"Sex is Nice and Pleasure is Good for You"
slut [sluht]: a slut is a person of any gender who celebrates sexuality according to the radical proposition that sex is nice and pleasure is good for you
Sluts are pretty
Sluts are fine
Sluts know how to pass the time
Sluts are lovely
Sluts are smart
Sluts go dancing in the dark
Sluts have morals
Sluts have goals
Sluts are young and sluts are old
Sluts make your deposits
Sluts watch your kids
Sluts sell you the food you put in your fridge
Sluts are everywhere
Sluts are kind
Sluts feel free to give a piece of their mind
Some sluts are like you
Some sluts are like me
Sluts are just people, don’t you agree?

Oh, the feminist poet in me just won’t shut up today. I should put this in the next zine.
I enjoyed this.

Why someone may have their preferred pronouns listed on their tumblr:
- Because they don’t want people to misgender them
- Because they want people to respect their identity
- Because there may be other pronouns that trigger the fuck out of them and they want people to not use those
- Because, seeing how misgendering happens left and right, knowing what a person’s preferred pronouns are is something that is worth knowing as to not erase and invalidate people
What some people think having your preferred pronouns listed means:
- That a person is pretentious
- That a person is a “special snowflake”
- That a person is ‘being picky’
- That a person is purposefully trying to make the lives of others more difficult
- That a person is any number of negative things
What you’re probably being if you hold the opinions in column two:
- A jackass
- No, seriously. You’re very much likely being a jackass.
- Cissexist
- Binarist
What you need to understand:
- It’s not about you
- It’s not about making your life more difficult
- It’s not about policing everything that you say
- It is about not erasing other people
- It is about not invalidating the identities of others
- It is about respecting the identities of others and treating others how they deserve to be treated
What you need to stop doing:
- Attacking and degrading people for having preferred pronouns
- Attacking and degrading people when they tell you that you’ve used the wrong pronouns
- Purposefully using the wrong pronouns for a person, even after they’ve told you that they aren’t comfortable being referred to as such
One last thing that you need to understand:
- There’s a good chance that, at some point, you will use the wrong pronouns for someone. If this happens, don’t switch to douchebag-mode. Apologize (and meaning it would be good, too). Understand. And make efforts to not do the same thing in the future.

And if you’re really going to be an asshole more concerned about yourself than the person who has specified their pronouns, then it is FAR more becoming to admit you made a mistake and make an effort to call said person by correct pronouns.

That being said, this blog is also
Did I miss any? Basically, if you like it, I’m for it. I may not like it myself, but I fully support y’all’s endeavors (I live in the South now so I’m allowed to say “y’all”). So, go ahead, get on with your bad selves!
The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy (Buy it on Amazon!)
As you (not really sure who I’m talking to here since I don’t have any followers yet, but let’s go with it) may have guessed from my URL & title, The Ethical Slut is the main inspiration of this blog. I’ll be referencing and quoting it frequently; posting exercises from it for you and your partners to try; and using it as a general guide for what it means to be an ethical slut.
I highly recommend reading it regardless of your preferred relationship style; it has a ton of really great advice for anyone and everyone.
This blog is dedicated to eradicating the shame associated with sex, nonmonogamy, and any other alternative relationship styles.
Slut, as used here, is a celebratory word. There is nothing wrong with having a healthy sexual appetite and choosing to act on it. You only do wrong when you wrong yourself or others; having copious amounts of consensual sex is A-ok in my book!
