--- Quote from: Black Sword on 19 Feb 2014, 08:53 ---Male or female, SEX ON THE FIRST DATE IS SLUTTY, NOT EMPOWERING. Please note that I am including BOTH genders. Penis or vagina, there's no solid justification.
--- End quote ---
First off, it wasn't really their first date, they've known each other for a while, even if this was their first formal date (which trainwrecked). That being said, yeah I think they probably did rush sex, because they haven't known each other that long, and yes I agree it's not empowering, but it's also not slutty. It's just sorta, rushing things and poor decision making.
There is a pretty wide shade of gray between empowering and slutty.
Also for what it's worth, one of the best relationships I ever had was with a guy I just had sex with one day because I was horny, and really wanted to fuck someone. Then AFTERWARDS I got to know him, and found out we were extremely compatible. I hardly remotely recommend this as a technique for finding a long term partner, as it was mostly a fluke, but for crying out loud, doesn't make you slutty to enjoy having sex with someone. Just wear a fucking condom.
--- Quote from: Black Sword on 19 Feb 2014, 08:53 ---For men and women, one's first sexual experience is considered a mark of becoming an adult.
--- End quote ---
I said it up higher on this page, but I'll say it again.
Sex is neither as good or as evil as you've built it up to be. The media, the people, who tell you it's the greatest thing ever? That it's what makes you an adult? They're bloody fucking crazy, you're the same person before and after having sex, just a little stinkier after sex, until after you've showered. Hell, for the average person, their first time having sex is kinda lame, because they're too wrapped up in the nonsense of trying to perform right, or rush to the orgasm, instead of just enjoying it. That's something you learn to do over time, nobody seems to get it at first.
--- Quote from: Black Sword on 19 Feb 2014, 08:53 ---Even after the likely heartbreak, sex remains something special, something shared with someone important. Sex isn't just sex, it's emotions, drives, needs, desires, and more besides. I'd even go so far as to say that sex is a sacred experience for humans because of all the intangibles that go into it. Trust, attraction, creation, vulnerability, and more that I don't even have names for.
--- End quote ---
For some people yes, but for some people no. For me? Yeah, it is. I can't have sex with someone I don't share an emotionally bond with because the emotions are too sloppy. Many other people can and there is nothing wrong with them, OR with people like me (and Martin). It's just natural variations on human sexuality.
For what it's worth? Dale and Marigold did have emotion behind it, they weren't having sex for the sake of sex, they were having sex because they were caught up in powerful infatuation emotions. Perhaps not the wisest thing, but they were not having sex to just to have sex or to get rid of their virginities.

Yep, good post!
Edit: Huh, now this went on the next page. Then I'd better actually put in the citation.
Zebediah:
Is it possible to make a copy of an AnthroPC's mind and load it into another chassis, so that I too can have a Momo who will talk sense into me when I'm feeling needlessly down on myself?
Schmorgluck:
--- Quote from: Y on 19 Feb 2014, 09:25 ---Is it bad that I only realized today that they had sex? I assumed based on her face expression in 2638 panel 3 that she dragged him to the door without saying a word, then proceeded to shower.
--- End quote ---
It's... kinda bad, because now you'll have to tell us what you thought Momo was worried about the use Marigold could do of the syrup on her own, in the following strip. :-D
GarandMarine:
--- Quote from: Schmorgluck on 19 Feb 2014, 09:04 ---Then I'm outing myself as a slut. And I'm proud of it. I'll be adding it to my sig right now.
--- End quote ---
*high fives Schmorg and better then half the other posters here*
It's good to be a man whore. Even if I am normally monogamous I am all for people fucking consenting partners basically whenever they feel like it and 100% free of judgement for that act.
It is an empowering act to choose to fuck on the first date, or not, or never, or RIGHT NOW! Because you're making the choice! Judging other people's choices? That's attempting to strip their power.
Karilyn:
--- Quote from: Mlle Germain on 19 Feb 2014, 09:05 ---Well, I've been off the circuit, so to speak, for a while now, but I seem to remember when EVERY guy had protection on hand ALL the time. 'Cause you just never know.
--- End quote ---
I wish I was where you live, because in my experience that's woefully grossly untrue. Then again I live in THE SOUTH, land of abstinence only sex-ed, and wall to wall insane and dangerous attempts at making people feel ashamed about having sex, so much shame that they are too busy feeling shame to actually prepare and be safe for sex when it does happen.
I'm the woman and I'm the one who has to provide the condoms every fucking time I swear. I wind up handing them out to random guys on a regular basis who I see getting close to getting laid with someone else, because I'm like CHRIST ALMIGHTY USE A FUCKING CONDOM THIS ISN'T A GODDAMN JOKE.
It's why I scream about it so much, because I just don't fucking see people using them, ever. And yes I know that's more of a regional issue, as I'm sure places which have actual real sex education in schools don't have this problem nearly as badly.
--- Quote from: Mlle Germain on 19 Feb 2014, 09:05 ---I find the idea of having to begin a relationship by formally going on dates (often with expectations attached to what has to happen at the Xth date) a little ridiculous. Looking at QC and other popular culture coming from the US, this seems to be much more a thing there than in Germany - although I will immediately admit that pop culture does of course not necessarily portray reality very accurately. I have never "dated" anyone by that definition.

Maybe in that situation the formalised setting of dates makes it easier?
--- End quote ---
Nobody in America really does that dating thing. It's an outdated thing which hasn't really been common for about 50 years. But it survives as a trope in fiction because it's a convenient and easy setup for drama.
Also I generally find formalized dating settings are far fucking more awkward and difficult than just dating someone normally.
