Ask Me Anything: Post-Relationship "Slut" Phase?
chayswag asks: "Would you agree that once a girl has lost [her virginity] to the WRONG guy, and they break up, that that girl sort of goes through a little "slut" phase and sleeps around- or at least messes around a lot- before she decides to settle again?
Are guys like that? Why, if they are? What if you were in a very long relationship (say, four years, maybe five or six) that had a sexual aspect; is it easy for guys to just switch partners, after having one for so long? Personally, I can't imagine having sex with anyone but my boyfriend. x.x"
I like that you asked this question right after the idea of virginity. Though, I have to number this one.
If the girl was losing it to the wrong guy, there might be a chance she goes to that phase. But it is more likely when that a-hole boyfriend breaks up with her. After all, no woman wants to feel like she has been taken advantage of or had something like him inside. Right when a woman gets dumped by that "wrong guy", she is either looking for love that doesn't hurt or after that first love, she probably doesn't want to love again. Either way, if she does reach what you call a "slut phase", it's because the breakup will be as fatal and hard on the person, as it was sweet in the beginning. The more love you give to a person who doesn't love you the same way, the harder the breakup is going to be, when he dumps what was the best thing that ever happened to him.
The thing about sex is that its not love, and it doesn't have to include love. All she can do is just get herself some no-guilt cock and leave. No hurt, no emotional struggles, no problem. Right after that, she can seek someone who is worth the hurt for, if she likes. That's why you can't just go out with just anyone anymore. Your heart and your belief in love is always at stake, every time you happily kiss a boy, and not know his true motives with you.
But not all women get to that. Some women just take the ability to leave and avoid getting hurt all over again, and lead their own ability to move on. Women who leave their a-hole for greener grass wound up the happiest people, once they bump into something better than him. That's payback and a huge smirk at the man who though he had her controls all mapped out and worked around. She comes out unscathed, and the a-hole in question is left to play or hurt another day.
So, women pretty much will only go through that free booty phase, once she found that she has been given the penetration by men who played around and did serious damage to their heart. After that, it's like a wounded swimmer in a pool of feeding sharks.
Sometimes, guys are like this, too. The thing is guys aren't as dependent on emotion. Some acknowledge the idea of being horny, and are probably going to explore their sexuality anyway. Some are that sensitive, and some just go by the idea of common sense, or their feelings. If they are horny, they go and get them some booty. If they are heartbroken, they try to self-medicate it. Men aren't willing to just wallow, because of our need to uphold a strong and stern reputation. After all, sensitive men crying in their beer supposedly isn't much of a booty magnet. I wouldn't really know much about that. After all, I have never cried in front of a regular, random girl before.
As for the long relationship thing, some women would probably move on. It depends on how long you have been with him, and how much the relationship hurts, when it is over. Some guys just move on and try to screw it off, as a means of healing things. And some women would either move on and focus on their life, or be with whomever claims to love them.
It all comes down to you, and your current feeling about your relationship and your likely-to-be-ex-boyfriend. If you feel like it is completely torturous and hurtful, then you can take two roads: let him dump you, when he is the problem and leave you open to men looking for prey, or leave him and feel a little bit happier with your life in the meantime.
For example, a friend of mine has been with a complete a-hole of a man. Once she found strength and motivation to leave him, she wound up back home with a new boyfriend and much happier spirit. And her a-hole ex wound up with a prison sentence for some crime and legitimate children he has to raise. Another example is me. I was dumped by an ex I once spoke to. A friend of hers told me she is stressed, took up smoking, and the man wasn't treating her that good. Even the boyfriend at the time told me that she wasn't really happy. Meanwhile, I'm in happy spirits writing a segment about love and sex.
With that, I say: Karma's a beautiful biatch!
So, in order to avoid that aforementioned "slut phase", it helps to keep your heart, mind and your eye on how the boyfriend is treating you. If he is treating you good, then the loss would probably be easier, and no one gets hurt. But I hope there will be no loss. If he is an a-hole to you, then, girl, as much as I hate to say this and sound like a broken record, HAUL ASS!
Do you agree with my answer?

That pretty much applies to me. I lost my virginity over the summer to my ex-boyfriend, who happened to be one of my best guy friends too because he was actually my first boyfriend a while back and we stayed close. But after we broke up I was really angry about it, and I stooped down to the level of hooking up with the best friend of one of my other ex-boyfriend's. Before loosing my virginity, I would have NEVER thought about randomly hooking up with a guy, let alone the best friend of an ex-boyfriend, who I dated over a year for. After it happened, I just cared less about relationships and emotions.
