have you ever used sexuality to get something in life?
I'm just curious to see your responses. It doesn't have to be just sex, even flirting, letting him /her believe that there's something there counts too.

in life can mean things good seats at a restaurant, a promotion, a discount at a mechanic etc.

5. Probably
Since my sexuality is an intrinsic part of my personality and cannot be separated from the whole.

Now, if you're speaking of *intentionally* using sexuality to achieve something other than a boyfriend, date, sex, etc., than I'd have to say no. I always hated when my friends did it and being the feminist I am, I resent that women are often led to believe that using their sexual attractiveness is the only way to achieve their goals.

7. I meant intentionally
you know you don't like the man /woman, you just want him to believe that until you get whatever you want.

13. Nope, can't say that I have
I have a really hard time with that personally. It's too much like lying to me.

21. Mine has a stuck emergency brake
I've used my animal sexuality to get a pack of gum. But I had to give the cashier 75 cents too.

14. No, I haven't
It's a behavior I despise in others. Why would I want to engage in that myself?

16. If men could do it
they'd be doing it all the time.

:)

I don't begrudge any woman who uses her feminine wilds to get her way.

24. Not recently
I haven't engaged in this behavior recently, but I would be lying if I said I haven't flirted a little for things or just to boost my ego. I admit that as a college student I would go on dates with people I really didn't like because my school loan money was almost gone. I've never had sex with anyone for things, but I can recall receiving quite a few things (concert tix, a scholarship to a legal conference, coffee, drinks, etc.) because men thought I might like them more than I did.

I find it embarrassing, but I think it's an ugly phase for a lot of young women.

25. Well, the fact that I'm straight
has kept me from being discriminated against for housing, jobs and health insurance. I've never been spit on or beaten up. So I guess yes, my sexuality has gotten me some things in this fucked up world.

27. Sure
To get an orgasm.
I suppose sexuality has brought me other things if unintensionally. I have noticed the more attractive I am, the better I am treated. If I'm my normal semi-hot chick self, all is well. However, back when I was hugely pregnant with another little kid in my arms, no makeup, hair in a ponytail, and sweatpants, when I needed a little more special treatment, I didn't get it. I didn't get a second look. Now I'm back in better shape, feeling better and looking better, now men want to hold the door for me again, etc. Okay, not all men are like this, but its been my experience overall.
