slut : (noun)
1. a dirty, slovenly woman.
2. an immoral or dissolute woman; prostitute.
What makes a person a slut? Everyone has their own individual morals that dictate their actions. To one person, telling white lies is unacceptable. To another, cheating on a test is forgivable. And to someone else, cheating on a boyfriend or girlfriend is understandable. In general, there is a "to each their own" mentality, unless the person's moral code slips enough to blip off the law's radar.
But when it comes to sexual relationships, somehow the idea that everyone has a distinct moral compass is blurred. There are even labels for it. "Slut," "ho," "hussy," "whore."
There is a perception of Gay World that everyone in it casts a blind eye to promiscuity. This goes along with the "gays are wild animals who would just as likely hump you as look at you" world view. But then there are same-sex couples who are in monogamous committed relationships for years. There are heterosexual relationships that don't even last a long weekend.
Should allowances be made for gay men? Should their sexual relationships be held to a different standard, if there are other gay men who are engaging in the same promiscuous activity or worse?
A very dear Friend of mine met a Guy at a club a week and a half ago. They danced and drunkenly made out and exchanged numbers at the end of the night. Two nights later, they had their first date. Guy spent the night at Friend's house. After the first date. They have since had three additional dates, and Guy spent the night after each one.
Does this make him a slut? Or does it just make him gay?

Okay. Personally, I think the fact that the world views all homosexuals as sluts is ridiculous. Yes, there is a number of gay people that use their homosexuality as an excuse to be extremely (and dangerously) promiscuous. However, in my opinion, being gay does not give you the right to be a "slut" in any way. Now that has been said, there are several definitions of a so called "slut." I believe that as long as you are comfortable in your own moral values, and you are not simply using men for your own sexual endeavors, and you are comfortable with and understand what you are doing, then the term "slut" does not apply to you. Unless you're name is Lindsay Lohan. Then no matter what you think, you're a total slut.
gays are sluts...but then again...men in general are sluts! Let's get real, most men want to have sex, often, with different people. (ok ok ..not all but most) the difference with gay guys is that, opposite to a straight relationship, there is no woman to say "let's not go that fast". So much less time and money spent in pointless dinners and movies! When a gay guy goes with a movie or dinner with a guy...it's because we want to do it...it's not a means to get laid!...efficiency people..efficiency!