Oh, come on. That picture was not necessary for this post. Hehe!
it does happen. i've been a witness to a bunch.
It's true that many girls go through the "vulnerability period" after the breakup.
I like this analysis, and the sensitive insight. good job.
I cannot tell you how many times I have seen girls do this in college. It happened to one girl I knew who went through a crazy "slut" phase (I heard she had a threesome and everything)-and now she is a mom. Another gir who the fist one had a threesome with didn't let guys she was with use a condom-EVER. I know other girls who've gone through that same phase after they broke off their engagement with their fiance-one girl cheated on her fiance and another girl just started sleeping around like crazy.
i always thought the same thing. lol i'm glad i wasn't the only one.
I don't know if I like the whole picture, but I like the way that you painted it.
Interesting topic but i'm sorry to say your responde read "blablabla" in my head . It's probably less likely to happen when the relationship has been good because the loss is harder to mourn, I think.
I'm not sure I understand the concept of losing your virginity to the WRONG guy. If at some point you loved/ trusted him enough you can't erase all that regardless of what happens after. I understand having regrets and wishing you had saved it longer/ for someone else/ for the ONE but this sounds like girls have no responsability.
@mysterygirl3000@xanga - I should probably give out the blog about virginity. The point i wrote about it is that men are worried about how to do it, and women who are virgins are worried about who it is best to lose it to. So, it is not that they have no responsibility. It is that we wonder how come they have so much trouble seeing a guy for what they are.
The emotional cost people have to pay for naivety in love is pretty high.
Man, according to the girl's question, then I'm in in "ultra slut phase," since my relationship with the initial guy that I lost my virginity to didn't even last 4 years.
I suppose so. In my case, my SO first wanted some booty from me since she was hurt from her previous relationships (plus her sex drive is probably higher than mine). I on the other hand wanted something deep (since it was my first real relationship)
couple of months later, she pretty darn happy that she found me, a man that a can treat her right ^^ the grass can be greener at the same time, it can be astroturf, so watch out!
Pretty accurate. What about the part where girls tend to make themselves believe that their exes were jerks even if they were not as bad as they make them out to be just so they can convince themselves to move on though hehe. That also leads to both of your outcomes, the slut or the closed off person who becomes more picky about the future. But yeah I agree with your analysis mostly.
I don't know any guys who cry in front of regular girls. I've cried on my own, or in front of a gf (when the time was appropriate) but never in front of another guy or girl.
Poly gaming is fun when u aint in a relationship. I did it beetween 13 and 20.
At 20, I had my first real girlfriend and it lasted 7 years with no cheating on my part.
I got another poly game period after that and that's when I meet my love. Meeting the great one made me monogamous :)
Maybe if ppl had more partners in their sexlives before getting married (or whatever it is that they do) they would cheat less
@Bamecus@xanga - Or they can pick a partner that is as sexually open as you are. Though, that can sometimes be like finding a piece of hay in the needlestack.
@ChOcOChObO@xanga - yaaay:)
@mynameisblueskye@xanga - I'm not sure u understood wha I said. I experimented beetween relationships but when i'm in love, i only look/kiss/touch one ass. I wasn't talking about open relationships.
I pretty much think you're right about both men and women doing that. It can be easy to lose sight of what the consequences really are of sleeping around.
Now it's over
i think thats true i went through a slut phase that i totally regret and it was soo un satisfiying and horrible but i learned from my mistake!!! i lost my virginity at 15 and the guy was 17 and he got inside my head and told me i was going to lose my virgiinity someday anyway and it didnt matter and it lasted like 5 minutes dead asss and it was horrible.....and i never talked to him after that day again.
@ihavechappedlips@xanga - Please explain to me what "the sight of the consequences really are of sleeping around" means.
@Bamecus@xanga - It's easy to not care about the consequences if you want something bad enough.
Now it's over
@ihavechappedlips@xanga - Sorry, my question wasn't clear. I'd like u to explain what are the consequences u are talking about.
@Bamecus@xanga - STDs, children, and a bad reputation
Now it's over
@ihavechappedlips@xanga - STDs and Children : try to use condoms :)
Bad reputation ... there will always be someone to criticize your choice. I prefers not to care about what ppl think.
