The word "slut" is thrown around way too often. Women are accused of being slutty after they do the most innocent things. Even if you are a woman who likes to sleep around, there's nothing wrong with that, as long as you're practicing safe sex and aren't breaking too many hearts. Of course, it doesn't matter if you're sexually active or a virgin, because these "slutty" things are actually healthy for you to do:

1. Wear Revealing Clothing
It's healthy to be comfortable with the way your body looks. If you love your legs, then don't be afraid to wear short shorts. If you love your breasts, don't be afraid to show off some cleavage. You're not slutty for wearing revealing clothing. It's actually better for you to feel comfortable showing some skin than to be embarrassed by your looks.
2. Take Birth Control Pills
Some people will assume that you're sexually active, just because you're on birth control. Of course, that's far from the truth. Some women start the pill in order to regulate their periods. Even if you're on birth control, because you're sexually active, it means you're doing your best to prevent pregnancy. That's something to be proud of, not ashamed of.
Frequently asked questions
Believe it or not, things like wearing bold outfits, expressing your desires, or having open and honest communication about your needs can all be super healthy for your self-esteem and mental well-being.
Embracing your 'sluttiness' can help you build confidence, encourage you to live authentically, and promote a more positive body image. It’s about loving yourself and your choices.
Acting 'slutty'—or more accurately, being unapologetic about your sexuality—can reduce stress, boost happiness, and help you feel more liberated and in control of your life.
Absolutely! Wearing clothes that make you feel sexy and confident can be empowering. It’s about wearing what you love and what makes you feel good, not about what others think.
The key is to focus on your own happiness and confidence. Surround yourself with supportive people who love you for who you are, and remember that their judgment often says more about them than it does about you.
3. Make the First Move
If you like a guy, ask him out on a date. It's the twenty-first century, which means there's nothing wrong with the woman making the first move. If you want to kiss a guy, kiss him. If you want to take him out to dinner, then take him. It doesn't make you desperate. It makes you a strong woman.
4. Date Multiple Men
As long as you're not in a committed relationship with any one man, there's nothing wrong with going out on a date with one guy one day and another guy the next day. Don't settle for the first man who kisses you. The more men you meet, the higher your chances will be of finding someone who's actually right for you.
5. Be Comfortable Talking about Sex
You don't want to be the girl who giggles at the word "penis" in health class. You want to be the girl who sits there quietly and actually pays attention to what the teacher has to say. The more comfortable you are talking about sex, the more educated you'll become. So don't hold back your questions.
6. Have a Lot of Guy Friends
You probably aren't sleeping with all of your guy friends. Even if you are, it's healthy for you to be surrounded by men. That way, you'll learn how their brains work. When you end up in a serious relationship, the information you learned from them will come in handy.
7. Sleep with Someone You like
If you're educated about sex and want to sleep with someone you find attractive, then don't let other people's opinions stop you. Your sex life is none of their business. You should do what makes you happiest, because it's healthier to follow your heart than to follow the crowd.
Don't worry about the way that others perceive you, because they don't know what they're talking about. If they call you a name, then just ignore them, because you're too mature to deal with their childishness. Do you do any of these "slutty" things that are actually healthy?
Comments
Karen: Sex is good when you do it in a healthy fashion not when you are sleeping around. The fact is, opposite to what this article tries to preach, we live in a sex addicted world that expects you to put out. So you are being different when you do what is right. Have self respect and don't give out the goods until you find someone who wants you for more than the goodies. If you don't want to be taken seriously follow this article. There is nothing slutty about shorts etc but you have to be wise about when to show skin and how. If you are a professional, cleavage at work can get you in trouble. I agree the article is a bit off and almost makes me want to unfollow the category...
Brownsugar7: #6 is all good until one of those platonic guy friends becomes attached, and begins to hate on your other male relationships, lol.
sharon: Well done Holly. I didn't bother going through the rest of the article when I read that you said there's nothing with sleeping around. I thought I bet this article is written by Holly and yes I was right. You carry on sleeping around but dishing out stupid and useless advice like that is stupid. Obviously you don't have much respect for yourself
Brownsugar7: @Taylor lol, neither have I
Karen: And regardless to you wanting to do it. Just because you want something doesn't mean it is good for you or that you should do it. And I don't think this is the case just for women I think the same applies to men.
Brownsugar7: @Sev this is true.
Scarlett: Interesting. I'd like to add that science has proven sex (especially orgasm) is actally good for your health in many ways. For example, menopausal women can prevent vaginal atrophy (use it or lose it) by having the Big O regularly. Would love to see an article about this. There wouldnt even need to be any pesky values judgements in the title. ;)
Kimberly: Hate this. We don't need a man to feel empowered. This article is all about sex.
Macy: This article is for boy-crazy girls.
Onlylisalee: How are these things healthy?
