Based on information from interviews, books, song lyrics, articles, cultural/historical context etc. I see little reason to assume Frank Zappa had a subjective interpretation without negative connotation for the word "slut".
I've provided several arguments and also a few sources to support this, among them the account of his secretary who seem to say that Frank Zappa and The Mothers had a double standard, one in which sleeping around was okay/encouraged for guys, but seen as a negative for girls.
If you want to argue that Frank had a more special and less negative connotation in mind, perhaps you should also present some evidence to support that.
