A question for the more "experienced" women...

If you are a woman who has had several partners, I am wondering if anyone ever labeled you with one of the more derogitory terms that people sometimes like to use. You probably know the terms I'm talking about. Did anyone ever call you those names? Did you ever worry about being thought of in that way? Please don't misundertand this discussion. I am just wondering how you handled some of our societies negativity toward women who choose not to remain "prim and proper".

Hi miamilady! I have to say that most of the times,multiple partners or not,at one time or another we are all labeled something..lol..and probably called a nasty name or two. I usually just try to remember something my grandmother told me...If they are talking about me..they are giving someone else a break. I am prim and proper with or without their acceptance and other things too

no, because most women have multiple partners in the usa and canada from the time the date, get married, divorce and date again. So no nobody every called me any names. they were too busy trying to find a good partner for themselves.

hmmm... how people tend to designate women, in my not-so-humble opinion, is a reflection of the entire society--it's not the woman who is a Wh*** or what-have-you, but it's the entire culture. I think we could all benefit from a little better judgment, and a little temperance, and a whole lot of fidelity... But before you suggest (or suspect) that I'm preaching know that I'm definitely including myself, and simply suggesting that we've all lost our way and our dignity along the way. dr...

My father called me a sl*t the night my boyfriend told him I was pregnant. The look on his face was filled with disgust and hatred. I was 16. I have never forgotten. We can't stop what people think of us. Some will always think and see the worst no matter what we do. I try not to worry about it but I know it has affected me.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I think that is the worst possible reaction a parent can have to their teen daughter becoming pregnant. You seem to have turned out pretty good to me! :-)

I truly feel that a woman can choose to lead her life the way/manner in which she chooses, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS...and if she chooses to be indiscreet, and flaunts her promiscuity, then she must be aware of the consequences, and that is that she will be labelled! A woman can have multi-partners, but if discreet it is of no consequence! Cheers!

Hi miamilady! Yes, I do know what you mean! I don't think that I especially took it as a compliment although I do think that was what it was meant as? But, just the same it was one that I surely could have done without. But, then again I was alot younger then! I didn't really think that I considered myself as a beotch in bed particularly! But, that was then and I can tell you that my boyfriend now wouldn't believe it if I told him! He has a completely different idea about me! I think he might have been thrilled to know me then! lol
