Anonymous(25-29)+1 yYea a lot of people told me the same. It took me a while to realize who the type of people that told me that, really were. Be careful who you talk to. It appears that those who made mistakes are the ones that want you to Also mess up. They want you to Also suffer their crimes.
Just listen to your heart, listen to your intuition. You know better.
Because trust me. The only thing you can get from being promiscuous or sleeping with many.. is STDs.. HEARTBREAK.. and DISRESPECT.
(Talking from experience here)
Just because “you’re young” don’t mean you need to loosen up that KITTY, or mess up your body in any way. You being young.. means treat your body like it’s the best thing in the universe. And I’m just gonna be real w/ you. Some of those STDS can literally give you cancer, can literally change your anatomy down there (which Is absolutely terrifying). Can literally be fatal.
Again; you should know better. Steer far away from any drug no matter how simple they appear. Steer far away from promiscuity. Steer far away from the demons that give you that type of advice. Don’t shave years off your life.

The pros, you don't have any responsibilities, have to answer to anyone, can just call whomever to kick it and fuck and goodbye! I did this in my early 20's. The bad part, you develop a wall, lack of expression of feelings b/c you know the guys don't give a shit, and become very self conscious b/c every guy has a different preference in their type of women. Yes it's fun I guess, but there's consequences. I've been married 9 years, but I am still very numb to showing my feelings b/c I was so used to being used.

Asker+1 ya lot of people told me since I'm young I shouldn't settle down with one person that I should date multiple people
- +1 y
Yea sure, date around, but some girls are more serious and truly believe these young guys want something more than a quick fuck. Young guys don't see girls anything more than an easy lay. The ones who do take the time to get to know you have potential, but that's far and few. Men don't mature until they get to about 30. Right now, a young guy is just concentrating on what he wants to do w/his life and his future. Not dealing w/a significant other. I talk to one guy still I used to fuck w/in my late teens/early 20's. He's married and has kids now, but he'll still text/message me on FB sometimes. All we did back in the day was party, get high, and then fuck. We still always kept in touch over the years. When u find The One, you'll know. Right now, just be very careful. It can hurt you emotionally. And many people carry STD's.
+1 yCons:
•Morally deficient
•Increased STD risk
•Possible lowered quality/vetting
Pros:
•None, in my opinion.
Morally deficient, let’s explain what I mean by this as perhaps this may cause undue confusion.
So, there is a thing within the scientific community, specifically involved with intimacy, called “pair bonding.” From what I understand, it’s one’s ability to develop long-term and meaningful relationships with other human beings. Now, this can be damaged if a person is with too many people, with can overload their faculties preventing them from developing the future relationships because their brain is “burnt out” so to say.
Also, do you really want to treat people as mere numbers and/or objects? It’s what will naturally happen if you’re with too many people as you cannot help it.
Focusing on multiple people will take away from each one of them.
I can say more, but I won’t.
My opinion, forget about this.10 Reply
+1 yThere are pros to dating multiple people if and only if you're honest with everyone. Then you can see how each individual meets your needs and treats you or if it each one meets what need or has something unique to value. Maybe you're actually polyamorous and some combination of parters brings you balance and betters your quality of life. The only real downside is jealously and insecurity but honestly don't put up with that shit. No matter how good the sex may be. If you're inexperienced and you're still learning your likes and kinks and exploring boundaries there is only one way to find out. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

1.2K opinions shared on Dating topic. I don't know... Maybe STDs, you confusing some guy's name with other guy's name. 😐 Or maybe hurting someone if one of them was only dating you and wanted to make it official with you while you were dating multiple people.
41 ReplyI don't see anything wrong with that if you tell the people you are dating that's what you are doing. Zig Ziglar coined the phrase, "You have to be a meaningful specific and not a wandering generality. You can't make it as a wandering generality. You'll fall flat on your face." You don't want some guy falling in love with you, or you falling in love with some guy, if that's not what you are looking for.
if you are out there casually dating and having casual sex with men you will fall flat on your face. You will cause great suffering for yourself and others. Disease, STD's, pregnancy, stalkers, creeps, etc.15 Reply

