What a Slut Really Is, and The Importance of Self-Worth

What a Slut Really Is, and The Importance of Self-Worth

Simply put, a "slut" is a woman who sleeps around. There's no point in sugar-coating anything or acting like we don't all know what a slut is, or getting offended by what a slut is. That's what it is: A woman who sleeps around.

Now that that is established, what's so bad about being a "slut"? All a slut is, is the female version of a man who sleeps around. That too is correct. Men can also sleep around. But I'm not a man and I'm not going to speak on behalf of men nor will I try to persuade any men to think anything other than whatever they already think. I'm just not going to do that, I don't have the kind of expertise it takes to talk to men. No, I'm just going to take a minute to talk to the ladies. Guys, you can stay, you can go...whatever. It's on you. But girls, this message is for you because YOU'RE the ones who are going to have to live with this kind of message for the rest of your life.

First, let me say that there is a DIFFERENCE between slut-shaming and sharing an important lesson in life. If you hate me after this then oh well, but somebody is going to have to tell you this and I guess it's going to be me.

So anyway, what anybody does behind closed doors is their business. I've done my dirt. I'm not a slut but I'm not a saint either. Just because I haven't done certain things doesn't make me "holier than thou" because what I haven't done, I have probably thought about doing. The shit I see other women doing, I sometimes feel like I COULD do. After all, we all have a body and free will. And of course we have fantasies, urges, and needs.

What a Slut Really Is, and The Importance of Self-Worth

Some of us have thought about the idea of using a man for his money. Maybe we want to experience the power or being important enough to "buy" per se, or maybe we just need the cash. Some of us have really liked a cheating man or just a man with a girlfriend; I won't act like the thought of being a side chick crossing my mind is simply impossible. Being a mistress couldn't be all bad, right? Some of us haven't done much, but we WANT to. And of course, we have that oh so amazing free will and that means that we can do whatever we want to do.

I haven't done much, in the eyes of today's men I could be the epitome of purity even, but I will not act like I'm anything special. I'm just another woman with a VJ. VJ is everywhere, I could even go so far as to say every woman on the planet has one. So hiding this lump of flesh shouldn't be anything right? I mean, its just another one in the bunch. And no matter how tight, how hairless, how wet or how unused it is there is and always will be more. That much is simple.

Like I said, I haven't done much but I'm only human and I'm not perfect so I can't judge another woman for doing shit that I just don't have the heart to do.

But that's just it. I don't have the heart to do the shit other women do because I'm not cut from the same cloth. My standards are too high to be enticed by the idea of using sex to my advantage. The action alone of just having sex is nothing new, people have been doing that for millions of years and will continue to do it. But there is a DEFINATE correlation between the decision to have sex and one's self worth.

What a Slut Really Is, and The Importance of Self-Worth

Take for example a person whom you hold in high esteem. I'm going to go with my future daughter. (You could think of your mother, father, brother, sister or even cat for that matter). I have this idea in my head that I want my daughter to be the best woman she could be and I want her to have a mind to know. I want her to know she deserves to be a great woman and I intend to raise her as such.

There's not a doubt in my head that outside forces will influence my future daughter. A sweet-talking player with a lot if money and a bad reputation could swoop by and make her question her morals. But as her future mother, I care so much about her that I would still hope that she could see the wrong in doing something she knows she should not do. There are plenty of forces on this earth that could persuade someone to do wrong, but when you see the value in them and have faith in them, you hope with all your might that they can pull through and still be the best they can be.

So why can't you see the same value in yourself?

What a Slut Really Is, and The Importance of Self-Worth

If you could hope that someone else that you love with all your heart knows their worth enough to be a good person, why can't you think that way about your OWN self worth? If sleeping around with people who you aren't in love with does nothing else, doesn't leave you pregnant, doesn't leave you with an STD, doesn't leave you catching feelings....nothing else, then it AT THE VERY LEAST makes you lower your own self worth. If you do something that you wouldn't want the most important person in your life to look down on you for, then you are consciously being what you KNOW is a slut and that's what makes it so bad.

The conscious knowledge of your actions with no intention to change to be BETTER than that. You have to consciously try to be the kind of woman your own self could be proud of. That's all being a "good" woman really is. Its just making the effort to be the kind of woman you would want to be because you feel like you're good enough and deserve it enough to be. And it's up to you to be the judge of that. Not a man, not me, not your doctor (well maybe, that depends). Its up to you to decide how important you think you are.

