I think most peoples definition of a "slut" or a "ho" is completely sexist and outdated. My opinion is that if a woman is single, uses protection, doesn't put herself at risk and doesn't lead guys on, she is completely free to express her sexuality in whatever manner she feels is appropriate - whether she prefers to sleep with just one man, have open relationships with more than one person (as long as everyone involved is aware of the situation) or sleep with a different guy every weekend.
My definition of a slut would be a girl who deliberately cheats with no extenuating circumstances, a girl who sleeps with men she doesn't find attractive out of insecurity, a girl who performs sexual acts she isn't comfortable with in order to satisfy someone other than herself, or a girl who excessively flirts and leads men on out of a need for attention. Basically any girl who lets her sexuality be used by men out of insecurity or attention seeking, or a girl who has sex for anything other than her own pleasure and desires.

And the second part doesn't describe a slut but a girl with mental issues.
People tend to only call a girl a slut when they don't like her. For example, if a girl cheats on her boyfriend everyone will call her a slut. If you call a girl a slut for just doing what she wants to do that's retarded.
So I suppose my definition of slut would be a girl who is in a relationship and sleeps with one or more other guys for the simple reason (No relationship problems) that she is just an inconsiderate bitch.
I don't agree with anything else you've said. The word, to me, is used out of anger or malice.
If a woman has fun sleeping with a few men, and she isn't harming anyone then leave her alone. If she regrets it later in life then leave her to it. It's no one elses business.
"Slut or slattern is a term applied to an individual who is considered to have loose sexual morals or who is sexually promiscuous."

OP's just truing to write a new definition to feel better about herself being a slut.
So define slut however you want it, but if you are using it as an insult, it is going to be insulting no matter what. And the second example you are describing sounds like a woman who is insecure and has self-esteem problems, but could also be called a slut as well.
Either way, the problem that you are attempting to identify is not a problem of the word itself, rather than a problem of people being simple-minded enough to think that the possession of ONE "negative" character trait (such as sexual promiscuity) is enough to degrade the entirety of a woman's character and having that character trait is good enough reason alone to look down upon that woman and associate her with the aforementioned crazy slut, when the reality is for many women, their lifestyle is not nearly so dirty and crazy. They are just doing what humans enjoy doing, getting laid.
that's honestly very ignorant ~ cos people perform sexual acts often for the pleasure of another ... its called giving , not "Slut" i think the author of this thread is a selfish opinionated brat ^__^ am sorry to insult but your very offensive and selfish minded. BTW, a slut is a person who places little or no value on honest intimacy.
It's just even worse if they don't use protection and sleep with random people as a form of insecurity.
What if she's a virgin and doesn't carry out any acts with any of them? Is she a slut? Just curious.
If you are in the Porn business by my definition you get a pass, as it is just business.
Anyone else should be able to have sex as as often as they like with as many different people as they see fit to have it with, and that in and of itself has no bearing on "sluthood"
