Girls gone wild is a series of male entertainment videos that feature young college-aged girls exposing themselves. The idea is that all these girls were pure and chaste and then the second they pulled off an article of clothing they just couldn’t help themselves. They had a taste of sex and their own sexual power and they just went crazy.

Oh girls. It’s true that we do just want to pull off our clothes at a moments notice. We want to ‘go wild’, free ourselves from our sexual expectations and hang-ups. We want to be wild sexual beings that can do anything and bang anyone. But we’ve been filled with a pile of nonsense on how a woman should act. Slut is still a four-letter word. If you fuck too much you’re a slut or a whore. If you don’t fuck enough you’re a prude. You can let yourself go wild but expect to be talked about the next day. Don’t expect to be admired for your sexuality. Expect to be labeled.

Every guy I’ve ever been with, except for my current partner, has told me that I fuck like a guy. I, naively, used to take that as a compliment. I thought it was a celebration of my sexuality, that guys said this to me because I was so free and open and up for anything. That they loved how much I love sex. The truth is, it isn’t a compliment. It’s a comment on how most men think a woman should be sexual or what is expected of us in terms of our sexuality. After a while I started to realize that these men felt emasculated because I wanted sex more than they did. They meant that I could fuck with feeling, without cuddling afterwards; I could do it several times a day and still be hungry for more. It wasn’t intended as an insult, but it was intended to tell me that I was being sexually inappropriate, that my sexuality wasn’t ‘normal’, that my desire and hunger was not how a woman should feel. I asked my current partner about that once. I told him that men used to say this to me. He just shook his head. They just don’t understand how in touch you are with your sexuality, he said to me. And instead of celebrating hitting the jackpot they tried to make you feel abnormal because they were insecure. It was nice to hear. Comforting. So I’m not a freak because I like to fuck a lot? I’m not a freak because I don’t act and react in stereotypically ‘feminine’ ways when it comes to sex?

Why can’t a girl go wild without having to be reeled back in and put in her place?

1. It’s been my dream to shoot a Girls Gone Wild video in Saskatchewan. Of course it would be an excruciatingly long video, given how many articles of clothing would have to come off….parkas, sweaters, snow pants, etc.

2. If I made a Girls Gone Wild video in Saskatchewan, one of those girls would definitely be fucking a dude on a Zamboni.
