  • What Makes a Slut?



    I haven't gotten any action in a long time: Too long. Sex is all I can think about and dream about. Now I might just head over to the nearest frat on campus next Friday to get my fix, but I'm not that kind of girl. I'm the girl who's never been to a party with alcohol in college, who spends Friday nights in the dorm lounge with friends, who, when she tried alcohol for the first time, spewed out strings of curse words and thought she was bad-ass. I dream of being a rebel but I'm so laughably not.

    Anyways, I was chatting with my girlfriend the other day about the lack of sex in my life and half-jokingly brought up the idea of making my ex-boyfriend (who I hardly talk to anymore) drive over for sex. She was horrified. "Why would you give your body up like that?!"

    I was pretty irritated. I told her that I wasn't "giving up" anything. I wanted sex, and his body is capable, so I wanted to use it as a means to my own ends. He's the only guy I've ever had sex with, and at least there would be no surprises and we'd know the drill since we've had experience together. I have no intention of ever dating him again or becoming friends since I think he's unfit for either situation. I asked her if he'd be "giving up his body" if he called me one day out of the blue and said "Sex. Now." but she bluntly told me that because I'm not a guy, having sex was self-condescending.

    I know traditionally girls are expected more than guys to make themselves hard-to-get, and 99% of the time I actually love denying boys' advances, but logically I see no reason why this blatant sexism makes sense.

    Why should a girl with a strong sexual drive be considered a slut?

    She shouldn't be.


    It is natural to want sex and healthy to have it.

    In this country, that type of sexism is rampant.  Each girl is supposed to be a vixen in the bedroom but if she does give it up then she's a slut.  Personally I don't follow those type rules.  You obviously have control over your desires.  Don't worry about what other people think.

  • UltraViolet847@xanga

    Go have sex. There is no such thing as a slut. Sex is as natural as going to the bathroom. Just be safe and use a condom.

  • sugar_mama@xanga

    You shouldn't be considered a slut.


    If nature calls, you gotta answer it... ya dig? Plus it's with an ex (only person you ever slept with) so I wouldn't consider this slutty. Get it girlllll! jk =)

    My rule: If you know his middle name, you aren't a slut.
    "his" being anyone you've slept with.
    (:

    (You don't sound like a slut anyways)

  • EccentricSiren@xanga

    If women are going to get called sluts for anything, then men should be called sluts for the same reasons....

  • greenglow28@xanga

    christ, it's a guy... the ONLY guy... you've ever had sex with.

    slutty is seeking out a random hookup with complete disregard to you and/ or the other person's own well-being and safety, I think. I like @TheRealMelanie@xanga's rule. like havin sex with a friend; not that bad. having sex with someone you met that night? slutty. (and I mean met- not had a date with.)

    What makes a whore? 


     Desire over wisdom and not being royalty to buy away your sins and force desperation to pump for you.


    Kill all humans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    I'm a virgin, but I couldn't be good if I wanted to be because of where I am and the options available, so I'm destined to sin. It's my fate. It's how I sin that matters most. 


     Destroy that which destroys.


    See, I just want a little life to grow with-from, but this isn't possible because they've forced me to carry their sin for their desire-vanity-goal and now that I've reacted by force, they rule over me and keep sinning, creating more of me, me, me until we will rule over them.

    Magic Carpet Ride


    I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
    On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
    Any place it goes is right
    Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

    Well, you don't know what we can find
    Why don't you come with me little girl
    On a magic carpet ride
    You don't know what we can see
    Why don't you tell your dreams to me
    Fantasy will set you free
    Close your eyes girl
    Look inside girl
    Let the sound take you away

    Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
    And so I wished that I could stay
    Before the thing could answer me
    Well, someone came and took the lamp away
    I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

    Well, you don't know what we can find
    Why don't you come with me little girl
    On a magic carpet ride
    Well, you don't know what we can see
    Why don't you tell your dreams to me
    Fantasy will set you free
    Close your eyes girl
    Look inside girl
    Let the sound take you away


    They - Jem


    Who made up all the rules
    We follow them like fools
    Believe them to be true
    Don't care to think them through

    And I'm sorry so sorry
    I'm sorry it's like this
    I'm sorry so sorry
    I'm sorry we do this

    And it's ironic too
    Coz what we tend to do
    Is act on what they say
    And then it is that way

    And I'm sorry so sorry
    I'm sorry it's like this
    I'm sorry so sorry
    I'm sorry we do this

    Who are they
    And where are they
    And how can they possibly
    know all this
    Who are they
    And where are they
    And how can they possibly
    know all this

    Do you see what I see
    Why do we live like this
    Is it because it's true
    that ignorance is bliss

