It wouldn't be nice at all if coverslut was the word for any bandaid-wearing nudie on the cover of an erotic magazine (truth be told, it's sometimes hard to tell the mainstream mags from the Maxims).
In the 1600s, a coverslut was a kind of apron women wore while out gardening or cooking to conceal the signs of their dirty work (because, how horrid!).
Slut didn't have the pejorative or sexually explicit sense it does today, but it did refer to "untidiness" or "slovenly appearance."
