I can't think of a title that doesn't sound like bad porn.
Salon has an interesting take on the increase of girls kissing other girls to turn on guys. I'm not sure what to make of it really. But this final quote hits home that maybe it's not the healthiest thing in the world.
Long-term dating isn't the goal of the straight-girl make-out, says Julie; hooking up with the guy watching is. But she concedes that many girls attempt to hook up with a guy in the hopes that he'll become a boyfriend. "One of girls' fantasies of hooking up with a guy you like is that they'll want to date you, but that's a tried-and-failed situation. If you go home with a guy [right away], you have a minimal chance of him taking you seriously."But if these young women are not actually into kissing their girlfriends, why do they feel they need to do it to prove how sexual they are? Why can't a girl attract a boy by being her intelligent, hot self?
"A lot of girls who do want long-term boyfriends will still settle for the hookup because it gives them that temporary feeling of being taken care of and being close to someone," Julie says. "It's sad to see that this is what it's come to -- that guys will raise the bar and girls will scramble to meet it. Women just want to know what they have to do to get these guys to fall in love with them. And if guys will take them home after kissing a girl, then that's what they're going to do, because it's better than going home alone." She pauses. "Now that I'm saying it out loud, I'm like, Huh -- that's a sad way of going about it."
