I told you not to annoy her! She's made you out to be some kind of... scarlet woman!
— Ron Weasley to Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Trudging slowly along was a woman, naked to the waist and with her long hair falling over her breasts, moaning and wincing each time a man who walked behind her slashed his whip across her shoulders. Following in her wake and trailing beside her was a considerable crowd—laughing jeering little boys, grown men and women, who mocked and taunted.
"Oh! Look at that woman! They're beating her!"
Sally Goodman glanced at her and then away, her face complacently untroubled. "Don't waste your sympathy, my dear. Wretched creature—she must be the mother of a bastard child. It's the common punishment, and no more than the wicked creatures deserve."

Yes, a dozen; and as many to the vantage as would
store the world they played for.
But I do think it is their husbands' faults
If wives do fall: say that they slack their duties,
And pour our treasures into foreign laps,
Or else break out in peevish jealousies,
Throwing restraint upon us; or say they strike us,
Or scant our former having in despite;
Why, we have galls, and though we have some grace,
Yet have we some revenge. Let husbands know
Their wives have sense like them: they see and smell
And have their palates both for sweet and sour,
As husbands have. What is it that they do
When they change us for others? Is it sport?
I think it is: and doth affection breed it?
I think it doth: is't frailty that thus errs?
It is so too: and have not we affections,
Desires for sport, and frailty, as men have?
Then let them use us well: else let them know,
The ills we do, their ills instruct us so.

Real Life
At the age of 22, I fell in love with my boss. And at the age of 24, I learned the devastating consequences. Can I see a show of hands of people here who didn't make a mistake or do something they regretted at 22? Yep, that's what I thought. So like me, at 22, a few of you may have also taken wrong turns and fallen in love with the wrong person. Maybe even your boss. Unlike me, though, your boss probably wasn't the President of the United States of America. [...] Now I admit I made mistakes — especially wearing that beret. But the attention and judgment that I received — not that story, but that I personally received — was unprecedented. I was branded as a tramp, tart, slut, whore, bimbo, and of course, "that woman".

— Thomas C. Hickey, Do You Dress Like A Harlot
It is a sad thing in our day that the leopard print is showing up on, clothes, purses, etc. of young girls, Even if someone did not understand the ancient connections to Nimrod/Dionysus, this type of dress, even today is associated with harlots and lewd women. Is it a "cute" thing to dress children as pimps and prostitutes? Many Sodomite, worldly clothes designers think so.
— Long Run Baptist Church, The Origin of Valentine's Day and the Heart Symbol
A woman, the only one, who was able to project the glowingly innocent sexuality of being from some planet uncorrupted by guilt — who found herself regarded and ballyhooed as a vulgar symbol of obscenity — and still had the courage to declare "We are all born sexual creatures, thank God, but it's a pity that so many people despise and crush this natural gift."
From the wicked woman who takes her clothes off, to the wicked person who photographs her, to the wicked 7-11 or convenient store owner and clerk that sells the dirty magazines, to the person who buys the naked photos... they are all accountable to God for their wickedness. And I should add, it is just as wicked for a woman to look at male pornography. Playgirl magazine is equally wicked to God.

