There is a difference between acting slutty, dressing slutty, and legit being slutty, amirite?

Also, Sexy does not automatically mean slutty.

I believe what you are is decided by how you act. If you were acting slutty, you were slutty. Of course, this does not apply to people who act as a profession/hobby.

So if I acted as a hooker...

That's what I was thinking, but then I figured you could act like you have a lot of sexy times without actually doing so. You'd just be a pseudo-slut.
by Anonymous11 years ago
That could still be considered trashy, which would insinuate that you're a slut, so yeah I guess you're right.

This reminded me of Easy A. Emma Stone, well her character, pretended that she's a whore and that she was sleeping around with everyone when she was still a virgin.

This reminds me every time of the 'It sounds like a duck, it looks like a duck, it acts like a duck, but it's not a duck! It's a man in a duck costume'!
Just because you act a certain way, doesn't mean you are that person (though I guess you can become like that after a while, simply cause you're used to it)

I think you guys are missing the point. Hookers don't act a certain way, they simply accept money from a stranger to have sex with them. Other than that, there's no requirements for being a hooker. What I'm trying to say is that you can't truthfully say something like "I'm not a hooker, I just sleep with people for money." You can't act like you've had a bunch of sex, you can only lie. People who have a lot of sex don't act in any definitive way. For example, you can't do a bunch of bad deeds without any good deeds and claim to be a good person. You acted like a bad person, therefore you are a bad person. If you dress in revealing clothing, tease members of the opposite sex, and generally act slutty, you are being slutty. If your actions don't decide who you are, what does?

I think you guys are confusing 'slutty' with 'a slut'.
by Anonymous11 years ago
And acting is not lying?
After all, in both cases it's pretending that something is true, while it's not
by Anonymous11 years ago
Yeah, but acting slutty doesn't mean you sleep around, but being a slut does.
by Anonymous11 years ago
I think there's a difference than being a slut and those things. Slutty is an adjective that can just describe those things while being a slut is just...being a slut.

How is it we're still even using the word 'slutty'. It's kind of taking a step backwards for women who fought/fight for equal rights..
by Anonymous11 years ago
Exactly. And if we're going to keep using the word slutty, why can't men be called slutty too?
by Anonymous11 years ago
It's like calling a man beautiful or a woman handsome. I'm sure there's a male equivalent.
by Anonymous11 years ago
Handsome used to be commonly used to describe women, and I to this day refer to attractive men as beautiful.
But even if the words aren't general neutral, the closest word to "slut" I've ever heard a guy called is a "player," which, firstly, isn't the exact same thing and secondly, sounds ridiculously juvenile.
by Anonymous11 years ago
The male equivalent would be either player or manwhore. Player doesn't have nearly as much negative connotation and isn't considered particularly derogatory though, so it's not really the same.

They can be and they are
by Anonymous11 years ago
Or we could just not call them anything.
It's not our job to decide how many people others can sleep with.

Yeah going off of what HMDucky said, I don't think sex shaming should exist, period. You don't fix a problem by making it worse. "hey, instead of making only one group feel oppressed let's oppress EVERYONE!" no one should be ashamed about the amount of people they've been with whether it be 0 or 100. It's no one's business and unless they're purposely being careless or hurting people they shouldn't feel bad about what they do in their private time.

I agree with not shaming people who sleep around, but I still feel it is OK to take a moral stand against sleeping around.
I see sexual relationships as expressions of deep and intimate love which is not here one day and gone the next. Sex, to me, should be part of a long term and meaningful relationship
by Anonymous11 years ago
I agree with you, absolutely.
I'm not sure how to explain what I originally meant... I don't think sleeping around is good or admirable, but if someone does, it's not up to us to label them for it.
by Anonymous11 years ago
Slut is a rude and immature word. Whenever I read it I imagine a high school girl shrieking the word.

Like in Mean Girls when Cady sees Regina kissing Aaron Samuels!

@Joe_Larson that's fine if YOU feel that way about sex, but that does not mean everyone else should feel obliged to think the same way. Some feel that sex is less of an emotional thing and more of a physical one- something that we as human beings do instictively. Just because they have different beliefs they should not be told by complete strangers that they're doing something wrong.
by Anonymous11 years ago
The only person who can take a moral standing and think about their sexuality, is THE PERSON THEMSELVES.
As a sex-positive feminist, I'm totally against shaming people for their sexual decisions. Even though I' m not into, for instance, polyamorous relationships, doesn't mean I get shame people who are.
Of course people should be informed and be able to make decisions about their sex life. But yeah, that's for THEM to decide. Because only they know what they like and what they want, and only they can assess the consequences. Nobody else should be able to interfere with anyone's sex life, and nobody should EVER make people feel bad for having a lot of sex, having no sex, having sex with many partners, using sex toys, being into certain types of sex, etc etc.
