"Slut" as a label - Discuss

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Today I had the pleasure of being called a fucking slut by some guy simply because I didn't respond to his emails as quickly as he liked. It got me thinking, I see a lot of people talking about their "slutty wife" etc and I wonder how do you ladies feel about that label?

Personally I hate it. Why? Because the idea is that if a man loves sex he his normal, yet if a woman acts the same way, she is somehow a "slut". A disparaging and offensive term thrown at women who are as sexually liberated as men.

Guys often act like little kids and throw tantrums if they cant get what they want. Leave them to grow up and be the sexually liberated woman that you are!

I had a similar thread on this...it really depends on how a word is used, hope I'm trying to make sense here, some times calling a girl a dirty little slut can b a turn on for both man n woman...but if it used as an abuse then definitely it's not something nice n to be proud of as we should respect women. Oh and no blonde yr really hot...??

I think there's a cohort of women who love the term.. I suppose they see it as confirmation of their ability to exhibit their freedom to express their sexuality.

Personally I wouldn't want to leave a meet thinking a girl was actually a slut, or her feeling like she was..

Usually the term is used in a manner which is consistent and appropriate to the situation, but in a sense of fantasy..

But I'm delighted if I have been able to create an environment where someone has felt completely safe to enjoy living out their 'slut fantasies'. I'd be worried if she still felt like a 'slut' by the time we'd finished a cup of tea though. Behaving like a slut as part of any given scenario is very different to losing respect for a person or oneself..

I'm happy for Fred to call me a slut occasionally during sex, but it's essentially role play. I wouldn't enjoy being called it every time we have sex.

I don't really know how I'd describe a slut outside of the scenario above if I was pushed, I tend to think of it as a derogatory term used by a man to describe a woman that won't have sex with him. Or by a woman used to describe another woman that is having sex with a man the first woman would like to have sex with - if that makes sense??

I don't like the word slag either.

Is there a male synonym for the word, as its connotation doesn't truly apply the same in a male context to me.

For me, I hate the term. It may be reclaimed by a minority, but to the majority it is a derogatory term implying a females morals are weak because she enjoys the same sexual freedoms as a male. In that sense "slut" used in whatever context, reinforces the social oppression of females.

I feel my opinion is somewhat unique due to being born trans. Being raised as a male, I was taught to enjoy sexual freedom. I see no reason to change now that I'm physically and socially the female I've always been. Yet, that same sexual behaviour will now see me labelled as moral weak by the society which once encouraged me, simply because I now have a vagina.

In short "slut" is a term steeped sexism and misogyny.

You have got yourself a bit mixed up here, and as a consequence you’ve come to a flawed conclusion.

A term having a derogatory meaning for the majority does not preclude a minority from using the same term in a celebratory way, nor also enjoying subverting the term’s derogatory nature, or simply consensually enjoying its derogatory intent.

So it does not ‘reinforce the social oppression of females in whatever context’. Context is, in fact, precisely what can prevent the term from being a tool of social oppression.

Obviously context is crucial...certainly not in a derogatory way, as a term of abuse, or if it isn’t acceptable to the person it’s directed at.

However, if it is used by the person themselves, or if it is acceptable within that relationship, then it’s a bit like other terms used in the fuggle world: there’s a site called Lids for Yids for example where you can buy the skull caps worn by Jewish men...

Bitch and Twat have a friend called Slut. She named herself...and we’re rather fond of her.

Many of us - male and female - like like the image of being a "slut"

Problem is certainly in English there are so few words relating to sex - physical and emotional aspects - which makes many concepts you have to deal with very hard to have a discussion about. The shortage is so noticeable. Misuse some of those very few words associating them with negative connotations and you really are "painted into a corner".

Example is when you are discussing a cunt. If you are a sex-positive person, you absolutely cannot visualise how someone could suggest something undesirable by using the name of something so wonderful, but seemingly in much of society this is the case - sad and profoundly messed-up!!!

When I had a new ladyfriend a while back, I referred to her cunt and there was a pause before she said "Would you like to rephrase that?". She had no prior experience of referring to a cunt as a cunt.

We have to be a bit thick-skinned at the moment, knowing the true meaning of words like "slut", "cunt", etc, and disengaging when someone is misusing precious terms.

I’ve been asked to call girls slut during sex and used to feel quite uncomfortable saying it. Especially calling somebody’s wife a slut while fucking her hard in front of their husband!

In the moment though it’s can be quite hot but there’s a fine line for sure depending on who your with.

That is a given as I said, everyone is free. However a minority is only a small part of wider society, and therefore it is the majorities use of the word that holds meaning from a social context.

So it does not ‘reinforce the social oppression of females in whatever context’. Context is, in fact, precisely what can prevent the term from being a tool of social oppression.

