It's OK For Women To Be Promiscuous

There’s nothing wrong with being promiscuous. Our society is one big double standard, but I’m sure you realize that. You’re damned no matter what choices you make. If you’re overweight, you’re unhealthy. If you’re skinny, you’re on drugs. If you don’t drink, you’re boring; if you do drink, you’re a lush. If you don’t have sex, you’re a prude; if you do have sex, you’re a slut.

Here are my reasons to support female promiscuity

Female Promiscuity Is Natural

It's OK For Women To Be Promiscuous

New anthropological research on human behavior has found that when it comes to sexual selection, females aren't merely passive objects of male competition, but actively seek out multiple partners as an "evolutionary strategy." According to science, we're all sluts. This result was published by human behavioral ecologist Brooke Scelza in an article titled "Choosy but not Chaste: Multiple Mating in Human Females" which was published in Evolutionary Anthropology journal.

It is Their Body

It's OK For Women To Be Promiscuous

It is their body. Who are you to judge? They can do whatever they want to with their body. As long as their intentions are clear and they're sleeping with men for enjoyment and not sabotage, who are we to judge? Who is anyone?

We’re Curious Creatures

It's OK For Women To Be Promiscuous

Humans are naturally curious animals. Our progress is proof of this. So what's wrong if a woman wants to explore the sexual world? She can and if she wants then she should!

Being Single Makes You Desperate

It's OK For Women To Be Promiscuous

It is not true for everyone but on G@G, we're familiar how much desperate singles are to lose their virginity and get laid. Living without intimacy can be challenging. I'm not saying it's impossible. Nothing is impossible, but dating and sex go hand in hand. This desperation can lead to depression. Getting laid can help you to reduce it.

It's Experimentation At Its Best

It's OK For Women To Be Promiscuous

Sex can be part of the day to day life. Promiscuity is just a sexual experiment at its best. It's like one day you eat at McDonald's next day you eat at Burger King. That's all. Just like trying on shoes at the department store or test-driving cars at a dealership, some women feel the need to experiment with multiple men in the bedroom. Experimenting isn't a bad thing, and women shouldn't feel bad because of it.

Men Do It Too

It's OK For Women To Be Promiscuous

We're living in the 21st century. We've feminism, we've equality (or at least trying to achieve it) I'm not feminist but I do believe in gender equality and equal sexual freedom should be part of it. If we're okay with men sleeping around then why not women? They've right to do so. If we see a promiscuous woman we slut shame her. It isn't fair. Men are promiscuous, and women shouldn't be made to feel bad if they are as well. #StopSlutShaming

  • ... do you think women are mentally handicapped? They are well aware they have every right to be promiscuous as they want. They can make a living having sex on camera with strangers if they want. They're not going to go to jail or pay fines for it or get their driver's licenses taken away.

    What outrages women is that men have every right to say "I am not interested in having a relationship with a promiscuous woman."

    In other words, women know they have the power and right to make their own choices--what has them screaming in fury is that men are free to make their own choices as they best see fit.

  • Yes, it is OK. The problem comes when you find that special person to share the rest of your life.

    Guy asks, "How many previous partners?"

    You gonna be honest and say too many to count?

    Yes, it is fine being promiscuous. Just do not expect it to be as easy to find an LTR!

    Same applies to guys!

  • Well, men better not complain about women being hoes then. They love them. Fornication is still fornication. If you do it too, you can't judge. "According to science, we're all sluts." Science can say whatever they want. I've never touched a man. No man have ever touched me in that way. I ain't no slut or hoe. I refuse to. Bunch of crazy people.

  • Wow, we do agree on something... lol

  • Can women enjoy casual sex? Certainly. Without a doubt. A woman can have sex with over five thousand men, and loved every minute of it. It makes her feel sexy and proud, and if it's evidence of an illness, she's clear that it's one she doesn't want to be cured of. But SHOULD women (or men) have casual sex? That's a different question and one that is not likely to be answered clearly or universally by science.

    *"Being Single Makes You Desperate"*

    *" I'm not saying it's impossible. "*

    Why you are saying?

    We can't generalize.

    What is your Definition of Feminism?

    Should she sleep with anyone just because they are curious?

