To me, a slut is a person (man or woman) who has sex without showing respect for themself or the other person(s).
A whore is a person who has sex for money or other gain.
A wife is a monog. partner for life. Amongst other things.
...Sanctuary, since you are assuming I am one of 'those' people, I will not try to change your mind. Discourse can not occur between the two of us.
The man I am currently dating is a feminist. You don't have to be a woman to be a frickin' feminist. It is about human rights.
Personally, I have enjoyed having 'multiple partners' AND I believe I remained honourable throughout.
I treat my body/self with respect. I have the right to be with who I please.
I respect those I am with, I do not bullshiot them, and I do not expect anything but the same.
Frankly, if someone I was with called me a slut or said some of things that have been said in this forum, I would tell 'em to F*&^ Off and "don't let the door hit your azz on the way out!"
You can have emotional ties that are not monog.
You can express yourself sexually without being a slut.
You can be a sexy woman with strong opinions.
If ya don't like it - find yourself someone who's willing to bend over for ya. There's lots of bottoms kickin' around:)
