An ethical slut is a person of any gender who celebrates sexuality with more than one partner and works to do so in ways that are ethical and respect the feelings and rights of others. Coined by Dossie Easton (me) and Janet Hardy in the book of the same title.

Ethical Monogamy

Ethical monogamy is the practice of having only one relationship at a time that is carried out in an honest, authentic, genuine, caring and respectful manner.
In contrast to 'ethical non-monogamy' (and perhaps 'irresponsible monogamy'), people are emotionally and sexually involved with only one person at a time and have a strong sense of responsibility for how they impact one another's lives.

Ensuring both individuals are in a state where they feel fully informed about the others current feelings and status of their relationship is an important aspect of ethical monogamy. Regular check-in's and conversations are used to help both partners feel secure and healthy in their relationship.

This term has risen out of an era of disconnected, detached and damaging dating and relationship formats. If a relationship were to turn into an 'unethical state' or damaging place for either party, there is no longer an expectation that the relationship should continue in any way, shape or form.

Ethel

Ethel, is the most special person in existence. She is the most beautiful woman in the universe. As someone who has experience with an Ethel, she is the most caring and fun person to be with, you can even say she's the best partner a man could ever have (I'm so lucky). If a dog is a man's best friend, an Ethel is a man's best girlfriend (by a "man" I mean me ;>). If you have an Ethel, consider yourself a very lucky and blessed human being, 'cause she's a keeper. Although, she requires a lot of attention and love (she also talks about random stuff that has nothing to do with anything, and it makes me laugh). An Ethel is very hot, like super duper hot... hotter than wearing a fur jacket during summer (I am not kidding). She is also short, which also makes her very cute :3.

For those who have their own Ethel, take good care of them.

To my Ethel, I love you so much! -M
Hey is that an Ethel, wow she reminds me of a chicken nugget.

Ethel

A girl name.

One of the only good girls left in the world; she is beautiful both inside and out.

Guys beg for her, and girls envy her.

If you're lucky enough to date her, never leave her or give her reason to. You will never be able to find a girl like her again.

Impossible not to love.
Guy: Man, I saw this girl the other day, and I swear I was captivated for at least 20 min!

Guy Two: Yeah, it must have been an Ethel

Ethel

Strong, like ten maybe twenty mule.
In old country, marrying a woman named Ethel was a good catch. She could plow 5 acres a day, and still have a hot dinner on the table before her husband returned from work.

The Hacker Ethic

Hacker code of morality that was originally formed by the MIT hackers in the late 1950s to the late 1960s and articulated by Steven Levy in his book HACKERS: HEROES OF THE COMPUTER REVOLUTION. The creed is as follows:

1)Always yield the Hands-On Imperative! Access to computers-- and andything else which might teach you about the way the world works-- should be unlimited and total.
2) All information should be free.
3) Mistrust Authority-- Promote Decentralization.
4) Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
5) You can create art and beauty on a computer.
6) Computers can change your life for the better.
While many of the 1960s hackers claim that modern hackers have rejected this code, it has actually strongly influenced all hackers for the last thirty years.
