Uh, oh. The double standard is alive and well. Even after
having been denounced, over and over again, as a dinosauric relic, the double
standard still exists.
It’s bad news for those who thought that women could have
sex like men and not suffer any consequences… beyond an occasional pang of
shame.
Apparently, the human mind has another idea.
A woman who has more sex partners prior to marriage will be
less happy with her marriage. If a man does the same thing, it will not
influence his marital happiness.
The Daily Mail reports on the study from the University of
Virginia:
Women
who have several sexual partners before getting married have less happy
marriages - but men do no harm by playing the field,a study has found.
According
to new research by the National Marriage Project, more than half of
married women who had only ever slept with their future husband felt highly
satisfied in their marriage.
But
that percentage dropped to 42 per cent once the woman had had pre-marital sex
with at least two partners. It dropped to 22 per cent for those with ten or
more partners.
But,
for men, the number of partners a man they appeared to have no bearing on how
satisfied they felt within a marriage.
Researchers
said the study showed that sex with many different partners 'may be risky' if
the woman is in search of a high-quality marriage.
It
concluded: 'Remember that what you do before you say 'I do' seems to have a
notable impact on your marital future. So decide wisely.'
Forewarned is forearmed… so to speak.

Seems it is a single standard, so to speak. If it is double or more, it seems to apply to one sex, and not the other. Why do we receive such vehement protest otherwise, from feminists and other bohemian "free spirited" women? The truth hurts. A lot. As in... forever. Assuming such marriages last.
It may seen unrelated to this post in terms of the sex-before-marriage issue, but I've always believed the most conspicuous double-standard is found in American military cemeteries in the U.S. and around the globe. But you don't hear a bunch of yammering a activists carrying on about that topic of sex disparity, do ya? And that, my friends, is the most blatant, maddening nonsense of our age.
