dissolute

dissolute

\DIS-uh-loot\ , adjective;

1.Loose in morals and conduct; marked by indulgence in sensual pleasures or vices.

 

I wish this word rolled off the tongue a bit easier, because it encompasses all of the qualities I search for in a woman. Loose morals AND indulgence in sensual pleasures? Are you free this weekend? No? What about right now in this broom closet? 

Unfortunately it sounds like an insulting word with it's hissing SS's and general condescension. It's a shame such words sound so judgemental when they promise so much fun. Much like the lovely onomatopoeia dissolute somehow sounds exaclty like what it is. If it sounded like a bit more fun then maybe more people would want to act in a dissolute fashion. 

Take the word cuddle, for example. Cuddle is an adorable word, and I believe it is due to this that everyone loves cuddling. But if I were referred to as a man behaving in a dissolute fashion I would feel like I needed to say 5 Hail Mary's and flog myself. 

In conclusion, we do not need to cease living lives of excess and hedonism, we just need to come up with cuter words to describe it.
