8 Ways to Make a Guy Not Want to Sleep with You
8 Ways to Make a Woman NOT Want to Sleep with You
I have addressed the low hanging fruit scenario previously, and you’re right; it presents conundrums. I share the tale of my own evolution to encourage others to do the same. I’m also on record as saying “You have to say the things and do the things that really matter to you today without hesitation, because you don’t know if you’re going to get another chance. Sometimes, tomorrow never comes. At the same time, you have to live with the awareness that every stone thrown into a pond sends ripples across the surface, and every choice you make today reverberates into your future. If you don’t want to deal with the repercussions of your actions tomorrow, you should consider the consequences of your decisions today carefully.

I’d have to wholeheartedly agree with Themis. The sexually liberated modern woman must remember her physiological responses to sex acts differ from her male counterpart’s. As long as females are the ones who give birth, we will always have more invested in sex. Our bodies and emotions are at stake in a way men’s cannot.
I love sex, but I do a horrible want-it/don’t-want-it dance in situations where the passion is flowing but I don’t know him very well. My body wants it, Lord help me, but I can’t get the following thoughts out of my mind: 1) this act in no way guarantees he has any actual affection for me (though he’s doing a great job of selling it in the moment–I used to fall for this a lot) and 2) it’s going to hurt like hell a week from now when he stops returning my calls. The game used to be worth the consequences, when I was learning the ropes, but at the ripe old age of 24 I am emotionally drained from the cycles: Buildup/letdown, emotional connection/disappearing act. So yes, we do indeed have our reasons for withholding.
