Wiping out the sex history

JACKASS SEY DI worl' no level. Jackass sey man an man free fi talk whe an whe dem used to do inna bed (well, up to a point, cause a no everyting good fi eat good fi talk), but ooman haffi quiat an try wipe out dem sex pas'.

After a few conversations with a few brethrens around the same topic (and there are no prizes for guessing what man and man talk about most), Jackass got to thinking that while men are free to talk about their sexual past, women just cannot. It is not a matter of do not want to, but cannot.

Think about how many times you have heard a man say "bway, before me meet Sugsy me did wil' y'nuh! Me did have two gal pan de same road, plus me a slap a married ooman ova Edgewater, an same time me bus' a cherry ova Duhaney Park ens!" An his friends say "wicked my yute!". Lies, exaggerations and all, it is so common and the men are not afraid to talk in front of women either.

OK. Now think about how many times you have heard a woman say "I remember before I met Roy and settled down, how I used to have two married men, one for Tuesdays one for Thursdays, then I went to Negril and met this yummy guy on the beach and right there under the coconut tree I just pull the swimsuit seat one side, then there was this cute little sixth former at Wolmer's who I just had to teach the ropes".

Try never. Any woman who said that, even her friends who were doing the exact same thing at one point, or even then, would see her name instantly become to sketel what Xerox is to photocopy machine, Dell is to computer and Digicel is to cellphone.

NOT FAIR

And it is not fair at all, because men and women have the same desires, the same sneaky sneaky way to fulfill them and the same lingering memories that cause a smile into thin air every now and then. The world is not level when men can casually talk about or even brag about their very active sexual histories, while women have to pretend that their personal sexual history books are filled with blank pages.

Sex is like pork, so sweet that those who don't want to partake have to take oath against it. And Jackass always contends that the number of men and the number of women in Jamaica is relatively fixed, so if so many men are sexually involved with more than one woman, it stands to reason that quite a few women are involved with more than one man.

Furthermore, unless they are going with another man every 'wicked move' that men go on, from banging in the car in the parking lot of the fast food restaurant to a quickie behind the speaker box at a session or a voluntary 'battery', involves a woman. But when it is over and time has passed, the women are expected to act like nothing happened and the men brag about their exploits.

And yu know de wickedes' ting too? It sweet ooman fi real, because as me hear wan bredda sey a Backyaad Crack Up one time, when yu aise a scratch yu an yu push een yu finga an' scratch e, wha feel sweet, yu aise or yu finga?

Jackass sey di worl' no level. Jackass sey sex sweet fi do, chat bout an memba, but ooman haffi curtail dem chattin cause people wi judge dem up.
