Is It OK to Call a Whore a "Whore"? - GoFuckYourself.com

billywatson · 09-25-2007, 11:23 PM

I just posted a topic on Genesis' magazine's top 100 Porn Stars, and I referred to them as Porn "Whores" instead of Porn Stars.

Someone called this disrespect.

I'm around these girls a whole lot of the time and they refer to themselves as whores.

And sluts.

Here's what dictionary.com says:

whore (hôr, hōr) Pronunciation Key
n.

1. A prostitute.
2. A person considered sexually promiscuous.
3. A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain.

intr.v. whored, whor·ing, whores

1. To associate or have sexual relations with prostitutes or a prostitute.
2. To accept payment in exchange for sexual relations.
3. To compromise one's principles for personal gain.

Not once does it mention the term as being derogatory.

The same goes for slut, kinda:

Dictionary.com says

"slut /slʌt/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[sluht] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
?noun
1. a dirty, slovenly woman.
2. an immoral or dissolute woman; prostitute."

whereas American Heritage says

"slut (slŭt) Pronunciation Key
n.

1.
1. A person, especially a woman, considered sexually promiscuous.
2. A woman prostitute.
2. A slovenly woman; a slattern."

I dunno. It's late, and I'm tired, and I just drove home from LA, where I just got done working with lotsa whores and sluts, and I love and respect almost all of them.

There are times to be politically correct. This isn't one of em.

CyberHustler · 09-25-2007, 11:28 PM

I wasn't expecting all of that... You kinda ruined my answer, which is Yes.

psili · 09-25-2007, 11:41 PM

First, I'll never forget the Pleasurepays post (sorry if my memory ruined it).:

Sure, some like to get fucked with huge cocks up their asses, fish-hooked and spit on. Good for them.

For all the rest of the dead-eyed beauties doing it to get by, well, they should have found a shrink or taken accounting classes or some shit.

all whores.... dirty fucking skanky whores who are worth nothing but a good fuck and maybe a blowjob if they don't suck at life...

I reckon you could call your dad a "motherfucker," too...

who · 09-26-2007, 02:44 AM

No, it's not ok.

da man · 09-26-2007, 05:16 AM

its okay, just not polite :-)) you choose.

AGS-17 · 09-26-2007, 05:18 AM

And how them to name?

Lifer · 09-26-2007, 05:39 AM

No, a porn start is not a whore.

A prostitute is a whore.

There is a difference.

Lance69 · 09-26-2007, 09:38 AM

Has no one here "Compromised their principles for personal gain?" Yeah right, 99.99% of the people here have.

The only thing wrong with it is from the intent that it is used IMO.

_Richard_ · 09-26-2007, 09:41 AM

well.. an asshole could be loosely defined as someone who says and does things without consideration of the surrounding peoples feelings

just because it's true, doesn't necessarily mean that it should be said

DaddyHalbucks · 09-26-2007, 09:46 AM

It may be accurate, but it's not very kind. It is degrading.

RawAlex · 09-26-2007, 09:49 AM

She isn't a whore. She is a contractual itinerant sex worker.

dissipate · 09-26-2007, 09:55 AM

G-Rotica · 09-26-2007, 10:01 AM

I wouldn't call them whores, or content. Talent maybe. But whatever you call them, they are still people, with feelings.

DoctorSticky · 09-26-2007, 10:04 AM

If it talks like a whore and fucks like a whore......

stev0 · 09-26-2007, 10:14 AM

Adult Site Traffic · 09-26-2007, 10:20 AM

I have run successful websites for almost 10 years with almost every type of content you could image.

I can't recall ever having any "bitches, sluts or whores" on any of my sites.

I do have some people's wives, daughters and mothers though .. ;)

JMHO.

tranza · 09-26-2007, 10:27 AM

Somehow I bet he might be...but I doubt you would do it.

To answer the question -- calling porn sluts 'whores' is one of those politically correct things like calling black folks 'african americans' or whatever. Or is is like the n-word where it's okay if rappers say it but other people can't. I forget.

What about black porn whores? Can we use the n-word there? Shit. This is a minefield.

whore=woman paid to have sex.

To me both prostitutes and porn stars gets paid to have sex, only difference is that the porn star has a camera crew around her when it happens.

DirtyDanza · 09-26-2007, 11:28 AM

hahaha disrespect ahahaha tell em you meant it with love....

Well, technically you can call them that. And hell if you call them sluts or whores, they must know the rules of their trade.

The girls often refer to themselves as "whores".

CarlosTheGaucho · 09-26-2007, 01:27 PM

NEVER call any woman a whore, prostitutes are even more allergic on this..

Never do that unless you are explicitelly asked for that (some like it kinky, but then again - most likely it won't be professionals..)

I am afraid I have way more experience with the "working girls" mentality then I ever wanted..

tony286 · 09-26-2007, 01:39 PM

Why say it ? Without those girls most of you would be working at radio shack or starbucks.Is it resentment because without models you have no business so you need them? Ive been in adult for over 20 yrs from strip clubs to dungeons to jackshacks to the web and Ive never once heard a girl call herself a whore. Do you feel so little about yourself you have to put others down to make yourself feel good?

sniperwolf · 09-26-2007, 01:47 PM

yeah but sometimes you still need to choose the right word...

Ravage · 09-26-2007, 01:58 PM

Exactly!

Moreover, usually those knowing porn only from the behind the PC perspective who have NOWHERE real experience with models, working girls and most likely ANY females in general use to shout like this..

mikesinner · 09-27-2007, 09:26 PM

I don't see how a pornstar can think of herself as not being a whore unless she is signed to somebody like Vivid and doesn't have to do 10 scenes a week. But at the same time I don't think it's right to call them that in public or in a publication they might read. They deserve to be treated like human beings. And when you think of it male pornstars could be called whores and so could any porn addicted pervert because he is dreaming of doing the same thing.

Avery · 09-27-2007, 10:17 PM

You can call them whatever you want.No one care about that.

That's were you are wrong. Although there are some peeps on this board that might be doing that, any of the ones that are making big bucks would be doing design work, programming or working in mainstream. It does take some education to make serious cash in adult

Never been on a porn set, have you?

The point of my starting this thread is it's *not* a put-down at all.

No matter what the strippers, or the girls in dungeons or jackshacks want to call themselves!

The only difference is so called "porn stars" get paid a lot more and get filmed doing it.

All the same its not polite to call anyone a whore.

Ross · 09-28-2007, 04:21 AM

The term Porn Star is thrown around to easily these days. Some slut who gets paid to bein a movie is not a porn star.

Models who make big bucks doing this and run their own shit are porn stars. Jenna Jameson is a porn star so is Aria Giovanni. People like that, not these stupid bitches who appear on the next new paysite. They're just content.

yahoo-xxx-girls.com · 09-28-2007, 04:23 AM

Tempest is a whore I think... that is ok to say... right?
