My Girl Is a Slut: Difference between revisions

This applies to both sexes. Both men and women fall in love, are tempted to cheat on their partners, and feel jealousy when they suspect their partners are cheating on them. If you know that someone has had sex with many different people, this makes them attractive for a one-night-stand, because it suggests that it will be easy to get them into bed and that they will probably be good in it, but it makes them poor prospects for a long-term relationship; they didn't "settle down" with anyone else, so they probably won't settle down with you. Conversely, someone who has carefully guarded their "innocence" is more likely to remain faithful once in a relationship, but they aren't going to settle for anything less than True Love, either. Again, this, too, applies to both sexes. Both men and women tend to categorize potential mates along these lines, according to what is often referred to as the "virgin/whore dichotomy." In other words, in spite of its other benefits, sleeping around will tend to make it harder to find a steady, long-term relationship.

 

 

 

 

'''Important Note''': This trope applies if the girl is lauded by her man when she flirts with other men. [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|A girl flirting with other women]] all the time, ''even going all the way'', only applies ''if'' said girl also enjoys sleeping with men others than her boyfriend and he doesn't see anything wrong with that. If the girl only sleeps with other women but no man other than her boyfriend, [[I Thought It Meant|it's not this trope]].

 

Contrast, obviously enough, [[My Girl Is Not a Slut]], and, not so obviously, [[All Women Are Lustful]]. Compare [[Tenchi Solution]], [[Be a Whore to Get Your Man]], [[Good Bad Girl]].

She asks to have sex with them, but only on the condition that both of them penetrate her at the same time. Harold and Kumar hesitate because they are uneasy about the implications that they would also be having sex with ''each other''. Before anything happens, Freakshow walks in and appears to be angry; he calms down when reminded that he gave them permission, but then insists on participating. Harold and Kumar immediately leave, and [[Let Us Never Speak of This Again|resolve never to speak of it again]].
