First of all a woman never gives up her right to say no, no matter
what the situation (including marriage).

But, a woman should remember that the more she "leads" someone on
the more difficult it may be to say no.  I don't think this is the
best situation, but it is reality.  I can remember saying to my
date "If we continue this we will end up in bed, if you're not comfortable
with that we should stop now." (or words to that affect).  I think this
puts part 3 (below) in perspective.  In other words I don't think a
woman has the right to please herself with no regard for the man, but then
no one has that right over someone else and I wasn't suggesting that
woman might (or think they should). 

below is the original posting:

	1) flirting, moving sexily, leaning close, making
		lewd, sexual comments.

	2) wearing excessively provacative clothing -- whore
		like clothes, with most of the breasts and/or
		legs showing (or whatever), or with somewhat 
		transparent material.

	3) participating in kissing, heavy petting, fondling with
		the man.

	How many people think that if a woman's a slut that means
	anyone can sleep with her?

	How many people think that if a woman's a slut that means
	she sleeps with anyone she wants (anyone being too many
	by her society's definition).



What's a slut????   In answer to my question; it seems that this is a
label that is put on someone by someone else.  I have trouble with
the concept of too many sexual partners except where it may apply to the        concerned persons health (enough partners raises chance of VD) or pleasure      (generally, making love is better than getting laid, and I think there is       a finite numbe
 of "making love" partners at any time).

After rereading this I guess I do think a person can be *too* promiscuous
(notice use of asexual 'person').  I would probably know this type of
info only when the person in question is someone I care about (or is extremely
indiscrete) so I'm not likely to use the word slut (is stud the male equivalent,or is there one?).

This is probably long enough,
