Women have sexual desires just like men do.

When I was in college (aged 16-19, I live in the UK) I was sexually active and more so than most of my friends. Although I did have one or two more meaningful relationships during this time, the majority of my sexual encounters were casual, and I was OK with that. I wasn't interested in starting a serious relationship at that age because I felt I was too young, but I enjoyed sex. All of my sexual experiences at this age were safe, consensual, and mutually enjoyed. However, I was labeled a slut for exploring my sexuality, whilst the guys I had relationships with were congratulated for it. I guess that's when it really started to piss me off. I remember talking to one of my friends about this and they explained it as thus: "A lock that can be opened with a number of keys is a shitty lock, but a key that can open any lock is a master key"... the keys being men and the locks being women. Women have sexual desires just like men do. But if we have the audacity to express or explore those desires, we become sluts. Damaged goods. Shitty locks. - Charlotte