—OSW Review on WrestleMania VI
on WrestleMania VI"Once a girl makes a decision to have sex, she might figure "Well, I'm not pure anymore, so I might as well have sex with whoever asks." Her self-esteem will be shot and she will no longer feel as though she has no right to protect herself. Furthermore, she might also feel as though she has no right to enjoy herself. Rather than owning her sexuality and enjoying sexual pleasure, she might think of sex as dirty and shameful, a belief that will haunt her even when she's married and trying to enjoy sex with her husband.
—Dr. Laura Berman on "Purity Balls"
"I remember in school one time, I had a teacher who was talking about abstinence, and she said, ‘Imagine you’re a stick of gum. When you engage in sex, that’s like getting chewed. And if you do that lots of times, you’re going to become an old piece of gum, and who is going to want you after that?’ Well, that’s terrible. No one should ever say that. But for me, I thought, ‘I’m that chewed-up piece of gum.’ Nobody re-chews a piece of gum. You throw it away. And that’s how easy it is to feel you no longer have worth. Your life no longer has value.
"Some women are frigid because their husbands are puritan fellows "Holier Than Thou", with the result that they feel repressed and afraid of letting their impulses go, certain they would be judged as improper. A system of morality which condemns any kind of sexual conduct denies them the benefits of regular release."
—Dr. Miguel Sixto Mosqueira, Sexual Frigidity in Women
I've been thinking about how, despite some incredible social change, these models of gender identity still play with our minds. For some of us who were brought up with incessant chatter about our bodies-be modest but be pretty, be alluring but don't expose yourself, cover up elbows and necks but be sure you look good, be fashionable but not arrogant, wear heels but don't swagger, wear lipstick but not too red, lose weight but girls shouldn't sweat-there can be some lingering traumas around our sexuality that have not really been named. This chatter silences our own inner voices, our ability to ask what we feel and what we want. If the entire community owns my body, how am I supposed to use my body for myself, for my own pleasure and my own needs? For me, the layers about my body in my family of origin-about my stomach, my ankles, my chin and my chest-left me with a very pained relationship with my own body, one that took me 15 years to unravel.
—Elana Maryles Sztokman, When Great Sex is a Feminist Issue
The devil in disguise is that haloed, finger-wagging crusader who pollutes our minds with the propaganda that Sex Is Evil. And many of the publishers of pornography aren't helping things either, as they describe the sexual acts they promote as dirty, filthy and naughty. "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil" (Isaiah 5:20). Sure the abuse of sex is evil-so is the abuse of Bon Bons.
It's extremists like Reverend Falwell who keep the Larry Flynts of the world rolling in dough. For centuries, misguided Christians have been imposing their legalistic rules of sexual expression on a weary public. That's why Hustler and Playboy have such a hot market. What should be freely available is considered as a menace to society.
God only knows how many call girls have lined their pockets because somewhere in Christiandom, a nice girl was naively "saving herself" for marriage. Granted, this was important in biblical times-women married much younger and contraceptives had not yet been invented. But times have changed.

So as a man, you have a choice to make:
You either like beautiful women who are cold-out sex, that likes sex, that look hot, that are most likely experienced in bed, that are not likely to respond well to slut-shaming.
Or you can go for unattractive girls, which is fine. They are more likely to be inexperienced.
They are not likely to have as much male attention on them, so you can feel secure about the size of your cock because when you think of girls as sluts and shame them, again it's this little poison drip that just poisons your mind as well. It causes women to see you as this no-fun sourpuss, and you end up pushing girls away.

Men who have sex with women and then slag them off about it afterwards, you are the worst! "Yeah, she blew me right there in the car park. What a slut." You were there too! Don't be all puritanical after the fact. If you didn't want it to happen it wouldn't have happened. You could've said, "Excuse me, what kind of a man do you take me for?! I hardly know you, young lady. I need to be wined and dined and seduced before these shenanigans commence. Uh-uh, My Eyes Are Up Here" No you didn't. You went for it and you enjoyed it, and then you slag her off afterwards. That's not on. "Yeah, she blew me right there and then, what was she thinking?" I don't know, maybe that you'd return the favor, you ungrateful shitebag. You don't have to, at least don't call her a slut. Somebody says, "How did the date go?", you say "She was most obliging and accommodating. I hope to see the young lady again. We share similar interests."
I'm sure there are some women now going, "Oh, look at him being on our side, making his feminist points." No, fuck you, this is not about you. It's about you men who do this, who slag off women for having sex, who make women feel bad for having sex. 'Cause every women who's ever turned me down for sex on the grounds that she "didn't want to get a reputation?" That was your fuckin' fault! You did that to me! Treacherous, self-defeating, cock-blocking arseholes, every one of ya. Traitors to your own kind, every man jack of you.

"My reaction: Why? Beyoncé is incredibly talented — gifted, in fact. She has an exceptional set of pipes and can actually sing. She is a terrific dancer — without the explicit moves best left for the privacy of her bedroom. Jay-Z is a very shrewd businessman, but I wonder: Does it occur to him that he is arguably crossing the line from husband to pimp by exploiting his wife as a sex object?"
And will you not more readily infer assent in the practiced Messalina, in loose attire, than in the reserved and virtuous Lucretia?