    Good Example of Mc D and Burger King.

    memegenerator.net/.../good-joke-bro.jpg

    I would not be surprised if you compare sex with burger king in 21st century. Our bodies are precious. We should experiment. 🙃

    • "Living without intimacy can be challenging. I'm not saying it's impossible." Yup we can't generalize. That's why I wrote "It is not true for everyone"

    • I didn't say she "should" I said "She can if she wants to" . This take is against #SlutShaming and not explaining why everyone should be slut

    • Slut-shaming is the practice of criticizing women and girls who are perceived to violate expectations of behavior and appearance regarding issues related to sexuality. Examples are violating dress code policies by dressing in perceived sexually provocative ways, requesting access to birth control, having premarital, casual, or promiscuous sex, engaging in prostitution, or when being victim blamed for being raped or otherwise sexually assaulted. If your take is against slut shaming. Why you didn't addressed other things? If you cannot generalize there is no point of mentioning. Most of Girls who are single aren't despirate. How you can claim that it makes them despirate? If it makes them despirate does it mean that you are slut shaming them by calling them despirate? *"Evolutionary Anthropology journal."* It's random blog on Internet. It's not any part of International Journal on which I should believe. If it is where is ISBN NUMBER?

  • Lets get some facts straight.
    We have principles then we have morals.
    This take is subjective to what?
    Morality. Yes? so if morality is ones own code in whats right, then why are you speaking for others? Spreading a false idea that a specific gender being immoral is perhaps the right thing.
    Immoral vs choice.
    Just cause you sleep with multiple partners doesn't mean you'll get rewarded. Actually there's consequences in the long term in eyes of others. Which they perceive as wrongful act, turn off, deal breaker if you call it.
    So now, still not convinced? So we esblished that not everyone see it that way, its immoral, generalizing and assumptions.
    Now, in what circle of hell do you get this idea that we should stop slut shaming, we are insecure, we are this and we are that. Its like me bitching about feminist and say stopmanhating.
    Mmmmmmokay.
    Well, do as you please but think of the consequences.

  • Absolutely agree.

    Sex between enthusiastically consenting adults, as long as it is reasonably safe, is a fundamentally good thing. It's healthy for you physically and emotionally.

    Count me in on #StopSlutShaming

  • Yes women have a right to do it. However men also have a right not to want to make a commitment with such women. There are reasons why men are not attracted to the idea of forming long term relationships with such women. There are even studies proving that those types of women, make for horrible partners for men. Women that sleep around can't even properly bond with a man after just a few partners in most cases. Even most women would advise a guy not to marry an ex prostitute, because it is obvious that women that sleep around a lot, make horrible long term partners. Generally this fact is what makes women sensitive to being called a slut.

    Another thing worth pointing out is that men are basically slut shamed all the time as well. Women are seen as degrading or lowering themselves when they sleep around, but men that sleep around are treated like they are misogynists that are hurting the women he sleeps with. Men don't get called "sluts" but they have equivalent names. Womanizer, which is used to show he uses women. Man whore, to make him sound like he has an STD, or is dirty in some way. Fuckboy is used to indicate he has no standards. Pervert, and creep are also common ones.

    In addition men are still more commonly virgin shamed, so he can only be seen as a man if he is good enough to be chosen by a woman, but is seen as a womanizer that uses women, if he doesn't want to commit to her. This is harmful to guys, because men that are seen as dangerous to women, have trouble finding a partner, and may even have violence used against him by other men. So guys, just like women, are having our sexuality used to shame us into acting a certain way as well. The difference is we are expected to man up instead of complaining about how unfair it is.

    Besides when it comes to shaming someone, people will often just attack anything they know will hurt them. Calling a man a pervert, or creep will effect him more than calling a woman a pervert, even if the man is very honorable in his intentions. Calling a woman a slut will effect her more than calling a man a slut, even if she is still a virgin. We each have are own issues there, but there really isn't a big difference. People will use the insult that will do the most damage, even if they don't believe the insult is true.

    Slut shaming women won't stop, until women no longer care about slut shaming. Virgin shaming men won't stop, until men no longer care about virgin shaming. That is just the reality we live in.

  • While I have no intention to comment whether promiscuity is OK (it is a personal choice after all) I have a huge issue with the reasons listed here:

    1. I HATE the "it's natural" argument. It's a completely hollow one and carries no meaning. Everything in nature is natural, but that does not make it a good idea. It is natural to have random sex. It's natural to contract diseases. It's natural to eat your offspring. It's natural to get killed by flesheating bacteria. I hope I made my point.

    2. The "It's their body" argument is also meaningless. Of course it's their bodies. You can't control someone else's body. But that doesn't mean you owe nothing to your friends and family. Living your life like you are all alone on this planet and caring little for what your closest people think about your actions is the fastest way to dying alone and bitter.

