is there such a thing as 'inner slut'?

[markgreyblue]

i was shopping yesterday at a really neat little clothing store here in FT. L and all of the pretty clothes has me going.. not to mention that they were are really sexy and if i had the body i would try to wear them -

so i started to try on things - reallly colorful outrageous things - and to speak to my previous post - i started to think about what was right for me -

i mean - and what was i saying by the clothes i was - would be wearing - i began to think about my language of communication and what i would be wearing as right for me -

it seems like a really repressive thing to do - but it wasn't it didn't turn out to be - it was a
process by which i began to understand

the 'inner slut' within me

but to know that is not what i wanted to accentuate in what i wore -

there's nothing wrong with flamboyancy or even slutitude -

i just did not want the tide of shopping excitement to blind me to this -

yeah sometimes - i wear things a little more revealing ----

and i suppose there is the idea that i could enjoy wearing all sorts of get-ups

for fun - for different ocassions -


but as i shopped i started to realize the important choices i was making to promote who i am - who i am becoming - who i will be -

anyway - that's all -

I think the slut thing is more than just an outfit. It's a whole attitude and mentality. It's how and what you talk about in social situations, what you project with your body language, and your overall reputation.

Wearing sexy clothes that you like and feel comfortable with not necessarily gives the impression of a slut. True, it may be misleading to some people, and if you are on a date or looking for one, "slutty" clothing may give the wrong impression to people. People may think that you are advertising for sex and not for serious dating.

Besides, I know a lot of people that look sexy no matter what they wear. Sexy and slutty are not the same thing in my opinion.

Flamboyant is more a matter of personality. I say enjoy any clothes you like and feel comfortable with. Just make sure you dress (or undress) for the occasion.

 

Mark,

I understand this feeling well. When I came out a few years ago (a short period where I said damn the torpedos, full speed ahead), I did a lot of shopping and trying new things. Things with a little flair and style.

I think there is a bit of the inner slut in all of us. And wanting to dress the part sometimes I think is pretty normal.

Course, I ended up putting all the nice things away and went back to the usual "macho" style of plain dressing. But it was fun and I will probably do it again on of these days.

Like when I had a flat top down and my hair bleached. At my age it took ten years off. Maybe it's time to reach in for that guy again?

If each of us would express his/her inner slut a little more, this society would be far less repressed, more joyful. I'm all in favor of the inner slut stepping forward... we only need to remember that the slut in us is part of our ethical self.
