Dear Trinity,
If a man sleeps with 12 different people in one year, one person a month, is he considered a slut? Moreover, if a man sleeps with 12 different people in one month, and no one else for the rest of the year, is he also considered a slut? And, lastly, am I a slut?
Slut Worries, Phoenix, Az.
Dear Slut Worries,
To the first man I would say, “What the hell are you doing for the rest of the month? Living off blow-up dolls and Ben And Jerry’s ice cream?” And to the second man who is spending 11 months on his knees praying for forgiveness, I would say to him, “Honey, get off your knees, pull your face out of your hands and start enjoying your biological urges and healthy appetite.” One-night stands are acts of survival and pleasure not religious persecution and emotional bondage. Feeling like a slut means not respecting your sexual instincts or carnal desires. It also means not respecting your mate. Thus, in order to rise from the bowels of slutdome to the garden of healthy abundance, first, respect your instincts. They are real. And, secondly, respect your partners. They are real as well. And in that magic moment of revelation, you will no longer feel like a slut, but rather a healthy sexual being, dining out at a plentiful buffet not obsessing over your last supper. Oh, yes! Even though you may not be a slut, you may be…a hypochondriac.
