Now this isnt an attempt at trolling its an actually question. I have known many women and after they hit 21 they all just become the worst voracious horn dog I have ever seen. Personally as a 21 year old male I find this very very disgusting and am to the point where I dont want to have sex, possibly ever. If you feel offended, calm down, this isnt nessisarily directed at YOU. I just want to know what is it that causes this change? And can anything be done about it? -x out ---

As long as you’re vowing not to have sex ever, why should it bother you who is having sex? Perhaps they’ve just decided there’s no sense in waiting for you, since you’re going to follow the celibate life. Good luck, chum. ---

> [@](#): > > i just want some information OK, here’s some information: Women do not automatically become “the worst voracious horn dog” when they turn 21. I’m sure some women do start having sex more often than they did before; what’s the problem? What is it that bothers you so deeply about women having sex? And what on earth do you want to “do about it”? That’s kind of creepy. Anyhoo, let me check my watch… Yep, it’s 2003. Women can do what they want. Sorry. ---

Well how is that nessisarally fair? Being a 17 year old guy (an adult in a few days) and never have had a relationship with a girl, I of a lot of people have a right to complain about women, but you know what…I know better. If I have learned anything in my almost 18 years by myself, its that if I feel that all women behave a certain way, thats because I’ve got myself into a rut of only paying attention to those who act that way. In other words, if you are upset that all women over 21 are sluts, then you arent even trying to look. As long as you have that prejudice in your head, you are going to find slutty women everywhere, to the point of ignoring the ones who truely arent. Something tells me you just need to take a little bit away from spazing about women. Frankly, if you are that willing to characterize women that quickly, you need a good deal of time away. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by jackelope \* > \*\* > Anyhoo, let me check my watch… Yep, it’s 2003. Women can do what they want. Sorry. \*\* As much as I would love to agree with you for the subject matter, I have to disagree. If a million people say a wrong thing, its still a wrong thing. Even though I’m not Catholic, I do agree with the Pope once said that “The truth isnt always majority decision.” What I mean is, this guy has reason to be concerned if he feels women are acting like hooches. “trying to do something about it” is not a choice, but I still feel that those women who choose to be sluts are wrong, despite whether they can “do what they want”. What can I do about it? Nothing. Its their choice ultimately, but that doesnt make it any more right or wrong. The real problem here is that Xeno isnt noticing the nice moral women anymore. ---

look i was posting from my small feeble little mind and expericance. I am sorry for making generalizations. I am sorry if i offended any of you. that was not my intent. let me restate this question better. The 5 women that i know have all undergone a very sudden change within 6 months after turning 21. They all have lots of sex with various people, sometimes unprotected. I just want to know is there anything that I as a friend can do, to help them from getting hurt or worse. -xout ---

Ah much better worded! I know a lot of people are probobly going to say something along the lines of “its none of your buisness if they have sex or not”. I can honestly say that if I were in your shoes, I would be concerned as well. The sad truth of the matter is, there really isnt anything you can do. If you really are bent and determined, I sudgest you atleast talk to them about it. The chances of that stopping them is slim to none, but atleast you’ll have some peace of mind as to why they are doing it, and they hopefully will learn not to discuss it around you. If it were me, I wouldnt even sudgest they use protection. I dont feel people need to be having sex before marrage as it is, so any problem that comes along their way for not using common sence is unfortunately just what happens in life. Chances are, they’ve heard the “use condoms” speach 15 gagillion times as it is. ---

Calm down guys, he’s not trying to pick a fight, like he said. I think he’s been pretty non-trollish about it, he just doesn’t know how things work around here very well. Welcome to the boards, **xenothrope** , maybe you’d like to look around a bit before you post. You’ll find that some questions are taken a little more personally than others. So let this be a learning experience, and hopefully you hang around. P.S. Capital letters help a lot 😉 -foxy ---

but condoms and premarital sex is much better than no condoms and getting HIV (btw im not really religous and have had premarital sex but it was monogomous and safe, as well as thinking i WOULD marry her… beside the point) ---

So…if all your male friends, aged 21 and over are walking around with perpetual hard-ons and are always thinking about getting sex, do you think of _them_ as sluts? Why or why not? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-do-women-become-sluts-after-they-turn-21/152029.md?page=2)