    3. Curiosity killed the cat.

    4. Not being promiscuous doesn't automatically make you single or a prude. Quality over quantity has always held true. Unless you're Stalin

    5. Men do it to? Who? The average guy or those imbeciles from Hollywood? The world doesn't revolve around them and neither should our life choices. To do something just so that you don't fall behind the herd is cattle mentality at its worst. In fact the overwhelming population of this planet lives in various cultures, very different to what Westerners are accustomed to and the classic Casanova/macho who seduces women left and right will probably end up dead anywhere outside North America and Western Europe.

    So you have to do a lot better if you're going to convince women to drop their panties, man.

  • Haha cute post - our ancestors also used to bash one another heads in with rocks but we don't that anymore!

    Follow up article: 'Barrier contraceptives defy natural order'.

    • True lol

  • Yeah I never get the assumption that choosy means we don’t fuck a lot. Out if billions of guys you can be choosy and still fuck thousands.

  • It's ok as long as she faces the consequences. No one is entitled to tell her what to do. Her sexual behavior is her problem. But every action has it consequences.
    A lot of men won't consider a woman who's been sleeping around girlfriend material. The usual reason is they'll think she's gonna cheat once she get's bored of a single sexual partner. It doesn't matter whether that's true or not. Other men are going to feel threaten by her past, it will feed their insecurities, they'll think she's going to find them bad in bed because there's a good chance she had better lovers (having had so many). And they won't take her seriously. Again it doesn't matter whether it makes sense or not. Those guys are out of the list. And that's a consequence. She won't be affected provided that she finds a guy who doesn't care. But trust me, finding a decent guy isn't easy and shortening the list isn't a good idea.

  • Absolutely.

    Being promiscuous often leads to better sexual understanding, education and information leading to a reduction in STI's, unwanted pregnancies, abortions and allowing women to lead fulfilling lives in business rather than being forced into a life stuck in a house doing whatever her husband wants.

    Don't let yourself get red-pilled, go out there and be the person you want to be, it's your life, be the bad-ass you want to be and don't let nay sayers hold you back. They're not worth your time.

    Just watch out for conservatives and libertarians because they'll look to punish you for it.

  • I say to let the market decide (and clearly there are separate markets for the promiscuous and non-promiscuous, as well as for those that don't care).

  • That's not correct. First and foremost one article claiming its good is not the same as having evidence that it is good. In fact we have substantial data showing that promiscuity is harmful to people, especially to women. First and foremost the fact that monogamy has been practiced in every major and almost all minor civilizations occurring independently of one another should be considered the first indicator of the issues with promiscuity. The others are of course are the fact that currently the only way women are able to be promiscuous is with the advent of birth control which is a very modern achievement. Without this pregnancy would be near certain and that means nine months of increasingly restricted movement, increased need for resources and decreased ability to defend oneself procure resources, reduced ability to flee from predators all of which increase the odds of death for the woman and her offspring. As for the source you provided they as far as I can tell merely state that its beneficial and provide no evidence basing this assumption off of one particular species (at least that they list) of monkeys that seem to have a greater tendency towards multiple mates (and ignores several species of apes that don't do this). Also the fact that male genitalia does not reflect this as human males have comparatively small testicles (and significantly larger penis) then most other species meaning they produce less sperm which itself would be required if they where competing with other males sperm, the greater the quantity the more likely that their sperm would be the one that fertilizes the egg, yet that is not what we see. Further more the only time we see any real deviation from general monogamy is in the form of polygamy which is multiple women with one male and their are few cases of actual polyandry. Both are not common but one woman with multiple male partners is incredibly rare as men will not wish to share a mate as it reduces their chances of reproduction. The only real exception is one group around the himalayes where conditions are such that in order to provide enough resources for a family to function it is necessary to have more males, most of which are blood related, producing and thus sharing those resources with one mate. The reason its important to note that they are generaly related is because this would ensure that a shared blood line will survive if not the individual one. So this is not what is observed in nature generally speaking.

    • Then you get into the statistics which show an increased rate of anxiety/depression, higher risk of STD's, increased dissatisfaction with long term relationships with increased rates of cheating and divorce all of which are catastrophically damaging to the relationship which itself is necessary to raise children. All data shows monogamous relationships create the stability needed to raise happy and healthy children. Statistically 80% of all inmates come from single mother homes, children of divorce (or raised by single mothers which is far more likely to occur with promiscuity (again keeping in mind that for almost the entirety of our species (and ancestors) existence their was no means to protect against pregnancy)) are more likely to engage in criminal behavior, more likely to commit suicide and be depressed, more likely to be impoverished, high rate of academic failure, etc.

