You will find two camps regarding this issue, strictly within the female gender, never minding the shades of grey, and to argue it in this arena is going to end up going nowhere. We as a culture celebrate sexuality while simultaneously repressing it, and there are arguments both for and against it. Making blanket statements about a nuanced issue is only going to end up looking foolish.
Edit: so quit sniping at each other you two.
