Why it's okay to be a Slut

Why is being a slut such a bad thing? I mean seriously this is isn't the 1950s anymore, these slut shamers need to grow up and stop being so immature and sexist and realize that women want sex just as much as men, so stop being such fake Victorian prudes.

Why it's okay to be a Slut

When a guy sleeps around he's a stud but when a woman does it she's a whore. Talk about double standards.

And why is slut even a word? I don't see any words that specifically defines a man having many casual sex partners yet a woman does. This is the purest form of sexism. The fact that this word is even in the dictionary is revolting.

Society has created this twisted image of approval to abide by, when there's no apparent reason to. Yes you can get pregnant or get an STD but you can also do both of those without being a "slut." This debate about promiscuity is about judging and shaming people, thinking that you know what’s best for them better than themselves. Well, sluts don’t need your disapproval or advice on how we should live our lives. We’re quite capable of making our own, terrible drunken decisions. What I can't however deal with, though, is your disapproval. I don’t know why, but for some reason people just love to cram their beliefs down your throat.

Why it's okay to be a Slut

I like getting compliments and attention from guys, I like being desired and I like having sex. And to shame someone for doing something that comes naturally is just beyond absurd.
So what if a woman has sex with more than one man or likes taking it up the back door. It's their life, they can do whatever they want with it, and that does not make them a whore. Heck a woman can have sex with a hundred men at once and you still shouldn't judge them. Unless that woman is genuinely a bad human being, you have no right to judge her as a person. Yes you're entitled to your opinions but that doesn't mean you have the right to flaunt it around.

Yes being promiscuous can result in you getting hurt, you can get STDs or become pregnant or worse, but there are preventative measures you can take like using condoms every time and getting on the pill. If you take proper precautions you'll be just fine, there is however always a slight chance of getting pregnant or catching a STD but you probably have a higher chance of dying in a car accident than getting either of those. It's like saying you shouldn't get on a roller coaster because it could derail and get you hurt or killed but that doesn't mean you should stop having fun just because there's a less than 1% chance of it happening.

Why it's okay to be a Slut

The word slut has been taken out of context so badly that it's used everywhere without people even being aware of the meaning. A woman dressed provocatively in public? She must be a slut right. A girl who flirts with all the guys in school? Oh she's definitely a slut. A girl who posts half-naked selfies? Oh man she must be a whore. I mean seriously what does clothing have to with being a slut or flirting or taking selfies. People are so conceited that they resort to calling women sluts (a word that obviously has a negative connotation attached to it) so they could shame them just because their still stuck with views from the 60s.

  • I love women. I believe they are allowed to fuck as much as they want, and who they want as much as I am. Bottom line - I don't expect anything from a girl I wouldn't expect from myself. No double standards.

    Screw the sour men butthurt with their massively weak egos about it

    • It isn't a double standard. There is a good reason slut shaming is put in place.

    • Which is?

    • @LuckyLittleLucy Its been empiricly and statisticly proven to be detrimental to people, more so for women. It leads (and is caused by) depression low self esteem poor relationship with fathers, its been shown that the more partners a person has the greater the marital/relationship unhappiness/discord they have. The greater amount of partners the greater the probability of divorce and infidellity. It affects the individual and unfortunately any one the individual attempts to have a relationship with. I put links in my post if you wish to read up on it.

  • You can be anything you want, but every single person has the right of judging your attitudes as right or wrong. Kinda like "my mind, my thoughts, my rules".

    If a guy/girl dislike sluts/players, it's OK! It's called "freedom". Everyone has the right to choose a way of life, and this include preferences. If a girl can say "I like guys with 6-pack abs!" and a guy can say "I like girls with big breasts", why can't someone say that he like non-promiscuous persons? The I would not like to date that girl who posts body pictures on Instagram? It's an option, just like being promiscuous.

    At the same time, I would NEVER shame someone for having sex with everybody, because it was their choice. It may not be the best choice in my views, but I have nothing to do with other people's lives.

  • Having many sexual partners is probably the single best indicator of future infidelity and divorce. Men don't shame sluts, women shame sluts. Men are happy to have sex with easy women, they just have no interest in serious relationships, marriage, children with sluts.

    Women shame sluts because easy women are threats, and devalue the market for sex.

    • "best indicator of future infidelity and divorce. " How exactly? How can you so blindly predict such a thing? The number one cause for infidelity for women is dwindling emotional connection, the most important factor in a relationship so why even stay in a empty shell-less, unhappy facade of a relationship.

