a version of the word slut that doesn't have a negative connotation?

I appreciate that. One male varmint, I have experience in handling. A posse would be a problem. If I hear a lot of hoofbeats and see a lot of dust arriving from the distance, I'll give you a call. Thank-you.
Never heard the term, "cunt-splice." Sounds as though it could be another name for tribbing, maybe?

Laughing out loud on that one....nooooo, not unless you're scrooching up tight to a Schooner or a 44-gun Frigate....might be interesting as a Figurehead though....
No, its a sailor's way of setting up rigging with lines spliced side-by-side with running lines leaving an eyelet hole.... if you look this splice up, youll see the older original name....our squeamy modern world shies from anything that indicates sex....which is why we sub 'gender' for "sex".....but....words have gender....people have sexes.

Ah, got it. And neither a schooner nor frigate would be the strangest things on which I've humped myself.
Huh...I could take one of those cannonbarrels for a good ride...just saying, slut that I am.
 
Thank you Animal_Lover for opening this topic.
This could be a slippery salope (salope being the French word for "slut").

“Slut” is defined as a prostitute, an untidy or dirty woman. In derogatory use it identifies a (sexually) immoral woman.
It appears in English circa 1400, borrowed from another word, which was based on a Norwegian word meaning: impure liquid, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you have to be a woman to be a slut?

The authors of, “The Ethical Slut” by by Janet W. Hardy and Dossie Easton propose reclaiming the word “slut” from its usual use as a pejorative, recasting it as a simple label for a promiscuous person.

Would this be similar to efforts that have been made to remediate other perfectly good words like “queer”?

The authors offer this definition: “A slut is a person of any gender who has the courage to lead life according to the racial proposition that sex is nice and pleasure is good for you”.

Being a slut by this definition is not easy. I tried and failed.

Good to see you pardner...:)
 
My sincere thanks to the OP for such a good thread, and the opportunity it provided a few other fine ladies and myself, to show the mortals on the thread what a true slut really can be. Thank-you.
 
For me it all depends how the word is said. Is it nasty with anger or like a put down or is it more like a positive thing. Like a compliment. I’ve been called a slut in a way I hated it. I’ve also been called a slut in a way that I love actually. It all depends who is calling me a slut and how it’s being said and for what reason. I hope this all makes sense.

No doubt, that is true. It can be said by the wrong person in a very ugly way.
 
It'd be hard for me to come up with such a word, as the word "slut" to me seems to connect to someone that regularly engages in infidelity. I'm the worst person to ask about this, since 2 of the 3 exes cheated on me, thus explaining why I have such a strong, visceral reaction to the word.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I've been in a one-on-one relationship only once, and was faithful. I guess it was the way I was raised.
Fantastic slut that my mother was, she was never unfaithful to my dad. I really respected that.

According to my Collins: Slut - an immoral woman. Slutty - sexually promiscuous. Whore - prostitute, a promiscuous woman.

I have absolutely no issue with a woman who proclaims herself a slut or whore. I praise and encourage it! Be it with her human or animal partners. Only proviso would be that where applicable, everyone knows the score. But perhaps that's the issue? Unsure....all the same, I am a fan.
 
As to a better word, they used to, in pre Edwardian days ( Edward the seventh, not that idiot he sired) call the gals who were eminently easy " Gay" Girls, probably for good timer. Not sure how the word morphed, but words in english often have a mind of their own. Didnt see that one in the Thesaurus. They also used " Cyprian" fairly frequently. Victorian Underground Novels such as 'My Secret Life', 'Gamiani', 'A Man And A Maid' and subscription magazines such as 'The Pearl' can be quite educational...."she-noodle" comes to mind....the fellow was writing about his cousins. So do ''mount'' and "filly". I'd say "available" works. "Skunk" was a thing in Md. 50 years ago, as was "hide".
 
I find these below kinda funny:
Going to call my mares names next time they are in heat and start doing marey things:

Floozy
Tart
Minx
Hussy
Trollop
Wench
Mole

I love the word and would never use it in a negative way
 
Other than being honored with someone's trust, being called a slut by a partner is a supreme compliment. When she calls me that,
it tells me I've done everything right, and have driven her out of her mind.
 
I will reiterate. I am very happy to be called both slut and whore, and girl and tart. I am very happy with who I am and what I am. I actually get off on being called those and worse/better! Yes, those words can be used in a derogatory manner, but so can any word if you think that way. I work with people who call each other "cunty-bollocks", "shit-for-brains", "dickhead" etc and they mean it in the warmest of ways. Life is mostly a happy state of affairs!
 
To the OP's question, I don't think there IS another word, and if there is, it's some form of variation, rather than a milder replacement word. I DO think that the CONTEXT of the usage is much more important than the word itself though. That's the way I view it anyway. I'm a guy, so slut has never even registered on my radar, it's just bounces off me like a pebble, odds are I won't even take note of it really.

I don't know if the level of insult is the same, but the word cocksucker, for men, was also an insult, still is actually. But, like slut, it's usage has been altered over time, watering down the original intent and, in some cases, held up as a point of positive recognition. I KNOW there are people who take these words in and of themselves as harmful or mean or whatever, but I've simply never given individual words that much power in my life. That doesn't mean that I don't think words have power, they do, it just, I guess reflects my larger view that context is the more important device of the 2 things.

Calling me a cocksucker with a smile on your face and calling me a cocksucker with menace on your face and in your tone, those are 2 VERY different situations. In fact, calling me cocksucker with a smile on your face and calling me lollipop with menace are EXACTLY the same scenario as the 2 cocksuckers. One is good (positive), one is malicious. The individual power of words lessens over time and usage.

The word witch, for example........someone calls you a witch today.......what does that mean? Nothing really, when you think about it. BUT, at one time, being called a witch gets you dragged thru the town square, beaten, spit on, abused in general, tied to a stake and burned alive. 2 very different outcomes for the same word.

1,) Words have the power WE give them
2.) Context of usage is an AMPLIFIER of that power, is in fact, a power all it's own.
3.) Individual words themselves lose their power over time because of our changing perceptions of what they mean over time.
4.) After a certain amount of perceptual change takes place, context of usage is really the only power that remains.

Nympho, or the whole word" Nymphomaniac" has VERY negative connotations, and rightly. First, as a psychology term, since it has NO counterpart in terms describing any male sexual behavior, and in the more common usages of the last seven decades or so. Anytime a male will use a word with other males that he won't use in the presence of women, you can be sure it has negative connotations.

Yeah, but if we start using the word nympho then it will gain negative connotations. The truth is that promiscuous women do not like being called out, period.