+1 yPros: it's fun, meeting new people, exploring, developing your sexuality and confidence
Cons: it's easy to neglect your friendships if there's always 'someone new', your friends will forget their names, if you don't get smarter (learn from it) you will make the same mistakes with different people.20 Reply - 3.5K opinions shared on Dating topic.
+1 ybad advice. I would date around to understand people, what you like, your needs, who you can tolerate. the other stuff may seem like fun and games... but can have greater consequences.
so you are willing to listen to other people... in fact do what they say
why not listen to the wisest people you can find, in books, and such.10 Reply
+1 yPros: You have a safety net, in case a prospect proves to be trouble. You're not adrift and lonely, just because you have to cut someone loose.
Cons: Your motives with each will be highly suspect by everyone. Rumors will fly. Depending on who is accusing you of what, your net may be sabotaged, along with your reputation. Leaving you not only with no net, but unable to attract anyone at all.10 Reply
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yPro more choice.
Con more choice.
More choice can make it very hard if you have decide. There was a point in my life I was dating 3 different gorgeous women who were seriously into me. I ended up choosing one of them who is now my ex I thought was everything I wanted in a partner but looking back regretted. One is in a happy marriage with kids. The other got with a real bad dude and is divorced with a kid.
The biggest con would be if you were potentially hoping for something serious and the guys know you are with other guys or don't know.00 Reply350 opinions shared on Dating topic. If this makes guys uncomfortable: When women have more sex, men do too. I mean homosexuality notwithstanding. But there are more gay men than lesbians anyway.
I'd mention the risk of STD's but I think it's been covered.
The next would be to find people who are more openly polyamorous. It's never cool to lie to people or assume you aren't exclusive. Especially when relationships like this are hard to come by.00 Reply- 576 opinions shared on Dating topic.
+1 yStds is the big one. But you should understand what polygamy would bring. Imagine no sex for as few as half of all men. The younger men would riot. Sex crimes would become a daily occurrence for most cities. Men wouldn’t even get jobs because they don’t have to. Imagine most women having to share a small group of men… a few 100 millionaires taking almost all women… imagine you being an option rather then a choice.

Anonymous(18-24)+1 yIn those guys heads they are just having sex and not dating you
Pros you can get laid more and more boys to spend money on you so if you get pregnant you can tell all of them it's theirs for money. Another pro is if you hate relationships this is a good player lifestyle
Cons you can get pregnant and spread aids without knowing who it was, people assume you are dirty cheater, promiscuous women have harder time securing man, can't get into relationship unless you hide your two timing past00 Reply313 opinions shared on Dating topic.

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yPros. it's fun on the beginning until it becomes boring
Cons. you give something that is limited to people who don't really value it.
At some point, still if you have the magic is an investment in someone who is worth it probably the best option.10 Reply- 6.3K opinions shared on Dating topic.
+1 yYes, just do what you're doing. It lends experience and knowledge in order to actually be able to discern whether they're worthy or not, whether it's a match or not.
And no, you don't have to have sex with them all, in fact it's not recommended. If they're a keeper, then the relationship will develop, and the sex will come naturally. Don't fall for the pump-and-dumpers. That's just a waste.00 Reply
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yThere are no pros to it, because it all goes back to sexual deviance, not to love. One partner at a time is enough. No less, these relationships can even divulge into jealousy, envy, and even covetousness over one getting more affection than the other. It's a hotbed of potiental issues.

To the asker, I get where you’re coming from. Overtime you will want some form of stability, even in a polyamorous relationship, there are points in time where you only have set partners and you’re not exploring other people outside the circle. Find what you’re comfortable with. It’s cool to ask to get some form identification with other people but other opinions truly don’t count. Your gut feeling will lead the way. Do you.
If you doing intimate stuff with them then it's slutty.
