2. sexy vs. slutty
We’ve been trying to uncover the difference between sexy and slutty.
We see advertisements that appear to be slutty instead of sexy all the
time... but why is that?
An image can change completely because of one little detail, whether
it be attitude, body position, facial expression, or what someone is
wearing. There is something about a sexy photo that draws us in, but
there is also something about a slutty photo that totally turns us off.
Is there something specific that makes photos look sexy or slutty? In
order to get a better insight on this topic, I decided to look into myself.
When do I look sexy and when do I look slutty?

18. SELF DISCOVERY
There is a fine line between sexy and slutty.
A photo comes off as slutty when it’s impersonal– when you don’t even
know who’s in the photo, or what her story is. When the camera is focused
on her body and not her face, the photo takes away meaning and value...
the girl lacks personality and she lacks life.
Sexy is natural, innocent, soft, genuine, and real. It’s up close and
personal– it’s in your face. It’s confident, but modest at the same time. It
shows real girls with real feelings.
Sexy photos are approachable, while slutty photos can be intimidating.
