Whore is not derogatory, it just means "someone that has sex for money". A performer is someone who has sex for money. I even call my close friends "whore" , like "what are you doing whore", it's like a friendly thing. Like saying "what's up bitch".

I don't find it derogatory. I call men whores too.

Everyone can be a whore.

People who would find it derogatory are too sensitive. I'm not content and I wouldn't be offended if someone called me whore. It would not be accurate though because I don't have sex for money. Actually I barely have sex at all.

I don't see what's so offensive about it.

this comment is where i feel there's a fine line. similar to how i'm what most people would consider a white girl, but i live and grew up in the blackest part of east side oakland - and here it's okay for my black friends and neighbors to says "wassup niggah" and i can even say it back, but i wouldn't dare go to a heavily black neighborhood in a different state i'd never been to and go around calling the black people n*ggers. fuck, i can't even type it out HERE and this is GFY!

i think within a circle of friends who you know and who know you you have a level of comfort and you know what can be said without being taken offensively. but you can't deny the fact that there are a LOT of people who take the 'n' word seriously, derogatorily, and wouldn't like being referred to that way.

using derogatory slang terminology, even when in jest, is still derogatory. i feel like there are certain connotations to the term "whore" that imply things like -

shame
filth
compromised morals
stupidity

when, in current times, having sex for money is happening more and more and becoming more mainstream and publically discussed and viewed. people having sex for money in adult are being AIM tested all the time, often not ashamed of what they're doing, don't think they're compromising themselves in any way by doing so, and are intelligent.

i'm not saying everyone, i'm just saying using the term "whore" to refer to every woman who has performed on camera or is willing to within the industry is still offensive to me, as a woman, and a model.
