What is a Slut?

[angelic.zest]

well i was on another bdsm community site, and someone posted something about a slut, and what they thought a slut was. i would like to hear what everyone else has to say about it. i know a few ppl here dont like those names, or are into name calling. so i would say it doesnt have to be the word slut, it could be whore, wench, or cumdumpster whatever word u want to use but what do you think one is?

here's my post...my Sir helped me with it *giggles*


Well i think the answer would be diffent for the slut and for people who are around her or him. I think a slut is someone that sees themself free to explore what ever feels right for them . not worried about others definitions or right or wrong. To enjoy herself with other and explore anything and everything that strikes her sexual interest.

As to others perception of what a slut is that all depends on context. the angry boyfriend calling someone a slut is nothing like the admiring onlookers watching a girl please herself with an audience watching, so its a matter of perspective.

i agree with Him, i feel its a term of "endearment" from Him, but from someone who doesnt know shit about me, yes i would put them into their place. i cant stand disrespect, from myself to someone or someone to me. i guess it does come down to, "Who says it, and in what context"

so what you all think?

[Flaming_Redhead]

American Heritage Dictionary defines slut as a person, especially a woman, considered sexually promiscuous, a woman prostitute, or a slovenly woman.

I enjoy erotic humiliation. I have no problem being called a slut. I know what I am, and I'm not afraid to admit it. However, what I find hurtful is when people who supposedly love you for who you are, or in spite of it, suddenly decide that they have a problem with what you are. I find these people to be extremely insecure, and the only way they can feel good is to put others down.

when im playing either in rl or rp i luv to be called dirty names it turns me on and nothing turns me on more than my domme saying "come here slut " or asking me what i am with me asnwering im yr slut . to have a complet stranger or swaggering dom call me a slut is and insult that i wont stand for it . when my domme calls me her whore well uget the idea i think ill go play with myself hehe

[orchidsoul]

I really like the definition you and your sir wrote.
That pretty much sums it up for me.

I love to be called 'slut' in the bedroom. It's not about how many people I've slept with, rather I'm insatiable for the lust, the ravaging, the beating, the worship, the surrendering and many more things. It's just about the right person recognizing. Coming from said person... it's so damn horny. And like you pointed out, from the wrong person- not such a compliment. In fact, quite derrogatory.

Many words are similar. For quite a long time I despised the word 'cunt'. Now, I'm rather fond of it. If someone said to me 'you fucken cunt'- that's just about grounds to smack them. If someone said to me 'you want me to fuck that cunt, don't you' I may just about cum.

It's all in the intended meaning really.

btw- if that's you in your avatar... gorgeous!

In my opinion, a slut is someone who longs for, lusts, needs and/or can't get the thought of sexual relations or acts out of their heads. They will go to extreems to fulfil their sexual needs. The more of their time such thoughts dominate their minds, the more of a slut they are.

I have also found that many people, in my opinion, over use the word slut, inserting it into the end (or beginning) of every statement during a scene. For me, name calling starts to lose it's significance when it is used as punctuation.

Use of words change. I would call what you describe nymphomaniac.

At its worst, you cannot function normally and no matter how often you get off, the lust comes back immediately or after minutes. 24 hours a day.

I saw a program about this - quite scary!

A slut will do anything asked of her...

It's a difficult title to achieve, but worth the effort.

I had always thought of my self as a slut but by that definition I guess im not because there is alot of things I wont do.

You may presume that anything I say (in virtually any thread) that could be presumed to infringe a limit... doesn't.

So be assured... if I were to ask "Are you my slut and would you do anything I ask of you..." you could clearly say "yes... and more..." because I won't ask you to go beyond your limits... and you might well be willing to do more than I ask.

Edit: I just saw you are relatively new here at the forum... I don't know if you're also new to the lifestyle per se... but regardless, you might enjoy and gain some insights by searching out some of the threads on limits and safewords.

Well now I have not seen that in years.
I will sit here and contemplate the years I have been in this, not to mention when I started. Wow it has been a long time. You all have very good ideas as to what you think a slut is but remember that any words can be used in the wrong and correct manner. Also it is perception value, first the party receiving the term has to think about what it means to them.

i am called that name by him out of love and respect for my insatiable desire to serve him in any way that i can.

i have worked hard to demonstrate to him that i am his obedient, devoted and sensual partner in this relationship. he has the right and privilege to call me this. for that is who a i am...to him.

to others i am proper, respectful and often flirtatious and teasing, but not owned and adored by them - not THEIR slut.

i wear this name with great honor and pride. for it means that i am pleasing to my Master.

Complementary thoughts.

[subcurious63]

Funny if you had asked me this question a few years ago, the answer would have been quite different. i think that growing up i learned from some very sexually repressed people that a "slut" was someone that was promiscuous. However now, i would have to say that a "slut" is someone that is willing to explore all of the possibilities...someone that is open to new experiences, and is willing to leave their comfort zones for the one that they love and trust.

i along with many others would not want for someone that does not love, and understand me to call me a "slut" or a "whore", however if someone that knows and loves me, calls me those names, i find it a term of endearment. i find them truly arousing if a Dominant that i enjoy calls me by those names.

