Hey, Shayna gets a Prom King.

I think whomever wins the Temptress title should have a date to get jiggy with, eh?

I'd vote for Satan. Don't know much about him, but I've seen the recent pictures. Looks morally bankrupt (hence the name?)

I don't know about the title "Male Slut", as I really shudder to think what my dear mother would say..

Besides, I could give a rat's ass about the title (either, this one or prom king)--I just want the..uh..physical companionship

You'd offered blow jobs in a previous thread for votes. Well, for the right lady, I suppose I'd reciprocate, because:

"That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man,
If with his tongue he cannot win a woman."
--The Two Gentleman of Verona, Act 3, Scene i

I suspect that if we opened the voting up only to the male population on this board, it would be a tie with everyone receiving 1 vote (their own).

I'd vote for myself because I have a slutty Porn Star name... but, since it's a woman's name (Tara Chalmers) I'll have to disqualify myself.

Dammit! Tara Chalmers... you know she'd be the high school cheerleader doing the entire football team...

(Why couldn't my Porn Star name be "Buck Naked", or "Rock Hard"?)

Well damnit.

I thought I was pretty freaking awful, but I could only manage to get down to 34% on the Olde Purity Test. Must be my decided hererosxuality getting in the way.

I vote for DanielInTheWolvesDen, since 1. He scored lower than I did and 2. Slythe is ineligible.

Have a nice day.

You know I love each and every one of you gentlemen, but as far as Ho's go here at SD, hands down, no one beats Democritus. Sorry boys. The day y'all can, and do, openly flirt outrageously with both the women and the men on the boards, then you might be able to shine Demos shoes in the slut department.

An open letter to Mega the Roo and all these guys who think their "all that". What the hell, an open letter to everyone:

Please note that I never said I was "all that" (just that I'd do the deed). Because, unlike these OTHER jokers, I know that:

"All lovers swear more performance than they
are able and yet reserve an ability that they never
perform, vowing more than the perfection of ten and
discharging less than the tenth part of one. They
that have the voice of lions and the act of hares,
are they not monsters?"
--Troilus and Cressida, Act 3, scene ii

Ladies, some of these men are married or have girlfriends (I don't, BTW). I fear you'll come to grief:

"Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never"
--Much Ado About Nothing, Act 2, scene iii

Please, please be careful, Ladies..and choose wisely. Don't listen to these guys boast about how good they are, or else you'll end up saying:

"Take, O, take those lips away,
That so sweetly were forsworn"
--Measure for Measure, Act 4, scene i

You guys ain't seen nothin' yet. I nominate pLt. Admittedly he's been a tad quiet on the SDMB so far (give him time) but he HAS to be the biggest online slut the world has ever seen.

He can't help himself. He even has a superhero persona: SlutBoy (you don't wanna know about the superpowers). And worst of all: he's proud of it.

If he took the test the server would crash in disbelief...

slut

slut [slut ] (plural sluts) noun

1. an offensive term for a woman thought by others to be sexually promiscuous (slang)

2. an offensive term for a woman who is regarded as not concerned about conventional standards of domestic cleanliness (dated)


I take it that ether definition applies? Male Slut, according to the definition (part 2) has to go to my former college roommate, who cared absolutely nothing for standards of domestic cleanliness, he was an f***ing slut!

As for me, definition number 1 applies, I am sexually promiscuous - I permit my wife to do what she wants, often. The marks are still fresh...

I'd say that the honor probably should go to ChiefScott, just judging by what I've seen of him in his posts... Whattaya know, a male not nominating himself! I just wish I were one!

And DRY, it takes more than just Shakespeare quotes to win women... Try throwing in some Cervantes, or Ovid, or Tolkien.

Hey, Chronos-

Shakespeare did pretty blinkin' fine with those words, and IMHO, DRY isn't doing too bad either.

Scotti




Admittedly biased, she turns up her nose at Chronons and bows to DRY (ya gotta admit, that is pretty hard to do at the same time)for being literate. Literate ROCKS! And he's sweet, which rocks too. (Except for the "all he wants is sex" thing. I choose to believe he is just blowing smoke there. I am probably wrong, but I am in denial. It is a comfortable place to be.)

