The Madonna/Whore Syndrome is a psychological complex that a man has when he sees women as either a Madonna (good girl – virginal, domestic, pure), or a Whore (sexually free, fun-loving, anal freak). He wants one woman to somehow be both at once, and judges her no matter where she succeeds or fails. It has nothing to do with Mary, the mother of Jesus, or the pop singer.
Because of the religious upbringing of many people in the past, sexuality was often seen as a sin. Unfortunately, despite the church’s efforts, men and women found sex to be an important and instinctual part of their lives. Consequently, when a woman would engage in sexually free thinking or actions, she would be judged as a whore by the men. At the same time, the men all wanted her for her sexual freedom, because they were horny as shit.
Meanwhile, back in their homes, the “Madonnas” that the men had married had very limited and almost frigid outlooks about sex. So, even though the man respected his wife, he’d rather be with the “whore”. It was a no-win situation caused by the church who decided that sex was bad. But don’t get me started on the church fucking over human sexuality. We’ll be here all day. They think masturbation is a sin, for Pete’s sake!
Anyway, the problem is still prevalent in today’s society. Guys will go out and want to find slutty girls to fuck at the clubs. But they won’t think about marrying them because they want a virginal woman to wed. I have a lot of friends that operate this way. I try to tell them that the best kind of woman is the one that is BOTH the Madonna and the whore at the same time.
The perfect woman acts like she is a virginal, honorable, good girl when she’s out in public with her man. She doesn’t dress slutty and she doesn’t act trampy. But once she gets back home, and the curtains are closed, she turns into the nastiest, sluttiest, kinkiest, dirtiest whore on earth. That’s the kind of woman I want. One I can take to the opera in the evening, and then fuck up the ass in our homemade dungeon until morning.
I’m sure she’s out there somewhere. Maybe at the opera…
I’ve dated a lot of girls that started off very pure and innocent, and then taught them how to be open and enjoy their sexuality once we got behind closed doors. They all appreciated it greatly, based on the enthusiasm which they expressed their new-found sexual freedom with me. The relationship usually didn’t work for other reasons, like she was tired of me mooching off her, or hitting on her twin sister.
Nobody’s perfect.
1. Jesus had a Madonna/Whore Syndrome when he thought about Mary Magdalene. That’s why he makes Jewish people get circumcisions.
2. The film “Pretty Woman” tackles the Madonna/Whore Syndrome with sensitivity and raw realism.
