Quote from giorno
so, why would sleeping with several different partners make a woman a slut instead of promiscuous?
(this is pretty much what i've been trying to say, english isn't my native language and i'm not very good at expressing myself with it)
That depends on the speaker, the word choice depends on them. The point is that the word "slut" is essentially only used as a derogatory term (or, at best, carries an inherently negative connotation). "Promiscuous" is not, although it can be.
Having sex with multiple partners implies either infidelity or a set of values that tend to go against traditional judeo-christian culture, and as English is historically ruled by that culture, it's derogatory. Does that answer your question?

NightSwan also said that she wanted to peg me, once, but I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or a threat...