So there.

I am the Male Slut.

I lost my virginity in January 1998. Since then - a total of 30 months - I have slept with an estimated 50 separate men, at least. That is an average of a different man every 19 days. That's the number of men, not the number of individual sexual encounters. And this doesn't even reflect the four relationships I had during that time.

I am a slut. And a slut is nothing else than someone who is getting more sex than whoever's doing the classifying.

Translation for prudes: Nanny-nanny-nanny-nanny-nanny!!

And I am always safe.

Damn, matt, and you still had time to post over 1000 times?
So THAT explains the poor typing in some of the posts.
But, in my glory days in Hollywood (pre aids), I slept with about 2 new women (models, actress wanna-bes, and just plain bimbos)per WEEK. (I ran a modeling studio, they thought I could get them a "start", and I did get a few of them their "ins")

However, it's not just the quantity, it's the skill & the aptitude; you show promise, true, but with only 2 years, not over 25, of experiance, you just don't got it. But, I will admit, you sure win the "best rookie" award.

By the way, where can one find this Teeming Millions Purity Test?

Oh, and Schotticher, (um, let's see here... Digging through Shakepear memory banks... Prospero's farewell speech won't work... Antony's eulogy of Caesar? nope... the "to be or not to be" soliloquy's done to death... Hmm, maybe I can take something out of context from the witches chant in the Scottish play.)
Double, double, toil and-- Oh, shoot, it still doesn't sound romantic.
I guess I'll just have to think of my own ways to compliment a bonnie redheaded Scottish lass with a sexy accent on my own, without help from someone who'se been dead these past centuries.

Oh, shoot, honey. Do I have to go over this accent thang again? I don't want to be dishonest. And I really DID try to reclaim my Gram's brougue. It didn't work last week, and I am sure it won't work now. But thanks for the thought, and you are on my short list for favorite men who try real hard and are awfully cute. You ARE awfully cute, aren't you? Heavens, I just realized we are all taking a whole lot of stuff on faith, here!

I look forward to your attempts to outshine the Bard, my friend. Tolkien ain't swiss cheese, either. But, isn't he dead too? Also Cervantes and Ovid?

Oh well, at least you dropped the attempt to quote the witches speech. I might have been tempted to come out of denial and take you for a walk in the pit.

And it is not pretty there. (She Shudders and needs a gorgeous man's arm to hang onto. Preferably with the man still attached)

Nitpick

The Two Towers, not The Hobbit.

The taming of Smeagol, when Frodo and Sam try to bind Gollum with the rope from Lothlorien.

The only distress Gollum experienced in The Hobbit had to do with his anguish at losing the ring.

OK, DRY, I admit that I'm hopelessly outclassed in the literature department... How do you find all of those references to the Bard? But as the lady said herself, she thinks I'm probably cute-- Unfortunately, Villanova seems to have finally deactivated my web account, so I can't link to a pic... I'll let everyone here know when I have my new page up.

Really? I guess my question, then, is how closely, the TV movie of The Hobbit followed the book, because I haven't read either The Hobbit or The Two Towers, and I believe I got "It hurts, my precious" from the movie (From Gollum's anguish at losing the ring, like you said)

The next time you're in a bar, try telling her:

"Some are born great,
Some achieve greatness,
and some have greatness thrust upon 'em."
--Twelfth Night, Act 2, Scene V

(OK, so maybe that isn't such a brilliant idea--unless she's really drunk and then you don't need a line)

As to how I find all these references, it isn't easy: I've gone through Bartlett's quotations and used my own familiarity with the plays. Probably more trouble than it's worth, unless I can get someone to publish my "Shakespeare, hitting on women, and deviant sexual practices" (as referenced in the IMHO Prom Queen and Temptress threads)

Scotti's quite a catch, and I'm sure she's waiting for your pic. Then again, I'm waiting for HERS.
