Humiliation vs. Degradation

.. she wanted to be called My slut and My whore or the like..

My wife has a saying which I adore

"I'm your wife and your whore and I do a damn good job at both"

[Curtis]

I don't believe this is off topic, so I'm going to throw it in here:

I'm getting tired of people (mostly authors) on this site mis-using the word 'whore'. If you're not doing it for money, you're not a whore. A slut maybe, but not a whore. :soapbox:

"I'm getting tired of people (mostly authors) on this site mis-using the word 'whore'." ... :soapbox:

When quoting the words of another, Curtis, one uses the exact words unless paraphrasing, author or not. And authors have full use of literary license in using the word in their stories. Perhaps posting your objections on the actual story feedback lines would be more appropriate?

Conceptualize its use and ease down from the soapbox, okay? The one here seems a little ricketty.

[e.b.]

Humiliation is an excellent cue for couples that move in and out of D/s and vanilla...a most lovely hint that the fun is just about to start.

Good point, e.b. i never really thought about humiliation being used as a tool in that sense...but, you're right, it is.

Blimey, steady on!

i don't think a soap box can be ricketty when someone's stating something that they personally are sick of, especially if it's based on a statement of fact. (i.e. that slut and whore don't mean the same thing and that it is, on occasion interchanged at will).

Having said that, Curtis - if this seriously bothers you, it may be worth bringing it up in Critics Circle.

...And that was my point, sl. Thanks for clarifying it for me. Opinion is his, of course, just the wrong placement here.

You're welcome.

Sorry, i thought your point was that authors have full use of literary license in using the word whore in their stories, and i was just pointing out that he didn't say anything to the contrary.

If, however, i misunderstood your point but still managed to clear it up, then great!
