Re: Non-fandom Secrets
(Anonymous) 2013-02-12 03:09 am (UTC)(link)I'm just going to answer all in one post, so hopefully everyone else who's asked me these questions will see it.
I define a slut as someone who has casual sex. I don't necessarily feel that it's "wrong" to be one, in that it doesn't really hurt anyone, but I do think it's a mark of emotional immaturity. I view sex as an extremely intimate thing; sex is to the body as marriage is to the heart. I have no problem with sex before marriage, but I would definitely side-eye anyone who got married to someone they barely know, or aren't in love with. People ridicule celebrities for doing that kind of thing; that same ridicule is what I feel towards "sluts". So no, I don't equate sluttiness to some horrible crime or anything. I just think it's stupid to have sex with someone if you don't know them, or if you don't have strong feelings for them.
I have no cultural background for this belief, except for the fact that this is what I have always known. Until recently, the only context I ever heard about it in was as a follow-up to a strong emotional connection. But I don't think anyone ever needs a reason to think anything. Opinions aren't formed consciously; they happen. So I refuse to "blame" my upbringing for how I feel about any particular issue. Even if that was a factor, I doubt it was a large one. That's just my belief, though...what will you do?

(Anonymous) 2013-02-12 10:21 am (UTC)(link)The thing is, I also view sex as an extremely intimate thing... for me. If other people don't feel the same connection that I do between emotional intimacy and sex, and consider protected casual sex to simply be a form of physical recreation, why is that stupid? I could see thinking someone stupid if they had the same sex=intimacy feelings that I did and still had casual sex, because they'd be making themselves highly emotionally-vulnerable to people they didn't know. But if sex doesn't have those attributes in their mind? Then I don't see what's stupid about it.
Nor do I expect everyone to have exactly the same preferences and priorities that I do; someone isn't stupid or immature for having butter-pecan as their favorite ice cream flavor, even if it seems blatantly obvious to me that chocolate is far superior. But it seems like you think a person is stupid and immature if they don't relate to sex emotionally in the same way that you do. Why?
