Women: At what age did you first became aware of the concept of using sex as a bargaining chip?

I'm not asking if you do it, or if you think it is right or wrong. Just how old you were when you became aware of it.

What do you think of women who do it, and guys that allow it to happen to them?

  • I love this question because it seems like most girls are aware of this power at a very young age. I was a weird awkward kid and teenager though so their powers never worked on me and when I was age 17-19 I actually enjoyed saying NO to hot chicks that tried to manipulate me to do things by being flirty. For me and the look of shock that comes across their face when they realize their powers are useless is hilarious. Once at a party a hot little blond girl was trying to get some of my party supplies from me by being all cute and when I straight up said NO get the heck out of here to her she was in total shock. The look on her face was priceless, it was as if I was the first person that ever told her no in her life lol.

    • Are party supplies what I think party supplies are? ;) lol

    • I totally get how she would've felt though! You probably were the first person to ever tell her no. I never hear no! But, I'm pretty AND smart with a good personality... I guess just "looks" doesn't work for everyone! lol

    • I'm not going to say what the party supplies were. I really did not care about attention from girls when I was young though, I could tell if they were just using me so I would ignore them and if they were persistent I would be rude to them and laugh in my head at their spoiled brat reaction. Thinking back I was being mean and sadistic but so were the girls in a way.

  • I believe all people should protect themselves from being used. Which is why I tell women not to sleep with a guy on the first night if you'll be upset by him not calling in the morning. Sure, maybe the guy wasn't right for using her for sex, but when you sleep with a guy after just meeting him that's kind of what you sign up for. The same is true in the reverse. If a guy is going to hand out all kind of favors and presents to a woman he barely knows in the hopes of getting sex, he shouldn't be pissed if he gets used.

    • Wow, that was really profound...Are you womens' gatekeeper? How about answering the question next time instead of giving an unsolicited, elementary opinion.

    • You asked in your update and I answered a**hole.

    • No, you didn't. Asshole

  • I think it was about 16/17. I was a late bloomer so I did not receive much attention until then. I all of the sudden got my figure right before I went on vacation and saw the changes. Guys would do anything it seemed, hold open doors, buy me things, compliment me, offer to do favors, etc. I had never felt so much positive attention. It was then I realized the power lol

  • Probably preteen because of television shows like Everybody Loves Raymond it seemed like sex was a horrible chore that women did for their husband like the laundry. So I learned that by giving a man sex men treat women nicely kind of like giving your friend a massage you don't get anything out of it.

  • Women who do it are sluts. It was meant to recreate and show someone that you love them. Guys that allow it are idiots for letting it happen.

  • I figured it out the summer before I turned 17 (a year ago) because guys started telling me how attracted they were to my body;however, I never have and never would use it, but that was when I became well aware that it would work.

  • i havent. I'm not even sure what you mean. 21.

    • oh, I see. using your body to get guys to do stuff for u. no. I wouldn't want to be represented by myself that way. 1. I don't like asking people to do things for me, I can very well do myself. its pathetic. 2. I see my sexuality, as something that should get attention, within a relationship. not any random guy. 3. I tend to steer clear of gender segeration,. behavior. 4. I don't use people, its unethical. 5. playing dumb/ helpless etc- is undignified. theres nothing appealing in any of it

    • and I don't think calling it is a bargaining chip. there's no bargain. a guy gets horny so you use it to your advantage. that's not a bargain., if you f*** him, its prostitution. i think an older male friend of mine, told me I should use my looks to my advantage last year. I didn't really think much of it. I don't think it really materialized in my mind as anything real.

  • I've never actually used sex as a bargaining chip, but I became aware very early when I first started developing that boys will do anything to remain in your favor. So probably about 6th grade is when I learned about the power of using the idea or promise of sex as power.

  • 14-15?

    The media, people at school, etc. Wasn't hard to figure out back then that most guys primarily focus on sex and a woman's sex appeal, and would do crazy sh*t to get it.

  • It's not. Period. I do not think like that. I wouldn't be with someone who would do it or someone who would allow it. Period.

  • Pretty much in high school I knew girls would do that with guys It's not right and usually comes back to bite them in the ass anyway

  • The women are crazy sociopaths, and the guys are idiots who fall for them... Oh poor things.

  • I was 14, it is wrong to me now, but then it was not.

  • i learned about it through an episode of The Apprentice... I think it was the first season, 2004. so I was 14. the participants had been split into two groups by gender and they had to come up with some kind of advertising for an airplane company (I think, hazy on the details). anyways, I believe the women went with a more suggestive form of advertising with the idea that 'sex sells'. and I think that theme was highlighted throughout the season.

  • I knew what prostitution was when I was like 6.

  • TODAY! its amazing! who would have thought?.. I needed something for me and a friend and someone had it so I slept with him for it.. it actually turned me on and he was hot

    • That's not using sex to gain power, that's being a whore...

    • Hahahha... I like that J_White90!

  • i think probably around 7th grade I knew it could be used as a bargaining chip. I think it actually became something that I consciously used/acted on until I was a freshman in HS though...

    • oops -- the word "until" should have been "when".. Lol

    • How did you use it for example?