  • good share,

  • THOTS GET GLOCKS

  • Sluts are beautiful just like anyone else... they have feelings they are loyal and need love like you and me... Sexualy they are a little over active that's all.

  • if you dont give it up, men will have no use for you

  • I don't respect sluts. Especially girls who are happy to be one and say shit like "I'm a slut and I'm proud." GROSS

    • "Slut" is a loaded word... aside from practical concerns the real question I would ask you to understand your stance is this: Do you think having a lot of partners in a given time period makes someone less worthy of respect? Does this rule apply to both genders? If so what is the justification for only disrespecting women who are promiscuous?

  • A slut is what it says on the tin. A woman who sleeps around. And that photo of buzz and woody is very much overused by feminist rants. I've already seen it on a feminist rant about abortion earlier.

    • I didn't put that photo an editor did

    • Bullshit did they.

  • When it comes to sex, usually men are beggars and women are choosers. Men are judged for not getting any and women are judged for bad choices.

  • Wow a slut is someone who sleeps around bnot just a woman, men are insecure and it hurts there feeling knowing they are not the only one, so making slut just a womanly trait, is like, giving them the ok to do so. I call this guy a slut, he's slept with tons more people than i have (virtually none just him).

    So a slut strictly female, well unless you keep perpetuating that ideal.

  • I think they should do what they want. But obviously the more people they fuck, or the easier it is to get them in bed, the higher their chances of disease... There's a reason some get them multiple times, some just once, and some never. And it's not all of them that you can rely on a condom to protect you, only some.

    So as long as they don't catch some nasty shit and sleep with somebody who made efforts to keep themselves clean, it's whatever.

    Honestly, the way these things spread is ridiculous. I remember in school, one slutty guy passed gonorrhoea on to a bunch of slutty girls who in turn passed it on to a bunch of slutty guys... and yea, you can imagine the rest. And the thing is, this is very common to happen. It happens loads. Lots of clinics will tell you there are outbreaks sometimes.

    But aside from diseases, I see them the same way I tell homophobic people to see gays or whatever... You're not into what they're into, they aren't having sex on your bed, they aren't fuckin you, so why is it your business.

  • And that's fine that you feel that way. I personally don't think sex defines you at all So I don't judge people for their under or over abundance of sexual partners... I mean who cares!-lol. But too each their own... for some people what other people do is very important... it's how they prove that they are better then others and have at it. I have no reason to need to feel like I am "cut from the same cloth" or not.

    I have only ever had sex with the guy I ended up marrying but see nothing wrong with having fun and enjoying your youth (if your careful). Just be happy and enjoy life... you only get one!

  • If you don't respect sluts, then don't respect man whores either.

  • slutby definition is someone who has multiple partners, and or who is dirty, so by definition about 75% or more of girls are sluts

  • I'd prefer my date to not be promiscuous but everyone has a past and it wouldn't be a complete deal breaker. All that matters to me is if the girl doesn't have an STD and is loyal in a relationship.

    The only times I find it to be a turnoff is if a girl puts her sex life out there. I once had a girl volunteer her whole sexual history to me on the date. I was like wtf, why are you telling me this. It was the majority of the conversation too. Or if a girl acts overly sexual and sends nudes/uses sex to get attention.

    That goes for guys too. It's not a gender thing. I just think bringing up your sex life or lack of is weird.

    • I say this because I hear girls say what will he think of me if he finds out I've slept with many guys or a guy say what will she think if she finds out I'm a virgin. I'm just thinking what makes you think that you have to share that? Regardless of your experience/lack of whatever, there's no law saying you have to carry a sign showing your age, number of partners, level of experience. I mean even if you weren't a virgin and you were on a date, you wouldn't go oh by the way I had sex with another person a few days ago or say it's been 5+months since I had sex. You should impress someone with who you are, not your sex life or lack of.

  • Firstly great take. Also nice use of pictures!

    I concur. I would say that women also love sex and should enjoy themselves. What I wonder though is it seems like both good men and good women have to act innocent and don't send signals?

    Perhaps you can help me on my question about a really sweet girl? www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q2141337-who-would-a-sweet-fun-girl-flirt-be-with-have-dirty-sex-with-based

  • I don't respect sluts

    • They don't deserve respect.

  • People love sex. Sluts are women that love to have sex with men. What's the point of shaming this? Who is shaming this? Greed, less for everyone else means more for me.

  • no woman with self worth lets men fuck them and leave

  • girls sleep around when no one wants to date them

  • sluts spread their legs to guys who don't give a fuck who they are.
