Promiscuity

I think neither men or women need to be sleeping around with multiple partners. I think this is a big reason why there are so many sexually transmitted diseases. We have become careless. Yes, I do think that men think they are studs if they sleep with more than one woman and that women are classified as being loose if they have more than one partner. It is sort of a double standard.

Of course it's not fair but for some reason us women are supposed to be the soft and gentle ones who take everything to heart whereas men are supposed to be more primal and cavemen types so they have to satisfy their urges by sleeping around and making mulptiple conquests. When a woman does it, it apparently goes completely against how women should be, i.e. love one man and be all demure and all that cr*p! LOL What a load of tosh. It's a thought process which has been drummed into our minds over centuries by MEN and MEN only. I'm not saying I agree with people screwing around like bunny rabbits with multiple partners (because I really DO NOT agree with it personally) it's not exactly healthy for starters (spreading STDs and the like) but if it's good for John it should be good for Jane too!

This question does come up time and time again here is a link to a similar discussion; http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1850231.aspx I'm going to post a link from there and back to here... Now the answer is that we have to define what is promiscuous? Is it wrong to think that you have fallen in love only to realize that you aren't so you search out another more compatible mate and partner? I would say that it is wrong to search out another mate while in a committed relationship and that also has a need to be defined? If two people can not talk to each other and they do not live together they are certainly not in a committed relationship. So? What is promiscuity when you are thinking that you have found the right one only to get betrayed and realize that it is not your fault the other person is not committed to you but it is their fault for not being supportive of you and the relationship that the two of you are to be partners in? Release and let go of the old and find someone new if your relationship turns to abuse. The reply of -- #18.mechanicNOT62 -- was really great at clarifying some of the character traits involved in our natural psyche as we interact with each other on a base level growing to become civilized. I would add that the protective feature can be over stimulated and the woman can thereby be convinced to drive her mate away for any number of reasons, until a season comes that she once again wishes to be a part of a partnership with a new mate. In relationships she chooses to move on more than him sometimes depending on cultural influences. There is nothing that anyone can do if a woman is so inclined to be so abusive. But what do I know?

Well I must be really old fashioned because I met my husband when I was 14 years old ,and was with him for almost 25 years before he passed away,and I have since had a boyfriend for about 7 years so that is two men in my life ,I am 48 and yes I do believe if a woman sleeps around with a lot of men she is loose as you say (but I could say alot worse words than that) and there is no way I would be with a man that had slept around with heaps of women either).

Because it was hypocrite men who started the double standard. Do as I say not as I do....

I think society must be blamed for this.If a man is seeing multiple partners,he is considered macho and if a woman is doing the same thing she is considered loose. We need to change our mindsets.We have been brought up in such an environment in which it is taught that man is more worthy of having multiple relationships but woman is criticized for this.

well here if a man sleep with muliple partners he is considered a player and if a woman sleep with muliple partner she is considered a hoe.to sleep a round is not good period too many diseases out there.it,s not about being fair it,s all in the way he are she carry them self.

I think it goes back to the age old belief by men that they are superior to women and therefore, look down on women who behave in a manner that levels the playing field between them. Men can be SUCH babies! lol

This is so true and something that irritates me no end!! I do not think it is fair at all and to be honest when I was in the dating scene if a man was interested in me but had a reputation I would steer clear of them. It is not really anything to boast about especially not with all the STD's there are about these days!! So I would not call a man like that a stud more like stud with a pi in the middle.

I don't believe a woman is loose for the number of partners she's had, I think it's more related to WHY she's sleeping around. I see women who take multiple partners because they think guys will like her more, or because she is looking for love. THAT is s1utty to me because you are lying to yourself, and putting your body at risk. Some men are s1utty in the same way I guess, but for the most part I think their motives for multiple partners are simply physical. They don't lie to themselves about what it means, or look for anything that isn't there. I don't think you can be a s1ut for your number of partners, so I think that's an unfair label. But I would agree that promiscuous women are more often s1utty than men.

People are less human then ever. Now they don´t care for feelings yet they look like crazy for people that care for them. I think this is one way to feel wished or something like that. But in the end the ones they are sleeping with don´t give a damn to them. People need to rescue self respect and the respect for others, just this way this world will get better.

Don't you find it cute that girls respect themselves more than men? Girls value themselves more than men. A woman who is not promiscuous only means that she has great moral values and upbringing.