    • Dwindling emotional connection caused by? :) I have a feeling you know already. ;)

  • www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1742435-what-do-you-think-of-a-man-who-s-goal-is-to-have-sex-with-as-many
    Check that out and tell me if men are really praised for having lots of sex. I stopped reading after the second paragraph cause it's clear that you're bitter.

    You try coming with double standards but there's not so much double standards as you put it to be.
    Lying and making up stuff doesn't help.

    • "I stopped reading after the second paragraph." "Lying and making up stuff doesn't help." Way to contradict yourself there.

    • How did I contradict myself when the first two paragraphs are just made up stuff and lies? Explain.

    • Also this mans goal is to have sex with many women as he can. To him women are objects of a sexual conquest, he deserves all the hate he gets.

  • I'll give you the response i give to all questions/takes like this.

    Slut: a person who has hand many sexual partners.

    A woman who has had many sexual partners is--by defintion--a slut. A man who has had many sexual partners is also--by definition--a slut.

    I am a conservative person. I choose to be this way. Which is why i will mot date you if you have had many sexual partners. Why? Because it goes against my morals, and you likely won't have the same view as me on sex.

    But hey, if you are horny, do as you please. I'm not saying its "wrong" to be a slut. You're a big girl now, you can do whatever the hell you want. I'm just saying that i personally wouldn't date you.

    Again, slut shaming doesn't exist. You may get rejected when it comes to relationships, but nobody is going to shame you or bully you because you've had a certain number of sexual partners.

    • "slut shaming doesn't exist." Yeah tell that to the several men (as well as that one woman) who left their opinions on this post calling me slut because they think it's immoral and the last time I checked calling someones actions immoral is an insult. Slut shaming is specifically done to put down women for being promiscuous which I don't need to tell you is what bullying is.

      "A woman who has had many sexual partners is--by defintion--a slut. A man who has had many sexual partners is also--by definition--a slut. "
      You can think like that as much as you want but the the term slut has always been specifically directed at women. Every definition of the word pertains to a woman just because you add man to it does not make it so. Google, urban dictionary, oxford dictionary, cambridge dictionary all specifically mention women and not men in the definition
      www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=slut
      www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/slut
      dictionary. cambridge. org/dictionary/english/slut

    • You can't just go around making up definitions. I've never heard a man being called a slut in my life. "I am a conservative person. I choose to be this way. Which is why i will mot date you if you have had many sexual partners. Why? Because it goes against my morals, and you likely won't have the same view as me on sex. " Like I said you're entitled to your opinions.

  • "Slut shame" - more SJW rhetoric. If you're a slut then you figure out if you feel ashamed over it at the end of the night. If you don't feel ashamed then how can you feel shamed for it by others?
    Grow up, stop telling everyone how many people you're fucking and stop finding shit to cry about, ugh. If you are a slut, you are a slut - own up to it, but don't expect everyone else to call it something else.

  • I agree with pretty much everything except for the clothes idea. Clothes are an outward expression of how we wish to be viewed. For example I will Don a suite and tie if I seek have an interview, whereas if I walk around in overalls and no shirt I'll probably be seen as a country hick. Clothing speaks volumes about personality, if I see a girl wearing very reveling clothing it makes me think that she is making a statement that says look at me, I want attention, but not because of my personality.

    • "if I see a girl wearing very reveling clothing it makes me think that she is making a statement that says look at me, I want attention, but not because of my personality." I agree but that does that warrant her being called a slut something that has nothing to do with attention or making a statement. A slut is defined as someone who has many casual sex partners, so how can someone accuse her of sleeping around around a lot just because she's wearing revealing clothing (granted some women are doing it for sex) but judging someone just on clothing sounds pretty prejudiced to me.

    • I see what you mean, though that's the immage she is putting out there reguardless of her actual life. If you don't like the immage your clothes create (or the words that come with them) then change what you wear. If you don't care about what people say or think then it doesn't matter much anyway. You can't expect people to change how they see you if you aren't willing to change yourself. Besides I know many women that dress slutty for the legit reason of finding someone to sleep with, the stereotype is there for a reason.

  • too many on here are basing their opinion on religious belief. im from the godless island across the pond and i love a promiscuous girl. i have myself fucked over 200 women in my time so why should a girl not enjoy fucking too? if you are asking the question in general then you have my thoughts and if you are asking because it describes you then you go girl and dont worry about the labels. life is for living x

  • ... you can do whatever you want with yourself, but in the long run don't expect to end up with a guy that's actually worth it.

