Cant get laid? come to New Zealand :)

[garry29]

I don't see anything wrong with casual sex from a morale standpoint. But I agree that it can be destructive behavior for some (not all) people.

Heh, if I was that desperate to get laid (I haven't reached that stage yet), I'd have gone to a prostitute. Much less trouble and no major difference.

EDIT: Actually, I think I'm nearly at that stage, so I'll probably do it. only because I'm not going to risk myself dying as a virgin...Even if that risk of dying is not over the top...

I never questioned the existence of bad people. It's not like I can enumerate all the bad things in the world, but to me it looks obvious that the bad things have greater consequences than the good things.

I'm totally confused. You said that you feel as thought there are 'more bad people than good people and its getting worse'. The way I interpret that is that you believe there are more bad people than good and that there are more bad people now than in the past?

What's good about them? If they're like that it's because they have issues. There's nothing wrong with having issues, but often those kind of issues lead to bad behaviours.

I don't know what's good about them because I don't know them. But putting them under the title of "bad", in my opinion, is just ridiculous! Save that title for rapists and murderers, eh? Not people who enjoy a drink and consensual sex.

This is exactly how I feel.

I'm not going to judge anyone, if someone wants to go around and have sex with a bunch of people that is their decision. They should just be ready to face any of the possible consequences.

The Sunday Star-Times' Being a Bloke survey last year found that 29% of the 5000 men surveyed felt they had been pressured into having sex or had had sex unwillingly.

This is not cool.

Dating culture is dead - instead, young New Zealand women are regularly getting drunk and cruising around in packs looking for men to have sex with.

Isnt that just like britain?

 

[iamthenra]

Sounds discusting...just to go around and sleep with anyone. Im turned off! Just sounds like noone cares about there body or themselves.

I totally agree!!! As desperate as I am wanting to loose the "V" card at 41, I don't want nothing to do with promiscuous people who have no respect for themselves.... Sounds disgusting to me....

Yes, because the rapidly increasing flow of information is normalizing reckless behaviors and those reckless behaviors can often lead to bad things happening.

I don't know what's good about them because I don't know them. But putting them under the title of "bad", in my opinion, is just ridiculous! Save that title for rapists and murderers, eh? Not people who enjoy a drink and consensual sex.

My comment wasn't about people who enjoy a drink and have consensual sex because the article is not even about that.

That's not enjoying a drink and having consensual sex. That's just being plain stupid.

McIntyre said all the women who had experienced one-night stands had been affected by alcohol, a term described by at least one expert in a report as "getting pissed and hooking up".

Yesss, I'm so sure the girl is fully aware of what she's doing when she's drunk. Maybe New Zealand women are not affected by alcohol like other humans? They could easily get raped or worse. Or maybe they have STDs and are passing it around unknowingly or unwillingly. Ah, no, probably not, because those women have a really strong moral fiber in them. And if they get pregnant? Uhmm, it's okay. It's just a baby, no big deal!

So it's okay for a girl to do it but when it's a guy who does it then it's horrible?

I do agree that calling them "bad" people was wrong. They're not my favourite kind of people though, that's for sure.

lol @ this thread was meant for a laugh and everyone got super-serious

:: sometimes i get worked up

It's not OK. Men are as much to blame for the persistent stereotype of 'always being up for it', though. A lot of men would call me gay just for holding this point of view.

 

[Lost Girl]

I get what you're saying, Newtype, its all good.
I don't think that what this article reports these girls are getting up to is great behaviour by any means, I just don't feel that they are bad people, thats all I'm sayin'.

:: sometimes i get worked up

::We all do.

Judging is cool guys.

In retrospect, I can understand where someone would find it disgusting given how you might have been raised or your morals. But someone having casual sex is their own choice and really as long as they're using protection and being safe it shouldn't be a big deal. I can understand where Serafina is coming from. Would I personally do this myself, never but you can't judge someone based on your own precedent, that's being bias.

Completely agree.

Not everyones morals are the same but people have the right to make their own life choices.

We've already been through this. The topic is not even about safe, consensual sex. Read my previous comment.

I hope you're not referring to me because I've read your comments and I was just voicing my opinion on the subject, not yours particularly.

No I wasn't.

 

[Predacon]

I have to say I think that story gives a poor view of New Zealand while I'm sure there are people like that. I have no doubts most countries have those sorts of people roaming bars and nightclubs on Friday and Saturday nights looking for some sort of drunken rendavous.

 

[Hellhound]

When a woman does something like this it's pathetic, but when a man does it it's "cool"? This is one of the points where the feminists are actually right.

I hear a lot of that crap here where I live and it angers me so much...
