When someone is very promiscuous in theory, but not in practice. They share posts frequently on social media about being freaky, sucking dick and not being able to keep track of all their sexual conquests, but do not engage in any sexual activity in real life.
"Megan's sure been sharing a lot of posts recently about raw-dogging. Did something happen that I missed?"
"Nah, it's just theoretical thottery."
