Why are women often expected to be perfectly clean and well‑groomed before intimacy, while men aren’t held to the same standards?

@slimywitch If not, they should be. Really disgusting to think any guy would not hold himself to the same standards as a woman when it comes to physical intimacy.  Example: I have/had an Escort friend in Vista that I went to see after watching her videos on YouTube. You can bet the farm that I had showered, bathed and was squeaky clean everywhere before going to see her, AND of course, I expected the same from her and she was. With a girlfriend I had in my 20's I had my mouth and tongue EVERYWHERE, and never worried that I would find anything objectionable with her body,  I am sorry that you have had an experience other than that. My mother, sorry to say, married a pig like that, with my father. Rest her soul

I don't know about other guys, but I would never expect a woman to be intimate with me if I was nasty.

I take pride in my self care & grooming, and always respect myself, and my partner, enough to maintain my hygiene prior to engaging in intimacy.

Hold your horses. What slobs are you going for, missy? A guy most certainly should be well groomed and clean if his gal is! No one wants to be intimate with a stinky, unkempt person.

I don't know, but as a woman you should set the same standard as how hygienic you are

For the same reason that men are expected to confident and lead while women get to be lazy sacks of 💩 in this area.😆

Both genders have thier expectations put upon them by society. Don't like it? Change genders. That is an option now. Either way, better get used to the fact that this 💩 ain't changing.😆

One of many gender double standards I am afraid, Maybe women should stop hooking up with poor goroomed guys? That should change behaviors pretty quickly lol

Ingrained social “double standards” that have existed for generations.

Men are held to whatever standards their partner demands.

In my opinion the same standards should apply to both.

It’s bullshit, men need to step up with style. It’s annoying seeing guys dressed so slovenly.  Withhold affection I say lol 😂

Men better have all their junk clean too or I'm not going down there!

I have dated women who have clearly communicated for me to keep my balls and dick area shaved before we planned to have sex... It just made sex more exciting
