Lioness, that's a prostitute.

It can mean a promicious person that just sexually active or a prosititute. It has more than one meaning!

they don't have to take money for sex to be a whore. Get your facts straight!

I don't want to sleep around, dumbass.

Sorry, lioness about that.

lol this is funny as hell!

Yea, they have the right to be whores but that's not what i'm asking. I'm talking about fairness here. A whore is a whore regardless of gender.

Answer 1

Yes, if you sleep around you should be considered promiscuous. If it is wrong for a woman , it is wrong for a man. This is a double standard that does not make sense. Many think it is religious in nature but all religions that are opposed to extra martial sex are opposed to it for both men and women.This is one double standard that needs to be erased.

Answer 2

This is jus a theory but women change as they become more sexually active both emotionally nad physically and it seems a bigger deal and perhapsinthe past whore meant somethig else rather than what it i portraye as today. Also, there are whores who are men, but it is less common, and I heard someone quoting from the bible and it said that woman was made to serve men, and therefore, me thought they needed sexual satisfaction which may be another reason women are considered whores, because in B.C times, women were only there toserve men as men thought they needed to be served, also many women are loyal to God and married to the church and they don't have sex, becasue adultery is against the Biblical laws, henceforth are a coupe of reason women may be considered whores whereas men are not.

Answer 3

I belive that this idea originated a long time ago- when the population needed to grow quickly, therefore it was welcoming for men to sleep around and impregnate as many women as possible, but as for women, well once your pregnant, you can't get pregnant again for another 9 months or so.
But yes, in this day in age where the world isoverpopulated- they are either A- both whores or B- bothfree to do what they like without being judged.

Answer 4

Because their's the double statandard that supports and encourages man to be promiscues and whores. But for woman, society trys to repress them from having multiple partners. Personalty I don't judge woman like that. Even me, that I'm a man feels kind of like that sometimes. Because I'm an affeminate gay boy. Sometimes I wonder. Did they used me? Or did I used them?

Answer 5

Both I suppose are whores, but men, it seems, do it in a more confident way. When a woman sleeps around, it at least SEEMS to stem from low self-esteem. When a man does so, it appears to be a testament to his power. Consequently, a man is given a name of power when he sleeps around and is called a "pimp" or a "player". On the other hand, a woman is given a name of disgraces such as slut or whore. Nowadays, there ARE women that appear powerful and in control in their sexual exploits and get called players or pimptresses. But even those are called sluts sometimes. But it's mainly something ingrained in the subconsciousness of general culture from the beginning of man and woman. In other words: Tough titties! :)

Answer 6

Men have more power. It's always been like that since forever. I know that they're both whores, but you don't even hear someone say "man whore", do you? People should learn to respect women!!!

Answer 7

Ya I think generally speaking they both could be labelled whores

Answer 8

None of them are whores, unless they take cash for sex.

Prostitute and whore have the same meaning.

No reason to attack. I simply stated my opinion since you asked. We're all here to give you our answers...so statements such as "get your facts straight" are unnecessary.

Also, I think every man or woman ownes his/her own body, so they have the right to be prostitutes, sleep around for pleasure, or stay virgins- as it is absolutely nobody's business. It's a personal decision people make. And anyone who bases her/his decisions on what society thinks or what other people say or think...will end up unhappy and disappointed because there is always going to be someone who disapproves of what you do.

Answer 9

A woman has more invested in sex than a man does. Also, men tend to use the same women (whores) for sex.

Answer 10

I think women do not worry as much if their boyfriend cheats on them because a man cannot get pregnant from the other girl and then say that the baby is from his girlfriend.
