Me too.
Actually, according to that definition (randomly googled), I'm having a difficult time figuring out if I know anyone who DOESN'T qualify.

Tristesse:
"That's what you think. I'm here for lessons."
I am a novice myself but I'd be happy to try and explain anything you have questions about.
Calamity Jane,
That's not the only sentence in the good but it's a good starting place. The author's take it a bit further by exploring the ethics of sluthood.

Well, not having read the book, and having a VERY short attention span this evening, that was the best I could come up with.
How about a short synopsis on how the average person can practice ethical sluthood. What're the rules of the road, so to speak?

I'm only as slutty as my husband wants me to be.
I've got ethics.
He's the one with the problems!

Sure. Here are some good guidelines:
Do arrange your own transportation without depriving your partner of the car
Don't get your lover's pubic hair in the abalone
Don’t fuck loudly and enthusiastically within your lover's hearing.
Don't wander off with your lover, leaving your partner to make conversation with your lover's spouse.
Do refrain from fucking the guests until your lover is finished cooking and serving dinner.
Don't expect your partner to be intensely horny for you right after having sex with someone else.

Greetings, I was just about to compliment you on your lamp.
There were two things about the concept that appealed to me intensely. The first was the emphasis on non-possessiveness. I send to be attracted to strong-minded and independent women. It's always seemed unfortunate that traditional relationships encourage women to lose parts of themselves in the relationship itself. It's sort of like the person who loves birds because they're so free so they take one home and keep it on their shelf.
I also liked the rejection of the idea that one person can be your everything. I don't think that possible and even if it were, I doubt I have the energy to do that. The bond you create with another doesn't have to be all encompassing for it to be unique, wonderful, and special.

Ethical sluts are great... until they decide to sleep with someone else.
Then they're just sluts. Drrty whoring sluts!
Unless it's me doing the slutting.
Then it's ethical. Respectable. Responsible. Hip. Mature.

So, basically, except for the fact that you're a woman, and I'm terminally straight, we're perfect for each other.
Good to know.

My lamp?
I'm preparing to re-read my copy. I want to be able to participate fully in this thread, and I'm fuzzy on some details.

Calamity Jane,
The cosmos created humanity so it could have a good laugh now and then. That said, if I find any men that are like me then I will gladly pass him on to you.
superlittlegirl,
The last picture you posted on your thread had you laying on a bed with black stockings on. Behind you was a vaguely oriental (wooden?) lamp I thought was quite nice.
The majority of my threads sink rapidly. With the search function the way that it is you'd better be a quick reader.

Aha! That lamp. Thank you! I like it too. It puts out a nice, soft light that does not offend my eyes.
I am a quick reader. In fact, I'm taking my copy of The Ethical Slut to read during my dinner in a few minutes. I bet it'll go great with matzoh ball soup and salad.

Oddly, I'm not an ethical slut.
I'm definitely interested in reading this book and while I keep meaning to pick it up, I always forget while at the store. I've read several commentaries on it and have seen SLG comment about the book several times, but I can't find it in me to feel the lifestyle this book enforces. Granted, that's coming from someone who hasn't read it; perhaps I'll feel differently after I read it.
I do agree that you can't be everything to one person and vice versa. However, this doesn't compel me to surround myself with a few people who could be everything I've ever wanted.

This is a nicely stated synopsis of an argument I've had with nearly every partner I've ever had. I just don't understand the need so many people seem to have to own their partner's genitals. Friction of skin on skin has never struck me as a threat to a relationship, unless you have that wierd possessiveness thing going on. I always thought that a strong friendship posed more of a threat than a casual sexual experience.

The neat thing is that this book enforces no specific lifestyle. It gives you guidelines for a "choose your own adventure" approach to sexuality. Even someone who is celibate can be an Ethical Slut.

I'm lucky enough to have a wife who agrees with that.
I suspect that most people are afraid that the intimacy of sex will lead to much deeper relationships, at the expense of the primary one. And it can, in a lot of cases. It's all about the trust, and maintaining the trust is the ethical part of slutdom.
