear dresses or skirts anymore?


I think Andy has it to a point, it does depend on age. Though i think female see it as more than that in cases. There were points in time when they weren't allowed to wer trousers. They are now celebrating a much more male role in society, and this must have a little to do with it at least!

I have to say I wear Jeans ALOT because we walk everywhere and the only great walking shoes I have that match my clothes (Yes I'm a girl) are my black leather school shoes
However whenever I know we're going somewhere in a car I will revel in not wearing my school shoes and depending on the weather I won't wear jeans but I may wear black or other type of pants -- because its WINter!!! and it's COLD -- (and I'm really lazy when it comes to leg hair in winter - hey no one can see your legs when they're under 1 or 2 pairs of pants)

I love skirts and dresses -- but these days the dresses they make for women my age aren't really appropriate for just going shopping -- they're party/cocktail dresses and with a baby who goes to those?!!?
And the skirt style for my age group (and size) is just gross -- its those mini-mini skirts that my 16yo sister -- I have a hard time finding a nice mid length skirt -- they're either ankle length (and paisley - like hippy) or 30cm above the knee -- which just isn't me (and it isn't appropriate for a mother)

Plus Pants are comfortable -- jeans, tailored pants, crepe pants, linin, pinstripe -- they make pants for every occassion -- work and casual and party -- and you don't have to worrry about skirt length ankle/knee crossing -- sitting under a desk like at a reception desk with a glass front like at the place I used to work it was a good idea to wear pants.

Trina, being an English bloke, (and obviously an immature one at that), I can't help but smile at the use of the words "pants" in that last post. Pants, in England, means underwear, normally men's tacky Y-fronts. So I hope you can appreciate the different slant your comments hold for us English. A good post though

Trina you really make me giggle! I know exactly where you're coming from though. It is difficult to wear a skirt because of the things you do. I do enjoy wearing a skirt now again. I'm the same in winter though, I say letthat hair grow baby! Hehe! I think it's nice to dress up now and again though. Skirts make me feel sexy! Though I never wear dresses, I hate them with a passion!
