I think you should start by getting her alone with you. Whether that be just the two of you in your car on your way somewhere, sitting in your living room, taking a walk, etc. Then spill it all.
You need to tell her exactly how you feel about the way shes acting. Of course not to call her slut, but tell her that her behavior is going and probably is already giving off the impression that she's "easy". Use your own words, but be sensitive. Let her know that you care, and that you used to do things like what you've been noticing shes doing, and when you did it it, it resulted in pain. You don't want her to get taken advantage of. You don't want her to make the same mistakes you did and get hurt. Thats why you're making this extra effort to speak with her about it.
She might not notice what other people see when she acts this way, but they probably don't see her in the best light, as even you, her own step mother, doesn't. Actually, her behavior is probably a result of something more serious then you and anyone else might think. If she relies on men as much as she does because of her emotional needs, maybe she needs to speak with a therapist.
Warning: Since you're getting into something personal(Her emotional problems. Relying on men.) throughout the discussion, she's probably gonna get pretty defensive. If she does reassure her that you're confronting her about this to save her ass from getting her heart broken. Tell her again that you were once the same way, and that she needs to understand that it's for her own good. Good luck!