    • Why not? Does having sex make me any less of a woman?

    • It makes you less desirable for long term commitment.

  • A slut by definition is: a promiscuous woman. If a woman decides she wants to sleep around she gains a label. Male and female biology isn't the same so trying to equate the two is a fool's errand. Women can get pregnant while males cannot, men have high levels of testosterone while women do not, women are more likely to contract an STD, it's much easier for a woman to find someone to copulate than a man (generally), men and women also (obviously) have different drives as far as sexuality goes -- men want more feminine qualities and women desire more masculine qualities from a guy. Our species is sexually dimorphic. With promiscuous sex comes (unnecessary) risk... especially for women.

    Reality: promiscuous women probably aren't going anywhere. They serve a function for a lot of guys. Guys can sleep with them until they find a girl that isn't a slut to marry. And as long as the sluts are okay with that (and potentially being alone) life goes on. I don't mean to imply that this is always true but it happens quite often. Many women never get married, not always by choice. That isn't even counting the divorce rate.

    • That's not what it's about and you know it. A woman might choose the life of promiscuity. But society will use words like "whore" and "slut" to humiliate and bully her, take away her social status, and punish her psychologically, for disobedience. This has nothing to do with her welfare, because if it did, the discussion would be around compassion and empathy for the scarlet woman. I have to say, I'm astounded at how many really nasty guys are in this thread. And as an aside, I do date promiscuous girls. There's nothing wrong with them. They don't cheat more often. They not more stupid or useless. Permanent diseases are still pretty uncommon.

    • @AndrewTroy It's very true. Within Operant condition there is both reinforcement and punishment, which essentially boils down to encouraging good behavior and discouraging bad behavior. Humans have consistently determined, essentially everywhere, that promiscuous women (and arguably men) were bad for society on the whole -- hence the evolutionary development of shame. Not recognizing their downfalls does not mean they don't have them. Perhaps you aren't aware that they could be cheating on you or maybe they are lacking intellect and you don't have anyone to compare them to. I, however, am glad to see that there are at least some guys out there like you that don't mind being with girls that other guys have already used up and discarded. I'd imagine it's much easier to find girls that are driven by their baser urges rather than those that have discipline. Quality vs. quantity? Hopefully for your sake they have not been emotionally or physically damaged by their escapades.

  • When I think slut, I think of a woman who has sex with more than one guy. hah! What's wrong with me hanging out with a girl, THEN dating her seriously, then getting married, then having sex 20 times a day or whatever?

  • Well, totally agreed, we live in a strange Society with double Standards.

    For instance, why is it that if a wife chooses to stay home, even before having Kids, it is perfectly fine but if a husband does not work he is a dead beat?

  • I love sluts, and I would pretty much only date slutty girls... I think slut is a good word and I am proud of my slutty lovers.

  • Women need to get over this bad word, lots of people call me bad words, but I just get over it and move on with life. It's a bad word, nobody is trying to stab you or gun you down in the streets.

    I don't agree with calling women sluts, if a woman wants to have sex with endless amounts of men, as you say; her body, her rules.

    What makes me laugh about you women is you're so worried about being able to sleep with lots of men and not be called a slut that you're missing out on the larger issues facing your gender. The wage gap for instance, penises don't necessarily put money in your bank account unless you're a pornstar or prostitute. How many women are CEO's of major national and multi-national corporations? How many prominent women hold high ranking positions in your Government? These are all more serious issues facing your gender, but no we won't worry about any of these inequalities, they're not important, I just want to be able to suck 10,250 dicks and not be called a slut.

    • "Women need to get over this bad word" It's hard to get over it when it's such a big issue, slut shaming is still a huge problem in society. Being labelled a slut can destroy your self image because people percieve it as a bad thing when there's wrong with being a slut. "I just want to be able to suck 10,250 dicks and not be called a slut" I don't want to suck 50 or 250 dicks. I just want to enjoy one of the pleasures of life without being judged by everyone.

    • Is it a big issue to all women or just you? I see so many more urgent and pressing issues that need addressing in society that have a higher priority than getting people to stop using a bad word that offends certain people. Yes being labelled a slut can destroy a woman's self-image (if she allows it to). Also who is stopping you from sleeping around and who is asking you to kiss and tell? If women kept their private lives private instead of putting it on blast then how will people know who you have sex with? Also you say there is nothing wrong with being a slut (you've contradicted yourself here, you don't like being called a slut, but to you there is nothing wrong with being a slut? The mind boggles) and I agree with you but people are entitled to their own opinions. I don't like the term and I don't believe women should be called sluts for sleeping around, but I certainly don't want to be with a woman who has slept around with a lot of men. No thank you!

