Clubbing and drinking always seems to raise the age old question: is it okay to hook up with your friends? You’re mates; it’s a bit of fun or a last resort, but is it okay to do this or should you stick to snogging strangers (even if they are less acceptable than your mate)?
What’s the go with this new trend of girls kissing other girls when they’re under the influence of alcohol? I’m sure we have all been subjected to a bit of girl on girl action before and I know for a fact the guys love it when the girls get all frisky with each other. However, what has influenced this sudden urge to make out with your best friend?
One article of ours that got heaps of attention earlier this year discussed whether nightclub photographers should consider the implications of taking raunchy photos of scantily clad girls making out and doing other provocative things (i.e. showing off their hot bods). Though that article was more so about how all this affected photographers, I’d like to take a stab at this issue from another angle; why are these bloody girls pashing each other to begin with?
A make-out spot seems to be anywhere these days. Gone are the bed and lounge being the ideal places to plant a pash. Bring on the kitchen benchtop, the beach and even the bathroom. But is sneaking a dirty romp in a nightclub bathroom taking it one step too far? Below are a few reasons why shagging in the bathroom should be kept for at-home only activities.
Nightclubs are full of the evil temptations of the world, from getting drunk, drug use, acting violent, being an egotistical knob, and the big one, trying to get laid by a stranger. Though our better judgment tells us not to fool around if you’re already in a relationship and that we should just say no in the beautiful face of temptation, it’s often not that simple.
So we’ve all been there. That time you got really drunk and kissed a stranger at a club. What’s even worse is when you can remember just how bad they were at kissing. Kissing isn’t something that we are taught at school (or even encouraged to do at school), but something that we kind of pick up on the way.
Kissing is a big deal. Who demoted it to the same level of significance as a hand shake or a high five? Kissing someone is giving them initiation rites into a secret club, two people who have kissed the same person have something in common they would have not had before. They can mutually brag about you as a conquest/compare notes.
Wow, people are so deluded. Really they are. Especially when it comes to the opposite sex. It’s like everything you ever learned through logic becomes completely irrelevant and really stupid stuff seems like gospel.
I don’t know why, maybe it’s pressure or self esteem or whatever. Doesn’t matter. You’re a victim, I’m a victim, everyone’s done it.
Lesson number one: THERE ARE NO ‘BAD KISSERS.’ Before you may travel the enlightened path of hooking up you must first learn and accept this noble truth. Someone once told me, “there are no bad kissers, only incompatible ones.”
Girls are the best. Girls are cool and smart and great and we smell nice and know how to get rid of hair and make our fingernails look sexy. We could rule the world, we could. We just don’t want everyone to know how actually amazing we are. But, so much awesomeness needs some boundaries and hence us girls have the Unspoken Rules of Feminism. Sadly, it has occurred
