When I think about reclaiming, I prefer the adjective, not the noun -- sleeping with a guy after knowing him for ten minutes might be slutty, but it doesn't make you A Slut. I guess. Especially if it's a numbers game -- maybe you only have sex every five years, but each time it's with someone you just met.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, I think I'm still a slut.
Oh, god, my head hurts and I just want to expire.

That one-book store is super cute, and obviously successful!
Also, I love sluts. Also slots, which is what I typed the first time....

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think I would only use the term slut for someone who tries to sleep with attached people or just throws themselves at people constantly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Huh. I kind of forgot that slut was a pejorative. It's just sort of free-lovey, yay!sex in my head.
Such a bubble I live in.

Heh. I'm reminded of the last drag conference--someone had the idea to buy those shiny stars, and declared green was if you were open to anything, yellow (gold) if you were limited/could only make out, and red if you were in a relationship. My friend Dana and I were like "but what about the silver stars?" (the only color left after that, but not assigned a status). We decided the silver stars were the slutty stars, and many people glommed on to that idea.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yipes, too many tornadoes! I found the footage Hayden linked to too scary to watch all the way through. So upsetting.
It's hard for someone inclined to use the word "slut" to really consider whether those numbers consist of guys that were well-chosen. The denotation is lots of guys. The connotation is indiscriminate.
I'm loving on bon bon's brain right now.
WRT the slut conversation, ita, I'm wondering why you want to apply the term slut to yourself. What gives?

I don't have an inherently negative association with the term. If you apply it to people who sleep with other people they barely know/just met, well, that's me.

OK, I can see that. So that's why you were asking which was the most relevant criteria, numbers or discrimiting taste?
Ugh. I just don't like the term slut I guess. I never much cottoned to the reclaiming of cunt either.
