"Don’t you think that makes you a bit of a slut, having so many men in your life?"

My older brother turned to me one day, after I’d mentioned a few male friends of mine in a conversation and said: “I’m not being funny Lou, but don’t you think that makes you a bit of a slut, having so many men in your life?” I was 23, at university and working in a bar. Of course I knew a lot of men. He’s said similar things since - mentioning a guy by name means I’ve had sex with them.
