Misato the slut?
Although the show labels her as an overly sexual person who uses sex as escape, she's only really fucked one guy the whole time. Why didn't the series have her hooking up with other men to emphasize her character flaws rather than the one guy? The only other time was apparently her trying to get Shinji's dick wet, but other than that, it wasn't very obvious what her problem was until they state it in the end of the series.
So why did the creators decide only Kaji (and Shinji) get the loving if loving is the way she copes?

That's because she's not a slut.
Misato doesn't know how to create real emotional intimacy and thus only knows how to relate to those she cares about with sex. It's a shortcut that ultimately leads nowhere, because even when such openness is offered she's terrified of rejection and thus has to run away.

Thank you, oh voice of /a/.Xard wrote:They're all sluts
As sluts go, Misato talks the talk but doesn't seem to walk the walk.
Now, if it were Misato the slattern -- then we get all the confirmation we need in the first two episodes.

Oh, but she was a slut. She was getting wasted and banging dudes (and some ladies) left and right, its just that we didn't see it on screen.

She just fell into that trap of sex = intimacy/love even though sex is neither if the love isn't there also.
Not sure, but isn't there evidence to suggest lack of a good father-figure for girls can make them slutty in later life because they don't know how else to behave around men so just do what society says attacts them? If so that's probably Misato's case, just she only did it with Kaji.

Misato is in no way a slut. Sure, she flirts a lot, but not in a way where she is seriously pining for Shinji's manhood; she does it in more of a fun, teasing way toward him. With Kaji, the only man in the entirety of the show that she has had a relationship with, it's different because they were, in fact, lovers. Her loving to have sex with her lover does not make her a slut, especially if she actually loved him, which all signs seem to point to.
Calling Misato a slut is an even bigger stretch than calling Yoko Littner a slut, whom of which may dress suggestively during certain arcs of the show, but had only partook in romantic/sexual activities with two different men seven years apart from each other (and in the case of Kittan, it wasn't exactly mutual on her part); aside from those two affairs, Yoko was a conservatively dressed school teacher.

^Well, Gainax threatened to literally erase Yoko from existence if she didn't dress like that. Misato isn't a "slut" or whatever the less gender inclusive term would be. She's a sex fanatic, definitely. Many would be desensitized to sex after one straight week of it.

In light of the recent re-definition of the term by Tiger Woods, allow me to note that she is a "sex addict".

THIS. I always seen her treatment of Shinji as being a means to get him to 'come out of himself' and be more like a typical teenage boy or something and her kissing him was like what Kaji did for her to make her snap out of her rut.

I don't understand how a week of sex with one person could make one a fanatic for it? Or even desensitize them to it?

I believe he was saying that she's a sex addict who doesn't even get tired of, or desensitized after a single week of straight sex, which, for a lot of people, may get a little monotonous.
I disagree completely.

Ah I suppose. But still, from what she says in EoE ["I think I'm starting to get the hang of it."] I think that was her first time ever having sex, so the novelty and excitment probably hadn't worn off, there's no indication she could still be like that really.

And she had much bigger character flaws anyway, like her complete immaturity and lack of high-minded responsibility outside of her personal vendetta against the Angels, and her big ol' love/hate Daddy thing that's crippled her entire life.
