Prostitution notwithstanding, is the word whore - in any way - a pejorative or is it not?

I'm proud to be called a whoremonger.

Well then you should be on nut two or three by now....and btw, that IS my answer. Not my fault you didn't like it.





Now, please excuse me Olivia Darlin', being the Trick that I am, I'm off to go pay another woman who sell's the pussy to fuck me....aka, a Whore

Become a nun. Nobody called Mother Theresa a whore. Not to my knowledge anyway.

So the answer is No. No you don't call other men's women, mamas and daughters - of all ages whores in front of them and probably not even behind their collective backs because you know you'd get at the very least bowed up to or an the extreme end get your ass whipped. That's what I thought. You know Iove ya, but that's what you're saying - You don't call women whores when their men are around because you know it's wrong and you don't want your ass kicked.

Peace Baby

The word has a negative connotation - that's obvious. I agree that if you are not a whore, it's offensive. I notice you keep referring to loved ones - ie mother, daughter, sister , etc, but I missed the part where someone called someone's loved one/civie a "whore". I did read, however of what caused such an uprising - LD referring to a female that sells herself a "whore". I guess I have the wrong definition of what a whore was?? No, what's understood doesn't have to be spoken. This is a board specific to women selling their asses (oops, let me say 'behind so as to not cause another roaring)...Im not being sarcastic here, just proving a point. Maybe its the sound that gets people. Hiny vs ASS vs Bottom vs Booty. All have the same definition. Some just sound nicer. derriere/courtesan = Ass/Whore ... no? Did southern culture mislead me? Darn!

Happy Holidays and play safely

Sweet.LOL.



I love how many times my name came up in this thread.

Move over boardman.. Its all about me now. :-)

Surely I am not the first person here to refer to someone as a whore... Where was your cape then, Capt. Sav A Ho? All for women huh? Where were you during Whale Wars? Your New World Spanish Yucatan peninsula ass was diving for cover.. Hehe.

what it all pretty much boils down to me is that I am the only one that checks my behavior, you are the only one that checks yours. You can argue about the word until you are blue in the face. It's comical because not only will I continue to use the word, but there's not shit that you can, or will, do about it. It's fun watching you chase your tail though. :-)

Maybe you missed this Olivia...is post #23 not showing up for you

"You don't call other men's daughters - of all ages, wives or mamas whores or sluts. And if you ever called them - any of them - a whore or a slut, you did so in anger....................and I'll bet the fight spiraled to shit from there if you did."

And YES, I have called "any of them" a whore or slut or bitch..."in anger". So, if a fight did break out, it didn't spiral into shit just because I used a "WORD"





If you're going to harp on "in front of them"...that really shouldn't matter but, yes I have. I've called my cousin, my uncle's daughter a slut, IN FRONT OF HIM....He knows it as well as she does, is that "keepin' it real enough for ya"

My bad, I did miss that. Jesus, bet family gatherings at your place is a trip then. But you have to know that's out of the norm. It's also out of the norm to admit it. So kudos to you.

Now you're just being ridiculous. For one, you started all this shit. And secondly, I bring it up when I read it. You know that. I'm not like you. I have shit to do and don't read every fucking thread on the site like you. And no, this didn't start over the word whore. This started when you made a snide remark about twelve women you don't know because Still Looking is out of your reach. Petty, very petty.

I guess I'll never figure out why you hate some words that are, in all actuality, just words, but you fucking just love to death the word whore. Guess the only thing to say is a quote of Al Swearengin's from Deadwood, "I'd rather try touching the moon than take on a whore's thinking." Good luck Daphne in life. I hope the scraps fill you belly and keep you warm at night.

Thancks whore... are you done?

[Old-T]

I wasn’t aware that this was such a hot current topic. I might not have even opened this thread but a friend of mine pointed it out to me and she thought I might find it interesting because of some of our (hers and mine) other conversations in the past. It’s a couple days after Christmas and I have some actual time to compose my thoughts so I will add my few words.