You're confusing a minority definition with societal definition. Also, the fact that a couple enjoy the derogatory and negative aspects of the word, does not disclude their use from reinforcing the mainstream societal meaning applied to the word. it just means they enjoy that meaning.

In the end, a male is trained by social conditioning to be promiscuous and to enjoy that promiscuity. The more conquests he makes, the more of a "stud" he is. A term steeped in praise and veneration.

A female is trained by social conditioning to be monogamous and to serve her (male) partner. The more "partners" she has, the more of a "slut" she is. A term steeped in disapproval and vilification.

Slut, used in any context, even pleasurably between lovers, still reinforces the view that a sexually promiscuous female is morally inferior to a sexually promiscuous male.

Personally, I never enjoy being slut shamed. Especially from a lover.

Context and connotation.

There is a demeaning aspect to the word slut. But, for me, there is also a sexy aspect to it. If it's meant in the demeaning way, then I don't appreciate it. If it's meant in the sexy way, then I find it a turn on. Although I can only think of a handful of people I'd be ok hearing it from.

The problem for me, is I see it as a word that has been created to demean and shame women into behaving in a certain way. I don't find it a liberating word at all, regardless of whether someone owns it or not. I find it quite the opposite. The ultimate liberation would be if it were no longer an accepted term.

No, you are still confused, and explaining the obvious meaning of the word doesn’t change that.

You seem to think because you don’t like a term, and it has an obvious negative and derogatory meaning and use in wide society, than it can never have any other meaning or use consensually in private. Its consensual use in private, no matter whatever the reason for that use, be it pleasurable shame or pleasurable celebration, makes no contribution to its negativity in a wider social context. In fact, it can only ever contribute to a diminishing of negative meaning.

What you personally do or don’t enjoy is irrelevant to this point.

But then I also know I'm fat. Doesn't mean I need it pointed out to me.

People get too hung up on labels and name calling.

It’s all about context for me; there’s a difference between someone saying ‘you’re a dirty slut’ to saying ‘you’re my dirty slut’.

I’d be less inclined to kick someone in the shin for saying the latter!

In the swinging world it would seem it's used more as sexual turn on word more than an insult.

" You seem to think because you don’t like a term, and it has an obvious negative and derogatory meaning and use in wide society, than it can never have any other meaning or use consensually in private."

Sorry but again you're confused as to my meaning. The use in private between lovers is not the issue. The wider societal meaning is. Private use, consensual or not, still relies upon the behaviour of the woman "acting like" a slut. In this sense, the willing partner is not being a slut, but is acting a slut. Whilst pleasurable for the willing, it does not alter the meaning of the word slut, NOR importantly, the associated negative connotations within society. In its use in the bedroom, the users are still contributing to the perception that a sexually active woman is morally inferior to a male with the same level of sexual activity. This was best summed up by Dark Angel when she wrote..
"The problem for me, is I see it as a word that has been created to demean and shame women into behaving in a certain way. I don't find it a liberating word at all, regardless of whether someone owns it or not. I find it quite the opposite. The ultimate liberation would be if it were no longer an accepted term."

When you say...
" Its consensual use in private, no matter whatever the reason for that use, be it pleasurable shame or pleasurable celebration, makes no contribution to its negativity in a wider social context. In fact, it can only ever contribute to a diminishing of negative meaning."

I have to ask.. do you believe that acting out a fantasy within the bedroom somehow deminishes sexual assaults against women within wider society?

Promoting the use of the word slut to define a sexually active woman does not diminish its negative meaning. It reinforces it in the same way that porn in which women are seen as simple objects of sexual gratification, has resulted in the increase incidents of sexual assault against females. What you and your lover(s) do in the bedroom is your business, but "acting a slut" doesn't change the words meaning, negative connotations or usage in wider society. The word "slut", designed specifically to shame sexually active women, should have no place within wider society.

Haven't read all replies here, so apologies if I'm repeating what others have said.

I feel quite strongly about this actually.

I'm not one to campaign for equal rights or anything, certainly not one of these so called male feminists or anyting of the sort.

But simple common sense and being fair minded...for me....is enough to make it plainly obvious that it's fucking retarded to use this term in any kind of derogatory manner.

There was a time when sex was painted as immoral and wrong outside marriage and we all know this.

It's not all that long ago that being a single mother was the most shameful thing imaginable, whereas now single mothers are held in high regard generally.

Painting attitudes then as oppressive is pointless 'cos it's just how things used to be, just like in 50 years time people might look back on 2017 and think the same.

Whilst things have changed, it puzzles me that this word still holds weight. it's backward and pathetic.

If a guy says it as an insult to a woman, to me it's obvious he's not all that smart and/or letting a bruised ego rule over common sense.

