A man of my acquaintance, he of a certain age, waxes nostalgic about the sexual style of his youth. In his carefree bachelor days nothing ignited his imagination like the "allure of the slut." Loose women have always tempted men. Think Ava Gardner in "The Sun Also Rises" or Lee Remick in "Anatomy of Murder."

Is that Sin-dee Shee-han?
Did this article appear during a Google search? If so, what keyword were you using?
That is just wrong!
IBTZ!
I almost hit the "abuse" button for the bust you posted! Cruel!!
Why, it's an article in the Washington Times?
...that wretched photo Zotted us!!
No abuse intended. I just thought the fact they made a bust of Hillary for the Museum of Sex fit in with this article. I apologize if I offended anyone.
Tom Wolfe: "There was a time when the worst ... slut ... for want of a better term ... maintained a virginal and chaste facade. Today, the most virginal and chaste undergraduate wants to create a facade of sexual experience."
Who is this guy?
Is there a big shortage of mirrors or what?
My biggest store gripe, especially at WalMart, concerns the huge obese women who commandeer the electric ride-on shopping carts provided for handicapped and people with medical conditions like hear disease.
Pretty easy to see how these big blobs got to be that way.
Does Carville get his ears trimmed by the people who do dobermans' ears like that?

Oh dear, get ready for the pictures! I once read that baby fat "muffin topping" over the waistband of jeans is now a desirous look for a lot of young women.
............aaarrrrgggghhhhhh.....! I thought we wore our typing fingers to the bone yesterday exchanging our respective views and opinions over this bust of Hitlery Clinton story.....and like the terminator, she's BAAACCCKKKKKK......!! I just had lunch; now it is all over my desk.......thanks heaps......!! (and, BTW, she is still as ugly today as she was yesterday....!)...
Well, no doubt your Adonis-like physique is more appealing, I'm sure.
Oh yeah? Well we get a lot of overweight, middle-aged, thong-wearing, Brazilian women at our town beach on weekends. Take that.
To be fair, there's nothing like the skinny, chain-smoking, Speedo-wearing French Canadians with little beer bellies who show up on Maine beaches in the summer.
OK, I'm going to go scrub my brain now.
No offense or disrespect was intended.
However, when you post an article with the word "slut" in the title, you need to expect a truckload of Paris Hilton pictures :-)
That has been true for a long time. I remember my sister and friends making fun of virgins when, truth be told, several of them were still virgins. It's sad. Shame, stigma, taboo, peer pressure, etc...are part of how a group functions. So liberals who say we should "remove the stigma" are not removing a stigma, just moving it. The stigma is now on chastity, at least to a large degree in the younger set. Same principle applies to all the other areas liberals have "removed" stigmas. You cannot remove them. You only move them.
The nerve..!!
They call that Muffin Top.
As we used to say in my youth, "The aura of availability". As Willie Moretti said about Virginia Hill, when asked why he pursued a relationship with her, "She looked like she'd be easy to know".
Actually any physique that doesn't amount to a pile of shapeless cholesterol is better than what I've been seeing.
Don't need to be an "Adonis", but normal is cool with me.
I'm in my sixties and look it, but at least I don't have flab hanging all over the place and I don't have so many chins that I need a bookmark to find my face.
I remember the stories about Ogunquit. Has that changed?
And, at some schools there is a 'Muffin Code'....blueberry, raspberry, banana, plastic wrap....have various meanings.....hahaha!
My sister tells me that it's not as gay as it used to be, but I don't trust her 8-)
"...an overweight woman with bare flesh around her middle sticking out like a half-opened can of Pillsbury biscuits."
You win the "Best Mental Picture of the Day" award!!
LOL -- you are definitely on a roll!!
(Wondered the same thing myself!)
they should just put all the tight little clothes in a serperate room with a skinny little doorway and if your fat ass can't fit through the door you can't buy those clothes...
My point is that there is a huge difference between some "muffin top" teenager and a grossly obese person.
Obesity is a problem. 10 or 15 pounds heavier than rail thin is not a problem.
You appear to be unwilling to accept that others look however they look. It is the girl's choice to display her bulges. Who cares?
If you're over 60, as I am, you've seen just about every variety of the human form. Get over yourself, OK?
that's quite a nicely trimmed clay mustache.
It ain't easy being easy.

I distinctly said "overwieght" to be diplomatic....kept me from saying fat as hell, but I see it gave you a loop-hole so you could jump on my case about it.
I'm talking about the extreme cases that never used to dress like that in public, and I never mentioned teenagers at all. Makes me wonder if you were going for extra point with the teenager comment. Teenagers have been dressing in strange garb since the beginning of time.
Wow! That post was beyond ignorant.
There are plenty of medical conditions which cause people to gain inordinate (and unhealthy) amounts of weight. Hypothyroidism, Cushing's Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome just to name a few.
You've managed to cast aspersions on people whose medical condition you don't know and are, apparently, too shallow to give a damn about, because they don't look the same as you.
Having off-duty bar bouncers on hand to prevent people from buying inappropriate clothes might be another option :-)
Perhaps a Terry Tate in the Gap?
Here's another one. I was in where else - Wal-Mart - and I saw a woman of, shall we say "ample gravity", that was adorned in a pair of spandex knee length pants and a baggy t-shirt that was big around, but barely made her hips in length. I am 15 feet or so behind her. She stops, bends over and gets an item off the bottom shelf. Her shirt bags down - I could see her face - from between her legs and between her bare breasts. It was embarrassed, humored and repulsed all in one moment.
"It ain't easy being easy."
MoDo's still wrestling with the implications, well into her dotage.

In my opinion it is about as desirous a look as forty nine earrings, noserings, eyebrow ornaments, tattoos etc. in other words a total turnoff.
But they don't have to stick it in my face.
Also, I never said I hated them or even disliked them. Nausea is something over which I have very little control.
Medical conditions may account for a few, but the rest of them became fat the old fashioned way.
....wearing shower shoes that allow the toes to splay over the edges set off by a large tattoo of a barbed wire fence around the ankle and a dragon tattoo on the shoulder.
I did a search for women within 50 miles of me that had athletic, average, or slender bodies with pictures and guess what? I got no one at all in this area. I am afraid that Nomarriage.com has a point.
This was really an excellent article. I also read the article about Wholesomewear, a company that makes extremely modest bathing suits for women.
The sneering tone of the Washington Post fashion writer was beyond belief. Why she would spend time mocking women who didn't want to show skin instead of spending some time chiding the immodest is unclear.
There is something very powerful about revealing yourself only to your partner and not to anyone else. It's an indication of how much you value yourself. I'm worth enough to protect myself from the casual speculations and assessments of complete strangers.
It's very possible to dress both attractively and modestly. It's just really tough to shop for.
