ETHICAL

Interlude: The Unethical Slut (A Rant)
untrustworthy hidden agenda, then no one will have the information
they need to protect themselves. There is no shame in having believed
someone's lies, and most of us at some time or other have given our
trust to someone who turned out not to be worthy of it. It is possible
to fool an honest person, but we hope you have enough humility to
learn from your mistakes and not get fooled twice.
All these difficult scripts are about somebody not being honest
and are also about somebody having sex while avoiding intimacy and
emotional connection. When you are not telling the truth you cannot
be present, and when you are not present you can't be connected to
anyone else, and when you are not connected how can you feel anything
at all?
By treating lovers as people, and letting relationships take the
shapes they want instead of the forms forced on them by the culture
around them, ethical sluts can form friendships that last as sex waxes
and wanes.
