Hello-
First of all, let me say, "Hello"--I used to be very active here at TFP several years ago, and on a lark decided to come back. I'm looking forward to rejoining this community.
Anyways, something has been on my mind a bit recently--the question of "slutiness". As a bit of background, I'm a 24-year-old single gal who's had three serious relationships, a few "minor" relationships, and a fair bit of casual sex. (usually in the months immediately after said serious relationships)
So anyhow, I'm wondering--what makes a slut? Is it a number of partners? Or is an attitude towards sexual relationships? Does it correlate to how long he/she has known his/her partner, or does it correlate to the connection they feel with this person?
And also: does sluttiness matter to you? Do you mind if other people think of you as a slut? Do you mind if your partner leans towards slutty?
Personally, I tend to think of sluttiness in terms of numbers rather than attitude, but I've definitely known people who tend to think of it in the opposite way. That being said, a little sluttiness doesn't bother me....I'm sure by a lot of standards my own "magic number" or my attitude towards sex is considered slutty....but by others, I'm sure I look downright innocent. I suppose sluttiness is in the eye of the beholder.
I welcome your opinions, and look forward to getting to know y'all better.
Kisses,
Sabrina
