| NZ: No dating, thanks, just sex |
| 2009-03-30 |
| Dating culture is dead - instead, young New Zealand women are regularly getting drunk and cruising around in packs looking for men to have sex with. That's one of the findings of a TVNZ Sunday investigation into the sexual behaviour of New Zealand women. The programme makers did the story after Kiwi women last year topped the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey as the world's most promiscuous. They are reported to have an average of 20 sexual partners, double that of their Australian and British counterparts and almost three times the global average of seven. TVNZ Sunday correspondent Janet McIntyre said there was anecdotal evidence from the five women on the show that the Durex survey findings were valid. "There's a new kind of mating ritual sex is the point of entry into the relationship." If the first-up sex wasn't any good women weren't prepared to waste their time progressing the relationship. "There's no dating culture any more." In candid interviews about their sexual experiences some of the women who are all in their twenties felt empowered by having sex and wanted to celebrate and enjoy it. McIntyre said all the women who had experienced one-night stands had been affected by alcohol, a term described by at least one expert in a report as "getting pissed and hooking up". Men are also feeling the impact from the new sexual tactics being employed by women. The Sunday Star-Times' Being a Bloke survey last year found that 29% of the 5000 men surveyed felt they had been pressured into having sex or had had sex unwillingly. |

| #13 Frankly speaking today's economic factors (aka men who dont/cant/wont earn enough to look after kin and hearth AND feminism have compelled the majority of women to go out and work like men, and compete like men...so its hardly suprising when they are more hardcore than in the housewife years? However, being a working woman doesnt mean a woman needs to be a floozie. The moral hazard with that joke is, the Suprizing Frenchie is revolting, if men like that would only wear signs on their heads indicating to that effect that they were such sleazebuckets, women, men, and daughters everywhere would be safer. |

| #12 These young females feel "empowered by having sex and wanted to celebrate and enjoy it" -- so they have to get "pissed" to do that? Dunno about the Kiwis, but most of the things I do which I want to celebrate and enjoy are not things I have to get drunk for. Superbowl being an obvious exception. |

| #11 Women are the new men? With an approach to sexuality closer to gay men? The wonders of a feminized society. Though anonymoose may certainly right to beware that kind of "analyzing". OT, remind sme of a bad joke turned into a skit line y a french comedian, something in the lines (I can't tell a joke) of "today's wimmen drink like men, they smoke like men, they swear like men, but even with they, they get surprized when you f0ck them up the @ss". Oh, well. |

| #8 I've also noted a disgusting trend of young women decorating themselves with skanky tattoos that would put a WWII sailor to shame. |

| #7 Posted by: GirlThursday 2009-03-30 09:36 Thank God not all women are so twisted as to think casual hook ups are "point of entry" to relationships. Who knew? |

| #6 Women are the new men? Sad, very sad. Watch out brothels, these hookers are giving you a run for your money. Gone are the days when the majority of women were seen as civilizing, nurturing influences. Thank God not all women are so twisted as to think casual hook ups are "point of entry" to relationships. After all,not all differences of personalit and opinion can just be patched up in bed. |

| #5 "Everybody lies about sex." - Lazarus Long The companion piece to this silliness should be on a survey about gullibility in TVNZ investigators being at 0%. Also note that the study was funded by Durex, which is surely an unbiased retailer of condoms. |

| #4 ...or men in a different chassis. So they're behaving like so many adolescent/young males. Their rates in stress related illnesses and crime are on the rise as well to catch up with males. Not so much liberation as homogenization. |

| #3 I forget who it was who said it, but I think it's true, feminism did't liberate women so much as turn them into unpaid whores. |