[alpha_Straye]

It seems to me that any word can be made derogatory. It's the sneer in their tone, in their face, that makes the difference.

until a few a years ago i never heard anyone use the word "cunt" now its one of my fave words to be called by him *blushes*

as others have said, knowing one self is good, knowing that your dominant is saying it with the upmost care and esteem, makes being called one a hell of alot better.

i am not old fashion, i like dirty names, very dirty names, but onces the line of disrespect has been crossed thats when it stops being playful and starts getting serious.

no its not me, but thanks!

luv to be called *cunt* when im making out with my domme uuummm

[sadiej]

it's all about trust. i am not merely "A" slut. i am MASTER'S slut. there is a difference. i am called that name by him out of love and respect for my insatiable desire to serve him in any way that i can.

i have worked hard to demonstrate to him that i am his obedient, devoted and sensual partner in this relationship. he has the right and privilege to call me this. for that is who a i am...to him.

I agree. I've noticed a lot of people here saying that only their dominant may call them names without risk of being bitch slapped. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me (sort of). I don't care who calls me names. If they don't know me and say something that isn't true, why should I get upset enough to do violence? They're just ignorant. If they say something that is true, why should I be angry at someone for telling the truth? If the truth hurts, it's time to take a good look at yourself in a mirror and decide if you like what you see or if something needs to change. If you like what you see, that's really all that matters, and whoever doesn't like it can go fuck themselves!

I somewhat agree with this. There are some names that only my master may call me (I am his and only his Dirty Little Slut). But he also knows that there are things he doesn't call me, such as a whore. I think, now anyway, that a slut is a woman who is open and honest with her sexuality. It may be a woman who likes being with many partners, or just someone who likes doing what she is told. A whore, on the other hand, at least in my life, is a negetive name that calls to mind someone who uses sex as a trade for money or drugs or whatever they are looking for. They don't enjoy what they do, but they do it anyway, which is why it is negetive.

and for good measure...........
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Harlot

Okay so first of all all of you have to look upon the factors of perception.

To me:

Slut - Slave Longterm Under Training. A sexually driven person.
Whore - A person who is sexually unbiased.
Prostitute - Business woman in the sex industry.
Not to be confused with the Porn Industry.
Harlot - Business woman in the sex industry in the 1700 and earlier.
Also a really wicked term just like wench.

So the next thing I would like to say is that I am mostly a literal person. Given that I do not call people by names they are not or not being in a scenario based situation.

The last thing I would like to say about the assumption line in your reply is:

" I will call you what I please, do not presume to tell me what I can and cannot call you. Rephrase your words as I know you understand me better than most. If you were a whore I would call you a whore, or anything else. You forget your place. I realize that you are still in training so I will only say this one more thing. Come to me for your list of chores and punishments."

Thank You all for your patience and understanding. The main point I am making here is perception.

I have yet to read a better line of reasoning that what you've just stated!
Now as others, if you would've asked me that a few years ago, you would've gotten a wholly different answer. But here goes: What you do in your own life, is exactly that, your own life. No-one has the right to judge you, for what you do, or don't do. I get so tired of people judging other people ( like they don't have things in thier lives that they may or may not be proud of or that is different than anyone else's lives ) that it makes me sick!
If we were all the same, and did all the same things, and didn't have differing tastes, then I would try to move to another planet!!!!!!!!!!!!
What life is all about, in my most honest opinion, is to experience as much as we can, regardless of what some stuck-up prude says or thinks.
George Clinton said " free your mind, and your ass will follow."
I think that applies well, here!

i have never viewed the word 'slut' as a bad word, even before i became involved with a Dom...He taught me that there was a whole 'slut system'...for example, in His world, according to Him, there were 'pain sluts' (girls who really wanted pain and nothing else), 'cum sluts', whose focus was eating cum, 'bondage sluts', who of course liked to be tied up, etc., even though they may have enjoyed/engaged in other activities.

of course, in the throes of sexual excitement or subbie space, that word is thrilling and pushes you further, and even when i am not playing, i never mind being called 'slut'.

i was never called 'whore' and don't think i would like it if i were, because whores are very mercenary and deliberate and don't get any pleasure out of serving men. (although maybe 'cockwhore' would be ok). sometimes i like 'little bitch' as in 'you're my good little bitch, aren't you' although i like 'slut' best, and do not see it as degrading or demeaning. i don't like the word 'cunt' too much, especially being called that (which i have never been called either).

[subcat]

Dawn Owl i agree with your statement & definition. i love being called a slut by my friend. From Him it is a high honor not easily given. If anyone else calledme that out of a certain context though...they would get my wrath..LOL!

[samm]

Also think of how "slut" and "my little slut" sound totally different. The former is more offensive while the latter is perceived as dirty talk and is more a turn on.

[BrightFyrefly]

I misspoke. I should have said "My Master chooses not to call me things that he knows bothers me or that I am not."

[icey]

ive kind of had mixed feelings on this and it can become a bit of a touchy subject for me.
IH has always used the term slut whether it be in play fun or as a pet name and has always meant it in an endearing or sexual way and i always enjoyed it and have refferred to myself that way for certain things.
but as usual being different from the norm lol recently i have quite a bit of discomfort with it when its non-sexual, and can no longer do it,im just not comfortable with it anymore.
i feel like im insulting myself possibly even degrading myself and feel that it's true in the genuine definition of the word.
a while ago some-one found out about my 'bdsm' life and saw pics etc and used them against me for personal reasons and out of spite, as a result there was a period that i was getting called it by a few neighbours and ex-friends even a cpl of times when i went to pick my children up in the school playground..not a pleasant experience!
as a result it's now other than in the bedroom made something that was once special and made me feel good something thats insulting and makes me feel dirty and bad.
my fault for letting it but thats how it now is for me.

Your story made me wonder if the term 'slut' may someday become a common term, turned by those who are proud of themselves, from epithet to a title of pride. I wonder how today's "suicide girls" describe themselves.

Please don't feel that it's your fault how you feel. People were cruel to you and of course the word has different connotations now.
