You could be right Zoe. I guess a part of it is, for women at least, sex isn’t always a ‘given’ as a good time. Where as with men 95% of the time it is gonna end the same way. Hmmm or is it 98% *g*. So as a woman if you have a brain you are going to learn at some point one night stands aren’t worth the trouble of taking off your clothes.

At the same time… it is easy to SAY if this happened I would do this. When the chances of that happening are uh slim. Soooo who knows. At the heart of it, I hate generalizations.

gwen, gwen, gwen… it is tough being the the good girl in this group I tell ya

I’ve discussed this many times with my deeply wonderful husband, and he and I both concur that yes, in the “real” world, an unattached man wouldn’t kick a naked starlet from his bed. But we’re not talking about the “real” world or even men in general–we’re talking about *heroes*.
Heroes don’t operate on the same code as men. We expect them to be better than men. That’s why they’re heroes in romance and not, say, the protagonist of a Jonathan Franzen novel.

That just means he is sexist too. And that you are both whorzes!

I like that about you though.

I’m with bam. Hell – if a nekkid hunk shook his (erect and of a certain size) wanger at me and said “Do me” I would. I don’t even think I’d get all my clothes off before I did. And, no, it actually doesn’t even embarrass me to admit that! (surprised me too)

As someone who’s work has been rejected because the hero was deemed “too real mannish,” I— actually, I have no point. I just wanted to point that out.

If I were a dude, however, and unattached… and a naked starlet shook her chachas at me and threw herself at me, I’d do her.

It’s hard, isn’t it, to see where the fiction ends and real life begins? I’m kinda on the fence about this one, but when I’ve got a man telling us little women what we should accept and not accept that just puts a little bur under my saddle.

Men, really, are not animals. Hard for us women to admit, but really it’s true. They make poor choices but then so does anyone. It’s just poor logic to make that sort of comment about “real men”.
