Girls, Is there a divide between "good girls" and "sluts"?

Or is "slut" just a way to shame natural female sexuality, and actually most women have a sex drive and sexual desires in pretty much the same way men do?

This has been interesting so far. With many women complaining about slut-shaming in other threads I didn't expect this many women to say "yes".

  • The human race are all sluts on the inside besides a-sexual people. The only difference between good girls and sluts isn’t that they are any different biologically but sluts having no self control where as good girls have good self control realizing that the only priceless thing we will ever have is our bodies and love and valuing yourself. Men want valuable things. So a girl, through her actions, showing her body is not valuable men will treat her like that. And same with a good girl, men will reflect how she treats herself MOST of the time in the beginning stages of interest. Also the type of interest from men will be totally different between a slut and a good girl. And this only does apply to women because as a women you should hold the responsibility that you, as a women, have MUCH more to lose than a man when having sex. It’s not an excuse for men to have lots of sex but it’s also not an excuse for YOU to have lots of sex just “because guys can sleep around why can’t I?” Thats extremely irresponsible and unattractive.

  • There is a huge difference difference between the two. But then names we give them aren't correct. A slut is a female who's confident in expressing her sexual desires just like men do, they don't fear judgement but care more about their own feelings and needs, so she's not a slut she's just sexually active woman. And a good girl might be shy or nervous about letting out her deepest sexual desires because of different factors or simply not interested in the kind of things the other type of woman are attracted to.

    • I think sluts are promiscuous by definition, whereas "sexually active" means that a person is having sex, doesn't mean that it's with multiple partners. A person can be in a monogamous relationship sexually active with his/her only partner.

  • There’s always going to be a ‘divide’ between two groups. Even though they may be of the same gender, they differ in more ways than one
    i. e. views on sex and what it means, cultural significance of sex, how important (or not) it is to be viewed favorably by men, etc..


    I think I’d fall into both categories you’ve mentioned, depending on my mood. I support some behaviours/views from both groups but I don’t place too much significance on it anyway. I mean.. it’s just a label in the end.

    • same

  • I care more about a girls honesty and dignity than I do about her sexual history - so long as she isn’t sleeping with guys that are taken or off limits or exploiting their emotions to feel better about herself - not to say promiscuity is okay but it’s between them and God and God will judge them if He chooses - all I care is they respect me and respect others

    • I like this opinion

  • girls who don’t Enjoy sex or like sex just when they like someone and sexually liberated girls are supportive of one another because all women are different, there’s no right or wrong way to be a good woman

  • High sex drive doesn’t necessarily mean a woman are going to mean that she is going to engage in casual sex. It comes down to a woman’s personality.

    I think the labels of good girl and slut can be harmful. The good girl girl might end up in a box feeling like any exploration is wrong if it falls out of “acceptable “ perimeters set by herself, her family or her community. It can bring undue guilt.

    For those who are labeled slut it can open the door to community disrespect towards that woman. A woman should not be judged as long as what she does is not harmful to herself or others.

    • My first sentence is messed up

  • Yes. I'm a good girl. I have never slept around, I have only slept with guys that I was in a very serious relationship with and I treat my body like its special, by not handing it out and showing it off to everyone.
    A slut will meet a guy and sleep with him in the same day and I mean this will be a reoccurring thing. First date? Sex... meet at a club? Sex... hanging out with a guy friend? Sex.

  • there is a divide. it is hard to take a girl who is showing half her ass seriously.

  • Good girls are girls who have sex when they meet a guy, get to know him and when he's ready, they have sex.


    "Sluts" are more promiscuous and have little interest in having a relationships, and just look for carnal gratification.


    Basically, one is more open (hehe get it) and one is more conservative and takes the effort and time to get to know the guys she's sleeping with and isn't a easy lay.

    Also, it can depends on her attitude and her behavior.

  • I don't think I understood how to answer so I'm going to clarify. I think most women have at least some degree of sex drive and sexual needs that need met. It's not a bad thing at all and it's a shame that so many women get a bad rep for it. I'm all for embracing your sexuality, whatever that looks like. If that's having sex with loads of partners or just a couple your entire life. Unfortunately, yes, there is a divide but only because women are so often shamed for their sexuality that it gets in their heads and messes them up. Women are conditioned to believe that their worth is based on their sexual experience and the more you have, the less you're worth and it's just not true.

  • So this is assuming that we're still holding women to the same standards as we did before and they are not allowed to use their body freely like men right? I do not believe that there is such thing as a slut. So is there a difference between a good girl and a slut no.

  • Nah. Good girls are just bad girls not caught. We're all sluts of varying degrees, some are just better at hiding it than others but it shouldn't be a defining factor of someone's personality.
