I have recently considered exploring an avenue of my sexuality outside my relationship-there are some things that I really want to experience that my husband is not open to.

I was just talking to someone yesterday about this. She referred to herself as somewhat of a "slut" when she was younger. and I told her I don't see that as a derogatory term. It's a double standard term. Meaning women aren't allowed to enjoy sex and be happy with their wants and needs. I think a woman who knows who she is and what she wants is sexy. and if she thinks she is a slut then that is sexy. She just knows how to enjoy life.
I have heard several women use the term "slut" and meant it in a very sexy way. I would take it from them that it was meaning that they were very dirty in between the sheets. They didn't feel the word was demeaning at all.
Hi and welcome ck. Nice to meet you. Will you do me a favor? Please fill in your profile so we can know something about you. Thanks! Stick around and jump in anytime. There are some wonderful people here and we have fun!
Now, for your question. Me, personally, I don't like that word. I have used it jokingly about myself, but I really hate when someone else says it about me.
On another note, may I ask why you need to go outside your marriage? Have you tried talking to your husband about your wants and needs? Would you ever leave your marriage? Is this other man married? I'm just curious.
As a woman who embraces her sluttiness...I can't necessarily say that you're being "over sensitive" about the use of the word.
Sister -
I love it when you share this history...you and I have discussed it before, but I think more women should know the origin of the "c" word.
I agree the word epitomizes the double standard in todays society. Men who sleep around are studs. Women who do are sluts. But we all have our buttons and this is one of yours. And you are entertaining an intimate encounter with someone you don't even know,
