Sensual women/slutty women. What's the difference?

Describe what you think the difference is. What defines a slut/hoe/whore and a woman who just enjoys casual sex? What makes the two different. Detailed explanation needed.

Hm. I thought sensual was a woman that was classy, but made you want to f her. Sexual was an over the top obvious attempt at attraction. Sluts will give it to anybody. Casual sex was a woman who. Would mingle with a sex interest for a bit before giving it up. I don't see how ANYONE could sleep with someone knowing nothing besides their name. Seems dangerous even if all you want is a nut.

  • A slutty woman is a woman who spends much time in the bedroom, and a sensual woman is a woman who spends little time there, but evokes it, or, is good there.

    I don't agree with the definitions, but they seem to be like that... Catherine Millet describes upheld standards in (I think 50s?) France in her book, where she describes one of her ex-lovers as having a 'Bourgeoise girl who could say such poetic things as 'Touch my breasts, they are so soft tonight' and not let him go any further'. She says she was never like that, a 'seductress', 'and by that I was always ranked along with the men.'

    While there isn't much use of the word slut in the orgy scene, that clarifies a fairly loose distinction, I think... If that makes sense to you, ahahah.

    • Oh you're looking for an actual answer, not a 'commonly used term' answer. Well... The only difference is slut is used when you think what they're doing is wrong; it's an insult. Sensual is used when you think what they're doing is right; it's a compliment. For you, anyone given to casual sex would be a slut, since you think it's wrong, no? It's an entirely personal distinction, they're unrelated insults and compliments. Who I might find sensual you find slutty, etc.

    • @Update. Well, uh... PERMIT ME TO DISAGREE

  • to me, a woman who enjoys casual sex is self aware. Reserved, she doesn't parade who she likes at a particular moment. She knows what she wants, doesn't do it every weekend, and respects herself. A whore is not confident in herself, has sex partially to make herself feel prettier, and switches her crushes/men she openly says she wants routinely. This is just my experience though.

  • A lot of people think a woman who has a lot of casual sex is slutty, a woman who is sensual only shows that true sexual inner prowess to a man who has committed to her and cares about her on more than just a sexual level.

    But if it is all casual sex, a slutty woman would give it up to anyone who gives her attention and also really put herself out there by dressing in an attention drawing way and really throwing herself out there in a cheap way that looks almost desperate. A "non slutty" casual sex woman is more discreet about it and doesn't flaunt her entire body and sexuality to everyone.

  • i don't believe in terms like slut, personally. although I can't imagine that most people who use those terms actually differentiate between those types and women who enjoy casual sex. that's pretty much the definition of slut for most people - a woman who regularly enjoys sex outside of relationships.

    some people may use those terms for "home wreckers" only though. idk.

    however, sensual is more about how you move, how you have sex, not how much sex you have.

  • there is no difference. women are JUST as sexual as men. we love sex, it feels amazing so people need to stop labeling women as sluts, hoe, whores, etc... I'm a firm believer than if a man can do it a female can as well.

    • I know we're all sexual. I just don't think everyone should f*** anyone whenever they want. It's trashy. I was asking what logic they have to say a woman is a "whore" vs a woman who has casual sex. What exactly IS a woman who enjoys casual sex.? The area is muddied for me and I need clarity. I'm prude with sex having only been with one before my husband. I just need to clear myself of ignorance.

    • i don't believe that casual sex is trashy. if they are both consenting adults than its fine. it takes 2 to tangle so if she's trashy or a whore than he is as well. men get looked at when they bang a lot of women as being "the man" and looked upon yet women are looked down on. I've only been with one person but if I choose to be with 70 men id be fine with that too. I just don't like those terms at all

    • I'm asking about women. My standards are the same for men. I understand your point. I do I'm just focusing on women right now.
