Basically, it's someone who doesn't value themselves.
You can sleep with more than one person in your life and not be a slut. It's not so much the action as it is the reasons and emotions behind that action.

All of our bodies are sacred temples for the Holy Spirit.
Men can be raped, too, you know. By women. It's happened. Remember that sicko schoolteacher and the twelve year old boy? I think that that boy's body was just as sacred as any girl's.
Schizophrenic? Yes, I really mean it.

What I'm referring to is this:
A man who sleeps around with lots of women is a "stud" (which is generally lauded).
A woman who sleeps around with lots of men is a "slut" (which is generally despised).
I realize that view has changed over time but it hasn't changed with religionists and traditionalists. And, that's still the vast majority.
How did this schizophrenic outlook come to be?
My opinion is that it's generally understood that most men want to have as much sex as possible. However, it's usually difficult to make that happen so if a man can be successful at it, it usually means that he's something special. For some reason, when it comes to men, that specialness is not diminished by promiscuous actions (all other things being equal).
On the other hand, it's generally easy for women to have as many sexual partners as they want. So, sleeping around is seen as nothing special for most women. But, why is promiscuity generally seen as something shameful for women? My theory is women are expected to not like sex as much as men do so if a woman does love sex to the point that it pushes her to be promiscuous, she's seen as defective. That's my non-religious explanation. The religious part of it goes without saying IMHO.