It's sad!!!

It's frustrating too that women give this term value by letting it have impact.

I understand people in general are not all open or fair minded and maybe it's unfair for a bloke to be so black & white about it...but I truly think any person should just fuck as many or as few people as they want to irregardless if they're a guy or a girl.

Thanks for the intelligent reply.

To the three points highlighted above...

Its not "how things used to be.." the fact that the word is still used in a derogatory manner shows that things have not changed.

As a post-op transsex female, I know from experience that my life as a female comes with none of the social privildges afforded to males. If a fuck freely, then society judges me to have lax morals. Yet as a man, the same behaviour is a mark of my male success.

On your final point, the word has impact because it is misogynistic (woman hating) aggression. Females are verbally attacked simply for living the life you promote, and as in my case, because despite our percieved lax sexual morality, we still turned him down.

It is a sense of male entitlement that SOME men hold toward women, and especially women they percieve as "sluts".

I haven't bothered to read every response to this read, my bad, but speaking from my own perspective the term 'slut' is absolutely fine because for me it represents the kind of label that describes someone's particular sexual tendencies. You can a male slut and a female slut, they are both in essence the same.

In my mind there is nothing wrong with a slut. It's an expression of personal sexual freedom and confining much the same way being called gay was in the 1960's. Being called gay now is no longer offensive if there is truth in it for either gender but back then it was a "family destroyer" of a term.

In time society will learn to accept that sexual confidence is not something that should be discriminated against. Human beings are not genetically designed for monogamous relationships for life. It's that simple.

I am all for a slut, or slutty behaviour. Doesn't have to be for my benefit at all, just be confident in ourselves and be safe in how we go about it. Who else can judge?

There is nothing wrong with the word slut in my opinion and there is nothing wrong if a lady accepts she is a slut, it's a great thing in my opinion.

That said, any type of abusive or disrespectful behaviour for whatever reason is wrong, this helps us narrow down to the issue. Abusive or disrespectful behaviour of one person to another is the issue not the word slut.

The problem with this opinion is that the word "slut", as defined in wider society is gender specific to women, and secondly a disparaging remark ie offensive. When men use the term toward others / themselves, there is an element of joviality / humour not found in the words use toward women.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/slut

So, even if "..a lady accepts she is a slut.." i.e. “acts” a slut within the bedroom and / or context of her relationship, she is also accepting the negative social aspects i.e. her socially viewed lower moral standards.

By dictionary definition, you can't have a male slut.

"So calling a lady a slut is wrong in your opinion ; but it's OK to refer to a guy as a "dick" "

Again, NO, this is a discussion on the word slut. As I've stated many times, used in the bedroom between consenting adults it is acceptable.... on the proviso that the users understand that by doing so, they perpetuate antiquated and offensive views toward women i.e. that whilst male promiscuity, the male slut if you like, is fine; applied to a woman the word defines her as having lower moral standards in all aspects of her life. When a man has many lovers he’s called a stud, Casanova, ladies man etc... If he’s famous, it boosts his career. If a female acts the same way, she’s called a slut. If she’s famous, she’s slut shamed in the press and her career takes a battering. THAT is why the word is so offensive.

It is no different to you using the "N" word with your mates. However if I or another Caucasian was to use that word, then despite our intent, an offensive meaning would be associated to it because of the history of white on black abuse. A similar thing exists with Tranny. If I use it, that's fine. If you call me a tranny, then an offensive meaning would be associated to it because of the history of cis abuse on transsex people.

As regards my use of the word dick... Cambridge dictionary defines the word as "offensive: a stupid man"

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/dick

I feel no need to apologise for calling him a dick, especially in response to him referring to me as a slut. I will say this though. Calling a guy a dick doesn't question his morality or even his intelligence. It simply states, in an offensive manner, that his behaviour at some moment was foolish.

Dick is more akin to twat or cunt. There is no male equivalent for “slut”, only an alternative version again associated to females “slag”.

They only judge his behaviour toward women on sexual issues. They don't judge his morality on all aspects of his life, because he enjoys sex.

In the normal society the word slut might be offensive but in this alternative society as you can see from the comments of most of the ladies, it is not considered offensive.

It is always freely used during play etc I believe it is the manner of delivery of the word that might offend the ladies, so if you used it in an abusive and disrespectful manner then the ladies will take offence.

Then you need to try to decide what point it is you think you are making here. Abusive words should have no place in society - this is an obvious point. And yet they do, so in this regard ‘slut’ is no different from any other - including ‘dick’.

A word’s original intent does not remain its definition in perpetuity - like all words, use changes meaning, and a dictionary definition only serves to record the last ‘official’ definition. They change with time. So a negative word being used positively can only serve to diminish the negative meaning, not reinforce that meaning, as you seem to believe, even if they play with those original negatives.

