One in 20 women has NEVER had sex sober as they lack body confidence (UK)
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 09/22/2009 9:02:39 PM PDT by traumer

Millions of women drink alcohol before having sex because they lack confidence in their bodies, a study has found.

Almost half of those questioned said they preferred sex while under the influence of alcohol because it helped them to lose their inhibitions and be more adventurous.

Researchers, who surveyed 3,000 women aged between 18 and 50, found the average woman has slept with eight men, but was drunk with at least five of them.

On two of these occasions they couldn't even remember the man's name the next day.

Three quarters of women claimed they felt more able to let their hair down and go wild after a few drinks.

Four out of ten have 'always' been a bit tipsy when they have slept with a partner for the first time. But astonishingly 48.5 per cent said they preferred sex while under the influence.

I generally don’t brag about sexual conquests but I have been the male participant in one of these things.

We had a woman in our department who liked to drink, maybe too much. One night after a work party, here and I were the last two left. We went back to her place. You can guess the rest.

She wasn’t fat or unattractive - but afterwards I suspected she had esteem issues. I got that conclusion from talking to several guys in our department who had been with her too.

“Millions of women drink alcohol before having sex because they lack confidence in their bodies, a study has found.”

I’ll never understand women. For the fellas, whatever looks you have are only important insofar as they get you into bed. After that, they’re irrelevant.

Plus, agreeing to have sex with me is all the reassurance I need that she, if not finds me attractive, then at least isn’t totally repulsed by me.

Rita Rudner said this at least a decade ago.

“I find it ironic that liquor bottles have warnings that pregnant women shouldn’t drink it. If it wasn’t for alcohol, most women wouldn’t be that way.”

So that Britain’s Got Talent lady was only 1 in 20, not 1 in a million after all.

I know some women who still can’t find a guy good enough to match their ex boyfriend whom they dumped 10 years ago because he wasn’t good enough.

5 tips for women out there:
1 If you’re like most women, you’re probably average. Stop holding out for Richard Gere. He’s a “Dick” anyway.
2 You’re not a goddess.
3 Make up and clothes don’t survive the marriage bed. If you want a real makeover, work on your personality.
4 Sex is sacred. If you need alcohol to get you through it, make sure it’s Chianti.
5 Dependable men take a while to warm up. You can have 1 marshmallow now or 2 later. It’s up to you.

1 in 20, that’s 5%. Not a high percentage. I would say this is no hair off the arse of society.

Good, because there's nothing to brag about. Sex is so commonplace that any guy who feels the need to brag about having sex probably feels insecure about themselves. These type of men seek the praise of other men, and feel a sense of accomplishment when a male buddy pats them on top of the head and says "You did well".

I am surprised it is that small a percentage. With some of my female friends, I understand they would have to be a little drunk or they would not be with whom they are with.

Reminds me of the govt funded study wanting to find out why hot cheese on pizza burned your mouth. Note to those who like these studies, if you sleep with a bar fly, you might go home with crabs.

Okay, have people actually looked at the typical British woman? Their husbands, boyfriends and girlfriends (it is Europe you know) probably have to get drunk before having sex with them too.

I have an idea that there are some women who have turned to other women for commitment and sex because they have such an inferiority complex about their bodies. I know one such woman.
