Not enough.

Slut just seemed like a good summary word.

I am all for the reclamation of the word, but I guess I would have said something like sexually adventures. Passionate, sensual or sexual are all in the right neighborhood too, although perhaps too vague.

Based on Gwink's scale, I'd say 90%. I don't know that I buy the use of the term "slut" though. I tend to reserve the concept of "slut" for things like Flinty's client development techniques or Coltrane's approach to a pastrami sandwich.

1 -- only has missionary sex in total darkness
2 -- has missionary sex sometimes with the lights on
3 -- sometimes does it doggie-style
4 -- does it doggie-style and gets on top
5 -- gives blowjobs but only after some convincing
6 -- gives blowjobs once in a while
7 -- gives three-hour blowjobs
8 -- gives three-hour blowjobs and does anal
9 -- all that plus likes to have sex at least 10x a day
10 --all that plus has a certain magical quality I will call charisma

Please feel free to add -- this is just off the top of my head.

There seems to be a big jump on that scale from 6 to 7. I think the upper reaches may need to be revised a bit for the general population.

Add me to the list of people who wouldn't like this to be called the "slut scale." I've not found a correlation between the willingness to experiment in bed and the willingness to jump in bed with whomever is available, in my (limited) experience. Dan Savage advocated the phrase "Good, Giving & Game" to describe an adventurous sex partner, and while I think that phrase is nearing its sell-by date, I prefer it to "slut" for these purposes.

The more important question that may be gained from raw data is whether the men on the board preferred to be in a relationship with high numbers and/or whether they had longer-term or more successful relationships with high numbers (or perhaps corresponding numbers). I remember dating a woman some years ago who seemed determined to bring back the repressed Catholic female stereotype from the dustheap of the 1950's. After a few dates, she memorably called me a "sex fiend," primarily because I wanted to have sex with her. Soon after that, I stopped calling her. I have to admit the repression thing wasn't all bad. She was never going to introduce me to any new sexual positions, but she did introduce me to some restaurants that were new to me.

As this is gwinky's list, and as it does not contain any mention of a threesome, despite the fact that several months ago gwinky mentioned wanting to engage in a FMF with her current beau/everlasting gobstopper, I have to chide her for a lack of focus in her lovelife. Some (many? all?) of us are counting on gwinky to hold up her end of the vicarious bargain.

She's hot, but I don't think so.

So here's the AskMen.com top 10:

1. Eva Mendes (Wasn't she coked up last year? Did that make her hotter to the voters?)
2. Megan Fox (consensus hot-babe-du-jour/Angelina Jolie (#42?!) wannabe)
3. Marisa Miller (board favorite; perhaps TM's #1?)
4. Keeley Hazell (pneumatic Brit)
5. Anne Hathaway (many of you will now stop reading the rest of the list)
6. Alessandra Ambrosio (Victoria's Secret model)
7. Scarlett Johansson
8. Rhianna
9. Kristen Bell (deserving of a top-10 finish)
10. Kate Beckinsale (So hot she makes Brian Posehn angry (NSFW).)

That Top Ten is fatally flawed because it doesn't contain either January Jones (#98?) or Christina Hendricks (#52) from Mad Men. You can prefer the icy, Hitchcockian blonde charms of January Jones as lavishly photographed in Vanity Fair to the period-accurate pulchritude of Christina Hendricks as a youtube video mashnote, but one of these women has to make the top 5 for the list to be culturally and sexually relevant.

For an off the top of my head top 10, I'd add Sarah Shahi (#85) from Life and The L Word, Cobie Smulders from How I Met Your Mother, and Kaley Cuoco from The Big Bang Theory. She plays a hottie living next door to a couple of physicist/nerds, so you'd think that would hit the AskMen.com demographic in the parent's basement where they live. Keep Megan, Scarlett, Kristen, and Kate and add #12 Emmanuelle Chriqui to my picks for a much-improved list.

There are plenty of pics of Sarah Shahi and Kaley Cuoco, but none of the ones I liked were easily linkable/hotlinkable. Google Search will have to do for you.

In my experience, I'd say _maybe_ 20% of the women would be rated above a 5-6 on that scale. Wish there were more.

You see, this is a different question from what I thought was being asked. I associate slutiness with an approach to sex as recreational activity rather than emotional commitment. This scale is more about favorite installments in the Kama Sutra.

Now, I've been faithfully monomogous since the 80s, so my response will be based on half-remembered and perhaps mythologized liaisons. But I think there is (was) a sweet spot in there around 6 or 7 where almost all the women I loved before fell. There may have been one or two over 8, but if so they went straight to 10 without stopping at 8 or 9. I believe I was friends with all the sluts and slept with the sweet ones, though.

i believe gwnc was using comedic license for the upper numbers.

okay, pre-marriage I was not with anyone for any length of time that didn't go to 6. there were probably short time things were a 5/6 was never completed, but they would at least have been started (e.g. leading up to something else).

Here is some data: my wife walks with about 8 other married women. they talk while walking. one woman brags about encouraging her husband to jerk in the shower to reduce her burden, and she is clear that even when she does let him have some of her likely very frigid love he must pull out.

the other seven are shocked by the woman's life, feeling badly not just for the guy, but also the woman. she is apparently unhappy.

given this response, I would guess they most of these women go to at least 4. given that they are heavily married Jewesses, I would hesitate to stick my neck out predictions re. steps 5/6.

Totally not worth the trade off.

Your suggestions are welcome!

I don't know how this scale helps at all. It's the old, "Want a lady in the streets, but a freak in the bed" saying, right? If she's fantastic in bed, that doesn't necessarily mean she's slutty. And if she sucks in bed (no pun intended but welcomed nevertheless), that doesn't mean she's not a huge slut.

I thought sluttiness had to do with number of partners and willingness to have anonymous sex.

But I will give you both answers (although, I don't know how you expect to get an answer based on GWNC's 10 point scale -- is anything above 5 slutty? Do you only approach sluttiness when you hit 8?).

Under my definition, I would say that a third of the women I've fucked have been pretty slutty. Under GWNC's (and I have to subsitute "long blowjob" for "3 hour blowjob" because I can count on one hand the number of three hour blowjobs I've had and none of them were from sluts), I would say that maybe 5% of the women I've fucked passed 8 on GWNC's scale.

Who knew a sex poll could make me depressed? Where are these GWNCy-type sluts hiding?

The word you are looking for is "freaky."

It's the GWNC Freak Scale (and it should be sliding, because that sounds much more freaky).

can't you count the number of three hour blow jobs on zero hands? I thought that was something paigow invented.
