Carrie Mathison's penis death crave

Watch out! If you have sex with her, you may very well soon end up dead.

reply

If you think that's a lot of penis you must be living in Amish country....or maybe mid eastern due to an obvious alliance to double standards for women.

reply

Well, a lot for TV standards anyway. :p

reply

Huh? Four is a lot?

Have you ever watched Sex & the City?

Really, what a stupid topic to open.

reply

Not anymore stupid than your response to a TV show with literally sex in the title and no doubt dedicated around it so yes, I would say that is quite the number.

You're also free to not respond at all or ignore if this topic is stupid.

Remember BTVS? Buffy had 4 penis's over a 7 year run and I think she was considered quite picky..Never heard anyone that considered her a sex addict or loose.
I can't even think of any female character of almost any show that was intermittently single that wouldn't have at least that many guys in that amount of time.
It's quite a demure count in reality.

Wish Carrie had added Quinn to the list myself..Should have been 5.

What about guys? How many women make a guy a sex addict by your standards?

reply

Saw that show as kid, well, random episodes anyway. Never knew she had that many partners but it is a teen show after all. I was just poking fun at how many partners Carrie has was all, especially with her being bi-polar and all that.

Quinn loved her too much to fuck her if I recall or didn't want to be her boy toy fling of the moment.

For guys, I would poke fun too if the occasion arises. Just of all the shows I am currently watching so far, Carrie is taking the cake on sexual partners.

reply

You know something? I think it was the other way around..I always have.
Carrie never wanted to sleep with anyone she really cared about so that is mainly why she never slept with Quinn. It was too dangerous.
You could name Brody as an example against this theory except that when she first got involved with Brody it was anything but love. It was a strategy...a game.
She never intended to have any feelings for him.

Quinn never had a chance because she got to know him first.
Intimacy is not a skill that Carrie possesses.

reply

Wait, wasn't it Carrie that tried to hit on Quinn one time but he refused cause that's how much he loved her? Pretty sure it was that in one episode from what I could recall.

reply

I don't remember that and I suspect it might've been more of a game to Carrie at that point...
The time I do remember is before he disappeared from her life for a year or 2 and went off on a series of dangerous missions as if he no longer cared..; they were having that gathering (sorry can't remember the season)..Quinn had been seen playing with Frannie and then outside they kissed and she pulled away and told him she wasn't very good at that kind of thing and always ruined it. Carrie had a change of heart and tried to find Quinn afterward but he had left for some covert mission and was out of her life for some time..

reply

Wait, I thought she and Quinn did become lovers, for a brief while?

My recollection is hazy but didn't they start up something?

reply

No, Sex & the City wasn't devoted to sex. The more you speak, the more idiotic you sound.

reply

'Four female New Yorkers gossip about their sex lives (or lack thereof) and find new ways to deal with being a woman in the '90s.'

'A New York City writer on sex and love is finally getting married to her Mr. Big. But her three best girlfriends must console her after one of them inadvertently leads Mr. Big to jilt her.'

If it wasn't devoted to it, it's dedicated around it so my point stands. And to compare a romantic comedy to a crime mystery... You can see yourself out the door, 'idiot'.

reply

You sound like you are completely outside of modern reality, dude. Everything you say, on any subject, is just hopeless.

Whatever, not my job fix it.

reply

So if you're against decadent behaviour that means you're an Amish? kys

reply

So that's the only part you cling to?

No, but just concentrating on 1/2 of the equation of decadent behavior isn't really being against decadent behavior at all.
It's something else entirely.

reply

So if you think double standards are sometimes justified and reasonable that makes you an Amish? lul

reply

Hmm..no, it just makes you a hypocrite.
I'm only vaguely familiar with the Amish but I don't believe their moral code is selective and I wouldn't accuse you of actually practicing what you preach..
Consider the Amish comment in error. But not the hypocrite comment.

reply

There are plenty of situations where you can have double standards and not be a hypocrite, come on....
Ever heard the saying a key that opens all locks is a master key but a lock that is opened by every key is a shitty lock

reply

In this instance it would be hypocritical to me. Different standards for other genders or races or whatever that must follow a higher standard than one believes they themselves must adhere to sounds like the very base of hypocrisy to me.
In what instance do you find double standards anything but hypocritical?

I'm not advocating promiscuity, by the way..I'm just stating that it's not morally worse for one group of people over another.

reply

For example if a man gets in your face like he wants some you might as well throw the first punch so you stay in control of the situation but you wouldn't do the same to a woman. That's a double standard and does not imply any hypocrisy whatsoever. Actually the double standard you accuse the OP of does not imply hypocrisy as well. I think you would have a hard time demonstrating any double standard that's the funny part.

reply

I am a woman and your example makes no sense to me. I wouldn't throw a punch either way.
That's apples and oranges.. Whether or not it's a double standard depends on the situation and the people involved. Personally I don't think anyone should punch someone just because they get in your face anyway. Male or female...Learn a little self control.
And what has that to do with a guy insinuating a woman "craves penis" if she has 4 men in 7 years opposed to multiple examples of men having many more in shorter lengths of time and not thinking that is of any consequence?

Having a double standard is expecting different behavior from one group of people over another..Especially if you happen to be in the group that you believe can behave however you want with no judgement or repercussions.
How convenient to put oneself in the excluded group..
That is hypocritical.
If you're capable of comprehension I've proven the point. You just aren't paying attention.

If you believe that woman should follow different standards and adhere to higher morals sexually than men then that is a double standard and it is hypocritical.
Perhaps you're really making a comment that you don't think men are incapable of having higher standards? Is that it?...Because I would disagree.

You clearly have never been in a high tension situation that is unable to be defused through words so maybe that was a poor example for you. Anyways your whole point is that the OP has a double standard and so I forget, are there a lot of males in Homeland who had a lot of sexual partners? I honestly can't recall. Just curious where do you see a double standard here.

With that said, double standards don't imply hypocrisy. For example I have a double standard towards high IQ people that they will participate in criminal activities less. The data supports my double standard so does that make it hypocritical?

I also never said women should have higher standards than men. I'm just saying double standards are not a bad thing and sometimes they make perfect sense.

reply

I agree with bohemianroxie, over the seven years of the show, that isn't a lot, it's a new dalliance every two years, averaging out! Also, the show skips forward a few years between one of the seasons, and she'd been in a stable relationship for all that time. If anything, this woman has had more dry spells in her sex life that most people of either gender.

You just notice it more when she starts up with a guy because of double standards and the fact that the sex always interferes with the work.

There are male characters in most shows who go through many more dalliances than that -- even Frasier the lead of the eponymous sit-com -- yet nobody every calls them sex addicts or even dirty/bad/whorish etc.

There's an estimate that the Frasier character slept with a whopping 57 women in that show. Never once did anyone start to think of him as a male slut, yet by your standards he would be through the roof. Makes Carrie Mathison look like a nun, lol.

Double standards.

reply

Estes was before the show...so, really 3.

reply

Poor Dante. Another male victim to Carrie's penis hunger.

reply

However, if you can avoid her advances great things can happen. Congrats on the promotion, Alexander!
