Most men have little respect for a woman they consider an "easy lay," and such a woman often looses respect for herself thanks to society's attitudes in this regard. Society forces women to wear cultural "chasity belts" while men are free to pursue their sexuality as they please.
*the congregation shouts: AMEN!*

For instance, I have a friend who has rarely been without a man in her life. Basically, she has some issues to resolve, so that could be it, but she has been known by some to be a 'ho. Of course, she doesn't think so, she's just...well...a very loving person. However, I've known plenty of men like that, and they are either "dogs" or "playas". Hmph!
