If you sleep with him on the first date, he won't respect you and you'll ruin your chances at establishing a long term relationship

I'm sure we've all heard this advice at one point or another. There are a few things about it that strike me as anti-third-wave and sex-negative:
  1. It suggests to use the availability of sex as a carrot-on-a-stick, or a bargaining chip. Bad way to start things off.
  2. It assumes men are all horny animals and will have sex with you, provided you allow it. This is that same tired argument that women can get sex just by snapping their fingers.
  3. It assumes there is some kind of intrinsic respect that is due to a woman who keeps her legs closed. Those who stray from this path are not worthy of respect. In other words, slut shaming
  4. We all know that women enjoy sex just as much as men do, so why don't we give this advice to men?
  5. The type of guy who would consent to having sex AND THEN disrespect the woman for doing it, is not the type of person you'd want to be in a long term relationship with anyway!
What are your thoughts on these 5 points? Would you give this advice to the younger generation coming in behind you?
