A powerful societal pressure against being a slut in traditional European culture was the inability of a slut to provide for herself if she bore a bastard child . A man was not obligated to take care of a whore's child and thus women were pressured to be conservative because they risked not having a financial means to support their child if they simply whored themselves out.
Sluts have managed to circumvent this aspect of traditional society since the 20th century with the rise of modern child support and alimony laws. This lets sluts to whore themselves out and then collect a paycheck once enough of the sluts countless partners have taken paternity tests. Slutty behavior can be directly tied to the consequences of slutty behavior: if it is a financial risk, less women will be slutty.
Lets eliminate the aspect of the legal system that incentivizes slutty behavior. Get rid of alimony and child support.

And yet, even though it leads to financial burden and sometimes a drastic drop in quality of life, men are just as willing to whore themselves out. Use protection and this system that"incentivizes slutty behavior" won't matter. If you can't look out for yourself, don't expect someone else to. The legal protections were meant for women who were good housewives and stayed home with their children, and the husband either cheated/divorced or was abusive. In those cases, a woman wouldn't have the work experience to be able to earn enough to support herself and children. Just because some take advantage of the system doesn't mean that there aren't any who actually need what protections it offers. I personally know three house wives who have gone through this in the last five years. One's husband thought it was ok for him to have a mistress because his family had food, clothes, and a house. Bragged about it on Reddit. Another was stationed in the Philippines and wanted to actually bring his mistress back, expecting the wife to be ok with it because she had a terrible, poor life! And the last was a cliche secretary at work thing. All three of these women were great cooks believed in the traditional family. Two of them I know had an active sex life, I don't know the specifics of the third. So yea, leave the laws the way they are, but take each situation into account. In no way should a one night stand be viewed the same as a decade+ of marriage.
