Recently in a dialogue with another poster here, I came realize that the differences between varieties of women isn't obvious to all. Perhaps that explains the age-old question, "What do women want?" The answer, of course, is that it depends on the kind of woman you're talking about! There are whores, sluts and nuns. Let's start with sluts ...

Sluts are spontaneous. Generally they are good-hearted, fun-loving and sexually generous. They don't put a high value on sex, thus they see no problem with "giving it away." Sluts are easy to bed and are generally enthusiastic partners. Because they're so spontaneous, sluts are sometimes given to infidelity. They can "get carried away in the moment"! Also, their hedonism and lack of self-discipline can lead them to overindulge in other things, like food, alcohol, etc.

Sluts generally remember past partners fondly. They minimize the pain of past breakups, referring them as "summer flings" or such. Often they remain in friendly contact with old lovers, sometimes for decades, and are liable to fall back into bed with them from time to time. (This can complicate current relationships.)

Most sluts settle down eventually and can make good wives if they come to see the value of fidelity and exercising some restraint. Others are serial monogamists who flit from one man to the next, "falling in love" over and over. Sometimes sluts age badly, picking increasingly inappropriate partners and generally making a hash of their lives due to poor impulse control across-the-board.

As parents, sluts are generally well-meaning, but their chaotic romantic lives can be hard on their kids. Sluts can be dickmatized to the point of allowing unsuitable men (abusive, alcoholic, or worse) around their kids. Being sex-positive, sluts want their teens to experience the same joys of budding sexuality that they did, which sometimes makes their kids uncomfortable. (TMI, Mom!!) Children of sluts sometimes are more sexually conservative than their mothers, which is of course puzzling to the mother, although she may be secretly glad to not have to worry about unintended pregnancies and the like.

Next up: Whores! These are not just actual prostitutes, of course, but all women who view sex as currency, as something to be traded. Whores understand their value as sex partners and are determined to capitalize upon it. They don't "give it away" -- they get full value for their favors. Whores are selective, not spontaneous. This doesn't mean they're bad in bed, but when they're good, it's likely to be deliberate and performative. Whores may actually enjoy sex, but they see their own pleasure as beside the point. Sex is a means to an end.

Whores generally have a great deal of sexual self-control and this extends to other areas of life as well. The woman whose fitness and fashion are on-point likely falls into this category. She understands the nature of her value and is careful to maintain it. Whores age well. They are not prone to straying impulsively. If a whore cheats, it will generally be a well-planned-out branch-swing to a more prestigious partner.

Whores often remember past partners with disappointment, even bitterness. There is usually a sense that a man deceived them or didn't live up to his hype. They feel cheated. They "gave it away" and didn't get full value in return.

As parents, whores teach their daughters to follow in their footsteps. Their girls know their worth and are encouraged to "hold out" and "not sell themselves short." With sons, things are a bit more complicated. Whores see men as things to be exploited, and sons are no exception, unfortunately. Whores may emotionally seduce their sons and keep them wrapped around their little fingers, doing their bidding well into adulthood.

Finally we come to our last category, Nuns! Oftentimes nuns are not literally celibate; they're just women who don't have much interest in sex. Their reaction to it is generally, "Is that all there is?" Sometimes nuns were raised in a sexually repressive environment, like a fundamentalist religion; perhaps they were caught masturbating or in childish sex play and were harshly punished. Sometimes they are simply inexperienced, like the young woman who starts out with an equally innocent partner who doesn't know how to please her and/or is unconcerned with doing so. As a result, she doesn't see what's so great about sex or what the fuss is all about!

Nuns frequently marry young, have children early and identify primarily as Moms. They don't develop much of a sexual identity; they don't have time to. They embrace motherhood eagerly, finding it much more fulfilling than being a wife and lover. Nuns make very good moms, although sometimes they have a tendency to get over-invested in their kids and to "helicopter parent," and be overly involved in their adult kids' lives.

Nuns tend to have low N-counts and remember past partners, if any, as "puppy love." Occasionally in later life, a nun is sexually awakened -- for instance, by having an affair (however unlikely) with a skilled partner who pleasures her for the first time. Sometimes nuns transform into sluts and run their lives off the rails by pursuing their affair partner, as unsuitable as he may be otherwise. Most of the time, though, nuns age into asexual Karen types.