Your question about sexual assaults doesn’t make any real sense, unless you make some wild leaps of logic - do you want to try to rephrase it?

I'm not ok with using terms like this either in everyday conversation or during sex. They come out of a culture that has objectified and shamed women simultaneously and it's actively a turn off to use those phrases and words in play for me. It's also a turn off to ear others using them within earshot for me.

Congrats to the OP for stringing this out to over 150 posts. Who would have thought one little word would cause such a spouting of intellectual hot air. Looks like I've stumbled into psueds corner on fab

Has she deliberately strung it out? Or are people just naturally enjoying the discussion? I’m sure people wouldn’t have contributed if they weren’t interested.

Exactly...I mean...who'd have thought that people would actually DISAGREE about the implications of using the word 'slut' in a sexual context?!

I mean...next you'll be telling me that some people on Fab are critical of certain aspects of BDSM...

Classy and has avoid written all over it...we enjoyed reading the debate, where there are strongly held views. Why waste electrons with this negative, dismissive and, quite frankly, arrogant statement?

Well if we're being frank, I find it rather arrogant for individuals to take it upon themselves to state what society as a whole thinks of the word.

"I'm not ok with using terms like this either in everyday conversation or during sex. They come out of a culture that has objectified and shamed women simultaneously and it's actively a turn off to use those phrases and words in play for me. It's also a turn off to ear others using them within earshot for me."

I agree 100% with this.

So we see the words meaning doesn't change over time no matter how much it is "claimed" by a community. If that was the case, the N word would now be socially acceptable as the black community adopted the word at the very start of the race equality movement. Yet it is not.

The comparison I made earlier to sexual assault stands. The act of role play in the bedroom between consenting adults, in no way eradicates the threat in public life. In that way, by using the word "slut", even in a consensual manner, the objectifying and shaming of women is perpetuated, as the participants are either excited by applying the label to their partner, or are excited about acting in a manner she knows is normally frowned upon. Why should a woman be negatively morally judged for enjoying an active sex life, when a male acting in the same manner is morally promoted? Real equality comes when a woman is free to enjoy sex like a man, without any moral judgements.

As for those who have been rather aggressive in their defence of the use of the word "slut", I would ask this.... if the word is unisex or of little consequence in the 21st century, why do you all hide your sexual activities from wider society? Isn't it time you all came out the closet and where public about your swinging? Or is it that you're afraid that society will take a dim view. Not so much of you gents, but your female partners who you love to call your "slut" wife? Is it not the case that it is your fear of public shaming, which keeps you closeted and secretive about your activities? The fear both you and your female partners have of society looking on negatively to your activities, THAT is the power of "slut shaming", and THAT is why the word should never be socially acceptable.

It doesn’t bother me (S) at all, if that’s the worst you can say to me then go for it. When I was younger I was more bothered, but now I really couldn’t care less.

As is a comment of this style. I have no time for a man without the intellectual abilities to debate a topic without judgement upon the debator.

The greatest sex organ is the mind. Not the genitalia.

Which word and who?"

Well I thought it was still "slut" that was being discussed and various posters have stated how general society views the word.

How do you view the use of wanker or cunt? Not that uncommon to hear them used in the wider society so what's your take on them?

It isn't arrogance. We know what society as a whole thinks of a word. Thanks to dictionaries.

Why are you being aggressive simply because people choose to debate the use of the word "slut"?

"I prefer the French word “putain”...but that’s probably because my French is quite poor..."

I thought it was "salope". However, my knowledge of French isn't much better.

In my opinion, the German "schlampe" sounds much worse.

Neither the word wanker or cunt are gender specific in use, and neither word has a negative moral judgement attached to it that is specific to only one sex.

There is no comparison with the word "slut"

Excellent riposte...putain is probably better translated as whore or possibly tart or somewhere in between

...BUT we’re discussing slut so let’s ignore this linguistic development...AND the accuracy or otherwise of our translations...back to the OP’s original intention.

Actually if you look at Cambridge Dictionary it defines wanker as "a very stupid or unpleasant person, usually a man" so arguably it is gender specific.

...Up on the Downs

In my view the word slut has more than the dictionary definition of a woman who has slept with a lot of men, it also commonly carries with it a broader derogatory sense - lack of class, badly dressed, indiscriminate in her choice of sexual partner, liable to intoxication, lacking in self-control, amoral in her promiscuity (cheating/adultery etc) the kind of woman who throws herself at other people's husbands ...all of that and more. It implies moral bankruptcy not simple sexual appetite!

There is certainly nowhere near a male equivalent - womaniser is no comparison!
