Slutty Types

Slutty Types are types which:

  • give you access to their privates without too many difficulties
  • don't really care about your intentions, or if they do, aren't very clear on that
  • occasionally seem like a good short-term fix
  • can be used in a variety of ways, with different outcomes and none of them are guaranteed
  • can not to be trusted
  • really need to be tested
  • will burn you sooner or later if you're not careful
  • become even more of a mess during the aging process

Feel free to add to the list :)
