In your opinion, is promiscuity wrong?

Ignoring the threat of STDs and/or unwanted pregnancy (the person in question is always hellbent about practicing safer sex methods), do you think promiscuity is wrong? In other words, if someone regularly has sex with multiple people–including ONS's with strangers–in the same week (and has had partners that range in the hundreds), do you feel that this is wrong, or makes them a person of questionable character?

Uh, NO!
With my history of the sexual revolution in the '60s where I did one night stands (actually one-hour stands then back into the field), where I didn't even know the name of the person I was fucking and where I had friends with benefits before that even became a catch phrase, I have to say I do not consider promiscuity wrong.
In fact I consider it a natural state of our species and those who follow other models of behavior may be going against nature.
Now I do follow some restraint. I have not made love to hundreds of ppl, just 60 over a lifetime (a quarter century of which I was in relationships).

There's nothing wrong with having an active sex life, but when it reaches the level of "promiscuity," then that is bad. Just like there isn't anything wrong with drinking until it gets to be so excessive that it can be called alcoholism.

I think that infidelity is wrong, not promiscuity. But I am a romantic at heart so I think it’s better when two people find their “soul mates” and become exclusive with each other. I think it’s better but realistically I know that’s rarely the case. So as long as they’re being responsible and safe, I say have at it. Unless, that is she’s a nymphomaniac and he’s a satyr. Get some help then.

using the alcoholic analogy, I suppose there may be a "sex addiction" but it would have to be like alcoholism or other addiction; interfering with work and other activities of daily living and physical dependence where you would go into delirium tremens if you couldn't get any.

I don't see anything really wrong with it, if thats your thing then do it, however if in a relationship then I would say its very wrong.

In ancient American Indian cultures, when the children became teenagers, promiscuity was heavily encouraged with them, however when they finally married, the men seldom had more than one wife, never more than two or three, and the women could very easily get divorced from their husbands, so it seems to me that once they were partnered up, they pretty much had to stick with the ones they married. Now, while a lot of the things they did thousands of years ago are very radical and 'modern' by our standards (women could get divorce, women were the heads of the households, they selected the tribe chiefs, etc), one thing to remember is back then the life expectancy was what, about 30? So you WOULD have to find somebody you were sexually compatible with because everybody had a lot of kids back then. Today that's not the issue, so this is one area where I think out with the old is a fitting idea. And while it comes down to what each indivudal thinks is best for them, I really can't see much benefit in being a doorknob that everybody's had a turn with.

Eh....just let me know if you're the 'promiscuous' type and I'll deal with the situation from there. Essentially, you're entitled to do what you want to do as long as you're not hurting anybody but it does raise the question about your character. Why are you fucking everybody? Pick one or three and be easy. I fail to see the thrill or 'excitement' of sleeping with any and everybody.

I would say I'm a liberal on most things, but with this I'm more conservative. I believe sex should be saved for people you care about and/or love. Sex is missing a major component if there's no heart and soul in it. I used to be, what I call a "former whore," but I have "reformed." Back in the days when I was promiscuous it didn't make me feel good. It didn't make me feel a lady, it made me feel cheap.

Three female posters so far can't grasp this. We may be getting into one of those gender specific areas.
It's been kicked around forever and the consensus is even quantified that men approach things differently than women.

. Oh I see. So you have to be a slut bag in order to have a proper orgasm. It can 'feel good' with just one person. It can 'feel good' with three persons. You don't need to fuck the entire city population in order for the sex to 'feel good'. Please miss me with that bull. All that exchanging of bodily fluids, swapping spit and Lord knows whatever else with complete fucking strangers and you have no qualms about it. Like I said, you do you. I hope you're upfront with your 'feel good loving tendencies' with whomever you get involved with.

No, I can grasp the fact that you don't have a problem whoring yourself out. I grasp the fact knowing what an orgasm is. But perhaps you need to grasp the fact that letting the White pages run through you and passing it off as a 'sexual revolution' isn't necessarily a good thing. Maybe if you were getting paid top dollar for it.

I see nothing wrong with having as much sex whenever and with whoever you want if you always practice SS.
Don't think promiscuity is wrong so long as no one is being lied to or cheat on.

Slut Bag? Whoring yourself out? You're being pretty nasty with the name calling. (might even be against forum board rules)
But it is colorful I suppose. And it shows your parochial, sex-negative attitude as well as your ignorance of what was happening in America and Europe 40 years ago.
I did not invent the Sexual Revolution or Free Luv, but I was an active participant with millions of other young ppl of the day. It came about in large part because of the dishonest, prudery of the 1950s in which we all grew up.
You would've liked that Ozzie & Hariet/Leave it to Beaver time of sexual repression, except maybe for the blatant racial discrimination that also was the norm. We young slut bags, also rebelled against that and lived with and even made love to ppl of different races.
Like I say, you had to have been there.
Zeitgeist
Here is one of my favorite foto series from Eros in 1962
It celebrates the new sexual freedom of the day as well as interracial lovers.
BTW, This was a controversial publication and Ralph Ginsberg got arrested for pornography with what is clearly not considered porn these days. What this picture series suggests was not only promiscuity but was against the law in over 15 states. The propriety or the racial segregation did not make sense to many young ppl of the '60s.

No, not morally wrong. As long as you're honest about it.

Yes I do believe it is morally wrong. Never have seen ANY good whatsoever come of it that isn't gone within minutes.

Promiscuity is a lot like overeating, it shows a lack of impulse control. It's not that big a leap from having a sex addiction.