First I’ll caveat my comments by saying I am not a Texan and spend little to no time in Houston, so I am likely oblivious to any Houston back stories. It does seem some of the posters here have a history much older than this thread.

I voted “Yes”, even though I know a few ladies who use the term and think nothing of it. I said “Yes” because words have contextual meaning beyond what we would LIKE them to have. Whether its “whore”, “slut”, “cunt”, “bitch” or a lot more, they DO carry with them a negative connotation. If they didn’t, then Bambino’s comment “Become a nun. Nobody called Mother Theresa a whore.” Wouldn’t be true.

Walk up to an older woman you don’t know on the street who is accompanied by a younger man who could be her son and call her any of those names in a neutral to hostile tone and see what happens. Anyone who claims there is no implied denigrating meaning is whistling past the graveyard.

Growing up the whore term implied someone who was a prostitute strictly for the money. The money was king and she would do almost anything to get it, including robbing, scamming, etc. It was typically associated with street walkers and pimped women. By easy analogy it was used as an insult to someone of any profession who was only interested in the cash and would provide shoddy (if any) service/product if they could get away with it. With that background it has always seemed a negative term no matter how it is used.

It’s not universally true, but even now with the on-line age and boards like this, I generally see women who refer to themselves as whores are often constructing their entire working persona to evoke a similar “I’ll do anything it takes” PSE type image. It may not be the image they intend, but I think it is there. By contrast I am definitely a GFE guy, and I can only remember one lady I have gone back to see who even jokingly referred to herself as a whore—and in her case it was clearly a joke.

Daphne, I have never met you and as far as I know we have no history on here. Since I don’t get to Houston I doubt we will meet, but I went and looked at your profile just now—you are a pretty young lady, and I though you painted a certain image of yourself on it—but I will also tell you it is not the image I had of you from reading this and the other related threads. Words do have meaning.

Even if there are sub communities out there that do not see it as a negative word, why would I take the chance of having my meaning misconstrued? There are many words I can use that don’t carry the same possibility of serious miscommunication. I would only use such terms if it was my intent to insult, and then it would be very clear that was my intent even if I used “polite” words. [And no, I don’t care to get into discussions about which word is more of an insult than the other.]

I know some on here don’t agree. They can use whatever terms they wish to in whatever situations they choose. For me, I’ll pass. I think my vocabulary is wide enough I can find other terms to express myself.

[Guest050715-1]

Well said Old-T. The thoughts you had about her website and her on board persona resonate. The woman that took offence to being called a whore pointed out that Daphne indeed does not use the word on her website. Just a thought to those that claim to embrace and love the word.

The other thing that caught my attention is calling a woman a whore when accompanied by a male. Everybody here knows what would happen - Everyone.

Whether LD wants it to be the facts or not, she called a woman a whore that took offense to it. The woman said A, LD doesn't use the word on her website which she doesn't. And more laughable B, that the word whore isn't pejorative. It is. That's why I started this poll to counter her ridiculous poll and asked PROSTITUTION ASIDE, is the world whore pejorative. THAT'S the discussion.

Yes, for true there are other words that could be used. Whore is used strictly in an attempt to demean the person being spoken to or, as some have pointed out, in dirty talk. (Personally I find whore used in dirty talk the mark of a lame Dom, but that's just me.) If you don't believe me, look at who uses the word. It's women putting other women down or whore-hating whore-mongers.

Happy Holidays back a cha.

[Hot to Trot Daphne]

Butt butt butt, its factual. The fact that you don't like it is irrelevant.

the word refers to woman that sells sex for money.

It is the act itself (slinging pussy) that makes the word offensive, not the word itself.

If whore takes offense to being called a whore, perhaps she shouldn't be one.

Yeah the word is dirty, and so is the act. What, you become pc when you take the cock out of your mouth?

Hilarious!