    Who are they
    And where are they
    And how do they
    know all this
    And I'm sorry so sorry
    I'm sorry it's like this

    Do you see what I see
    Why do we live like this
    Is it because it's true
    that ignorance is bliss

    And who are they
    And where are they
    And how can they
    know all this
    And I'm sorry so sorry
    I'm sorry we do this


    24 - Jem

    Been given 24 hours
    to tie up loose ends
    to make amends
    His eyes said it all
    I started to fall
    and the silence deafened
    Head spinning round
    no time to sit down
    just wanted to
    run and run and run
    Be careful they say
    don't wish life away,
    now I've one day

    And I can't believe
    How I've been wasting my time

    In 24 hours they'll be
    laying flowers
    on my life, it's over tonight
    I'm not messing no I
    need your blessing
    and your promise to live free
    please do it for me

    Is there a heaven a hell
    and will I come back
    who can tell
    Now I can see
    what matters to me
    it's as clear as crystal
    The places I've been
    the people I've seen
    plans that I made
    start to fade
    The sun's setting gold
    thought I would grow old,
    it wasn't to be

    And I can't believe
    How I've been wasting my time

    In 18 hours they'll be
    laying flowers
    on my life, it's over tonight
    I'm not messing no I
    need your blessing
    and your promise to live free
    please do it for me

    In 13 hours they'll be
    laying flowers
    on my life, it's over tonight
    I'm not messing no I
    need your blessing
    and your promise to live free
    Please do it for me

    I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it
    All that I said, I meant it, I meant it

    And I can't believe
    How much I've wasted my time

    In just 8 hours they'll be
    laying flowers
    on my life, it's over tonight
    I'm not messing no I
    need your blessing
    and your promise to live free
    please do it for me

    In just 1 hour they'll be
    laying flowers
    on my life, it's over tonight
    I'm not messing no I
    need your blessing
    and your promise to live free
    please do it for me

    I view guys who casually sleep around as sluts, too your situation is a fuck buddy. a slut is more of a random hook up that happens quite often like going to a party, bar, nightclub, etc to find someone to take home.

  • TheNotoriousGOD@xanga

    if anything, i think you're a cocktease for "loving" denying guys who hit on you.  i definitely do NOT approve of that attitude.

  • Bacardii_Qween@xanga

    @Colorsofthenight@xanga - what are you talking about??

    anyway
    your friend seems ignorant but hey that's her opinion
    if you think there's nothing wrong with feeling the way you do then there's nothing wrong with it. it's your life. you can feel however you want to feel and do whatever you want to do.

  • Murphy_Rants@xanga

    I don't think any amount of sex defines a slut. I think it is when the person (male or female) is ignorant of their actions and hold a cocky attitude to it.

  • Colorsofthenight@xanga
  • mcmeister89@mancouch

    One, call up someone for sex. I personally wouldn't go with an ex, but I'm assuming the situation with your ex is different from those with mine.

    Second, your friend sounds like a dumb prude with double standards that would make a hippie on acid do a double take.

  • soyeahthatswhathappened@xanga

    i've never thought someone who had a strong sex drive was a slut.


    i think a slut is simply someone who sleeps around.

  • Thumper49047@xanga

    still, what makes a slut a slut vs. the girl who bangs because she wants it?

  • coolmonkey@xanga
    Sounds like you need to stop making friends from Bibletown. You're only a slut if you breath smells like jizz most of the time.
  • y_tc@xanga

    it's natural for anyone to have sex drive, maybe you can consider masturbate or get a didlo. 

  • JusticeCho@xanga

    @TheRealMelanie@xanga - What if he doesn't have a middle name?


    I think calling up the ex just for sex sucks, unless he has absolutely no feelings for you anymore, otherwise it's just toying with him.  Other than that, I'm not sure what I consider a slut.  I guess if you sleep with multiple people just to sleep with them on the same day I'd call you a slut...but dunno.
  • ThingsYouDontKnowAboutMe@xanga

    I was just talking about this with my friend (what makes someone a slut). I think sleeping around doesn't automatically do it, but taking advantage of the other person (saying that you want a relationship, that it's something more than it is, etc) or trying to manipulate something out of it/out of the other person using sexuality, does make you one. Guy or girl. But that's just my opinion and to each their own.

  • dream_lucidx3@xanga

    have sex. satisfy your needs. sluts are non-existent. everyone is going to have sex at some point. it doesn't matter how many people you have sex with as long as you keep it safe. meaning steer clear of std's lmfao. 

  • jasonwl@xanga

    A slut is anyone who engages in commitmentless sexual acts of any kind.

    Logic does not exist in your world.  Neither does manhood.

  • jasonwl@xanga

    @coolmonkey@xanga - Why?  Obviously those are her only friends.
