I may be becoming a bit of a slut. Is it bad that I like it and don't want to stop?
It can be quite dangerous, though, so, yeah- you might want to watch that.
RKB, yes I do know the dangers of oral sex. I do not do that either. I think that something that serious is for committed relationships.
Although the ultimate origin of slut is unknown, it first appeared in Middle English in 1402 as slutte (AHD), with the meaning "a dirty, untidy, or slovenly woman." Even earlier, Geoffrey Chaucer used the word sluttish (c.1386) to describe a slovenly man; however, later uses appear almost exclusively associated with women. The modern sense of "a sexually promiscuous woman" dates to at least 1450.
Another early meaning was "kitchen maid or drudge" (c. 1450), a meaning retained as late as the 18th century, when hard knots of dough found in bread were referred to as "slut's pennies." A notable example of this use is Samuel Pepys's diary description of his servant girl as "an admirable slut" who "pleases us mightily, doing more service than both the others and deserves wages better" (February 1664). In the 19th century, the word was used as a euphemism in place of bitch in the sense of "a female dog."[2]
Similar words appear in Dutch, German and Swedish dialects meaning "a dirty woman," indicating a common ancestor in Germanic languages. The word entered the colloquial Yidish as "akhsluttishkha" meaning "a hag". It exists in Ukrainian too as slutyj as a loan word from Yidish or via the mediaeval Scandinavian Varangian colonists in Kievan Rus'. A popular theory connects slut to earlier Germanic forms meaning "slush" or "mud puddle," but this derivation remains in question.
Common usages
The accepted denotative meaning is a sexually promiscuous woman[3] or "a woman of a low or loose character; a bold or impudent girl; a hussy, jade."[4] These definitions identify a slut as a person of low character a person who lacks the ability or chooses not to exercise a power of discernment to order their affairs, such as a cad, rake, or womanizer. The adjective "slutty" carries a similar connotation but can be applied both to people and to clothing and accessories, such as Halloween costumes. [5]
The term slut is therefore frequently used as an insult. The derogatory power of the term derives both from its denotative meaning of a promiscuous woman, but also from its historical and regional connotations or alternate meanings that identify a slut as a dirty or unkempt person. These additional meanings and connotations are negative and identify a slut as being a slovenly and ugly person, for example as in these quotations from OED2:
Hearne, 1715: "Nor was she a Woman of any Beauty, but was a nasty Slut."
Shenstone, 1765: "She's ugly, she's old,... And a slut, and a scold."
I like to look at it as icing on the cake. No amount of icing is going to fix a lopsided cake. Get yourself together and know yourself and your likes and dislikes and hopefully you can avoid the traps by making logical decisions about what you truly need.
Then you can put the icing on.
Just one thing though. You usually have to go through relationships to find out whats going to eventually work for you. So dont be disappointed if your boyfriends dont turn out the way you expected.
It could have been that they just werent right for you.
If you think Im kidding just check out the spousal abuse and divorce type forums and read the horror stories. It can happen to anyone. The trick is to try not to let it happen to you.
Seriously, girls can be vicious. You are FINE!
