I hate the word "slut"

He Says...

We need to invent a new word.

In my humble opinion, one of the most maligned words in the English language is “slut”. It’s a word that is held back and only used in the most extreme of circumstances, when somebody reaches such deplorable levels of depravity, specially reserved for that most despised girl in the neighbourhood and office who fucks anything and anyone. A dirty girl, a whore. There is no male equivalent word, “male slut” doesn’t come anywhere near to having the same derogatory ring to it. Men who partake of and enjoy sluts, what do we call them? Nothing really. Just men!

There are few worse insults you can sling at a women, in her face or behind her back. And yet, as I go through life and learn, I think I start to understand that deep, deep down in many women, there is that carnal, instinctive need to be a wanton, uninhibited sex creature. A slut. More or less. To be possessed and to be spoiled and to be treated like an object of lust. To be spoiled by many men at once. Or whatever. Men generally don’t like to think of their loved ones as sluts, and they may even feel threatened by it. Through my own experience with Mrs Rocker, a heady, potent, exciting, sexual buzz is created by having the security and safety of trust and protection to let your loved one explore her slut-instinct. Safely and without fear of recrimination or most importantly- judgement. Freedom of the mind to explore the art of the possible. Mrs Rocker tells me it’s the Madonna-Whore complex.

If the world were a little more equitable, there wouldn’t be any such word as “slut”.
