"I'm not a slut. I'm a nympho, but not a slut. There's a huge difference."

[charlie and algernon]

Poll question: "I'm not a slut. I'm a nympho, but not a slut. There's a huge difference."

Just heard that on MTV on their reality show, "The girls of Hedsor Hall." Another of these take societies undesirables and turn them into high society and watch the hillarity "Reality shows". :eyes:

So I wanted the wise people of the lounge to way in on this profound statement.

[DS1]

1. Being on a reality show makes someone garbage

nympho and slut is the least of her worries

[siligut]

4. Are reality shows setting unrealistic expectations for skanks?

[Lyric]

2. Other. Who the hell cares? Why is it anyone's damned business

who sleeps with who, and how often? "Slut" and "Nympho" are sexist, derogatory terms used for women who dare to enjoy sex without worrying about anybody's "moral approval."

This poll is shit.

[charlie and algernon]

7. you've never seen these shows, have you?

these aren't exactly women who are out to make a point or stand about the so-called norms of society.

[Lyric]

9. Nope. But I don't find it amusing that these women

seem to have internalized the sexism of our society to the point where they vigorously defend themselves when called one sexist label over another. I wish they understood that it doesn't have to be this way, this either-or, this defensively picking out the blurry separations between nympho, slut, and whore. :(

[charlie and algernon]

11. I hope you don't misunderstand me, I agree completely

all these girls (and guys) on this show, Rock of Love, For Love of Money, etc, have made some horrible choices in their lives for a variety of reasons. it is absolutely a shame that these people feel that going on these shows and humilating themselves is their only way out of their current lives.

[Lyric]

12. I personally think that reality shows are meant

to get us used to abject humiliation as a necessary part of making a living.

*sigh*

I do appreciate you making your own position clear, though. It really is tragic. There are days that I want to walk around campus with a t-shirt that just says WHORE and see what kind of conversations it might spur.

19. What's wrong with being sexy?

:shrug:

[Dr. Strange]

21. -IST. Sexist.

More than sexy.

[3.14158675309]

23. Okay, listen I wanted to tell you this and...and...I was holding back

because I didn’t know what Denis’ decision was going to be...but at this point both Sears and K-Mart stores have refused to handle Al's bum.

[HopeHoops]

3. There's nothing wrong with a nympho!

[Jamastiene]

14. There's nothing wrong with a nympho OR a slut.

:evilgrin:

33. Could make a lot of people very happy.......nt

[quakerboy]

5. Other: why were you watching that?

and having watched it, why are you admitting it to the lounge?

[charlie and algernon]

8. it's like a car crash, you can't look away

[quakerboy]

13. I can

Its easy. So many books in this world. and a computer. And at least 70 other channels. And my naked wife. I lack no distractions at this time.

[madinmaryland]

6. You're watching MTV??

:wtf: What a waste of bandwidth that channel is!

[Pierre.Suave]

10. IMHO

I would rather bring a girl who identified herself as a Nympho home with me, than I would a girl who identified herself as a Slut.

[Lost in CT]

36. Yeah Mental Illness trumps low self esteem any day of the week...

Okay I'm just being silly not an actual criticism.

:silly:

[deutsey]

16. Didn't they used to play music videos on MTV back in the old day? n/t

[bbernardini]

17. Look at it this way...George Bernard Shaw is influencing MTV's programming.

I wonder what classic play "Rock Of Love" is based on...

[underpants]

18. I actually saw that listed on TiVo

had no idea what it was

I posted this Friday night

[Lil Missy]

20. Stop watching shit like that. n/t

[Taverner]

22. Dudes and dudettes, sex is just sex. If you like it, that's great. Do it. Don't have any shame

Whether you're a "nympho" a "slut" or an "angel with a broken halo" :eyes: just accept who and what you are, and make no excuses

Live life...don't hide from it

[Chan790]

24. Other...

one should never feel the need to justify their sexuality or level thereof to others. If you feel good about who you are and the amount of sex and sexual partners you have, then who cares about labels...it's none of anybody else business anyways.

I'd never call myself a slut or a nympho.

[TK421]

25. Just give me a nympho who is commited to me only n/t

[mcctatas]

26. Why can't I be both?

:P

[PaddyBlueEyes]

27. OUTSTANDING

TOUCHDOWN IRISH.... :evilgrin:

[mcctatas]

28. Oh hi baby!

[PaddyBlueEyes]

29. Because

Im the lucky recipient of your pevvosity! ILY :hug:

[mcctatas]

30. back atchya...

but you are sooooooo much pevvier than I am!O8)

[PaddyBlueEyes]

31. Im shocked...

are you casting asparagus on my cathlocity? Im a altar boy... O8)

[kwassa]

32. How about a slympho?

Sort of a combo of both?

[jobycom]

34. What's with the Victorian stereotypes?

Thought that crap went out in the 70s. Do what you do, be honest about it, and watch the Republicans turn purple. Basing value judgements on sex is like wearing socks so you don't leave fingerprints.

[harmonicon]

37. it depends on how many people they're having sex with, doesn't it?

I had a girlfriend who.... well... we had A LOT of sex, but only with each other.