    • As for the judgment part, you'll always be judged by others, that unfortunately is human nature. I don't want to sound rude to you but you need to grow a thicker skin. There's far more wrong with society, far greater issues than slut shaming, sorry but perhaps you should get off GAG and venture into the real world.

  • I mean. You do have to admit, some clothes straight up look slutty. There is a line. If your shorts show off your pussy, that is slutty. We just quibble about where that line is.

    • Indeed. No one agrees exactly where to draw the line. Yet, the women who would condemn me most harshly for having a standard - and something to back it up with - would be surprised to know how lenient I can be when drawing lines. I look at it as being more about shaping attitudes than drawing boundaries anyway.

    • @obscuredBeyond Exactly. It's honestly debatable and usually is determined by what the environment is and who is perceiving the outfit. Some people are prudes as well who aren't appeased unless you dress like the amish

    • I know what you mean. I give women in my life a lot more leeway than my aunt would. She sees "slutty" in outfits that I see nothing wrong with.

  • Complain about slut shaming all you like, but realise that most men don't respect a slut. Even those who say they're against slut-shaming often only say so because they know that pretending to be non-judgmental makes it a lot easier to get laid. It isn't out of respect for you at all. Ever wonder why most men will try to get in your pants, but don't want other men getting into the pants of their sisters and daughters? It's because they know what those men think of women, as hypocritical as that is. Men don't get praised for sleeping around the way women think they do by the way, the only difference is that women are likely to call each other sluts while men don't give a shit at all. Most women don't like men who sleep around either.

    • so much truth here, but you've screwed it with last sentence: "Most women don't like men who sleep around either.". Women find guys who slept with many women very attractive and exciting. If that wasn't the case, casanovas would lose business as soon girls found out what he's doing. It's just pure biology.

    • BackInGame - of course men who get laid a lot will be viewed by women as being very attractive and exciting because how they get so many women, they don't get women BECAUSE they've slept with a load of other women. Also a man doesn't have to be likeable or nice to get laid because those aren't the qualities that actually attract women. Who do women complain about the most? The "assholes" they sleep with (and that's not me complaining about how nice I am and how girls only sleep with assholes). When you ask women whether they like players or not they will almost always say no, in fact I've done a few polls here asking this all with the same result, the majority say that they can't stand players. So women certainly don't praise players. And we know as men we don't praise other men for getting laid, we just don't give a shit.

  • Yeh you can be a slut, but you aren't getting me. Turn off.

  • Sex these days is getting treated so lightly. It's no longer taboo to television and movies, and hell it might even be a first date conversational topic (exaggeration). Point being that the concept of sex isn't as meaningful as it once was. People like having casual sex for pleasure. It's as hackneyed as eating a kit kat or reading a good book. This is for girls and guys.

    It doesn't make it right though. Sex (at least the good sex) is an intimate and special act to share with a loved one (and better yet when you want a baby!). I don't like the fact that these days, it's completely lost its value with today's hookup culture and quickies.

    That being said, I don't think a woman should be called a slut ever- either for wearing provocative clothing or sleeping around. But I don't think anyone should be so promiscuous. Honestly, sometimes I feel that people do it because they're bored. Go to the mall, eat a good meal!

  • "When a guy sleeps around he's a stud but when a woman does it she's a whore. Talk about double standards."

    Can't believe some people still don't get WHY that is. Feel free to create a male online profile and find out for yourself.

    • Ask yourself this, why wouldn't a group of female friends be so extatic at one of them announcing that she scored 7 guys in the last week? Because they know how little is actually required to do such feat.

    • It's true women can get it more easily, which also means they turn down more opportunities, thus making it less of a big deal that she has more sex than a typical guy. Even if she has more sex, she's also turned down more sex.

  • First of all dear what if the word slut just exists..! Don't ignore it! Ignoring it wouldn't make you feel happier. what-if the meanings are changed lets consider stud as slut and slut as stud! The words remain same but the meanings are interchanged!! So it just depends on how you see it not on how others see it!! Great work for this post! I hope you understand what I am saying! Change your mind and you change your world!
