"Enjoying sex" doesn't mean "only in a traditional monogamous relationship" if we're talking about Zappa. He's not a Puritan like you folks seem to be.

I have a completely positive view of sluttiness.
If I were to find anything offensive, it would be something like "Love me less, respect me more," because that suggests an anti-sex view to me, as if loving a woman (with sexual connotations to that) somehow amounts to not respecting them, which is complete bull****. I'm completely unsympathetic to anyone who equates sexual desire, male or female, especially re casual sex, with a lack of respect, with misogyny, etc.
Re Zappa alumni, I've worked with Ike Willis, Mike Keneally, Ed Mann, Tom and Bruce Fowler, Bobby Martin and Vinnie Colaiuta (mostly at different times, in different contexts).