    • Then of course you have the fact that even if we where to pretend its natural (again, data heavily suggests otherwise) you still run into the fact that it wouldn't matter. What is natural is not always what is best. It may be natural for me to want to attack some one who makes me angry, doesn't mean that is what is best for our society to function properly which itself ensures my survival. Choice is also irrelevant as it being your choice doesn't stop it from doing harm to you and others. You have the choice to be an alcoholic, it should not be made illegal but its still harmful to you and it still puts others at risk (drunk driving, the trauma that could cause family from you harming yourself etc.) and thus should be discouraged. Same goes for the argument that its just experimenting, sure it may be that (but why do you need to experiment with so many people in unsafe settings (strangers, STD's etc.)? Do we encourage people to experiment with meth? Or Acid?

    • No because you being curious doesn't suddenly make it a good decisions, it just means your ignorant of what the possible consequences can be. So what is natural or fun is not what is efficient and healthy. Its like arguing that I should be allowed to eat all the fried food I want, all the sugar I want, without excercising and be healthy. Sure I can do that, no one is going to stop me, sure those things will even trigger a pleasure response in my brain, but that's not going to change the fact that it will slowly (or not so slowly) enlarge my liver, clog my arteries, put strain on my heart, harden my arterial walls, and cause my pancrease to give out ensuring that I die far sooner then I would otherwise. What I want and what is are two different things. No one should stop you, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't voice concern and discourage the self destructive behavior (which some psychiatrist are now viewing promiscuity as a form of self harm because of the issues it causes).

    • Do you believe we should keep our legs closed as much as possible?

    • @YourFutureEx Not being promiscuous =/= Not having sex Being promiscuous =/= having more sex Me and my best ff have a promiscuous bi friend. We all started having sex around the same age. She'd been having far far less sex than I have. And I have far less sex than my best friend who's been married for 4 years. And she can have that many 'safe' partners because she's a rich kid. Sex is a pretty dirty and if done wrong, costly game. With all the cultural and social rules that we've made to "keep our legs closed as much as possible" and with all the medical breakthroughs in the past 100 years STDs and STIs are still rampant and have even been increasing. The 70's sexual revolution was spurred because of the use of Penicillin and then the Pill, and the fact some young hippies thought they could have disease-free promiscuous sex. They've turned a medical breakthrough into a cultural shit show that's been causing nothing in the society but STDs, teen pregnancy

  • Science sees what man like to see. Woman in science give man what man like to see. Science is untrustworthy to be proven and useless and gives us man wrong ideas. If a man loves a woman let him ask the woman what she likes or not by simply dealing with her for a while.
    Man brag. Man are shy. They do not like to show that to other man.
    Man are afraid. Man do not dare to show that to other man.
    But eventually how man are is not in the benefit of woman's nature.
    Man destroy eventually womans nature.
    This is not in the benefit of man. So cowards of man need to become more brave. You do not go to the mall to buy a woman. You have to get after her.
    You do not take what they put in front of your nose. Because they bring the mouse to the cat.
    This way the cat lose its nature of hunt and wait passive for the mouse to be brought while the cat does not know they brought the mouse to the cat.
    So was the cat brave? No.
    Man have no father no more with muscles. Because society creates man without muscles.
    Woman lose thei apatide this way.
    Man are tought to be proud to wait for the woman to go to the man.
    Man ask this way to be cheaten. Man do this way not show to the woman they like what a woman does need to know and to feel is taken away from her this way.
    So man can not have a woman who is really faminine but just adjusted to the mans need as she is wrongly taught to be in our society.
    Man must break through that patron. Give a good example to others and they follow you.

  • Promiscuity, male or female, is not okay nor is it normal even though society has made it out to be that way. Promiscous is just a bunch of people sleeping with a whole bunch of other random people, people who practice that kind of lifesyle is not usually respected by both sexes.

    • Fuck yes.

  • Yeah!, woooh! this guy! I've been somewhat experiential in my earlier years and I don't regret it. I'm clean, never had an abortion and only got sick once from an actual committed relationship.

    Promiscuity doesn't mean the person is easy or unclean either, I've turned down affluent and handsome men, who were just douches and made me dry up down there.

    Also no, I wasn't screwing three men in a week or anything like that, who has time for all that? I was just very free spirited and changed them when they started to make my head hurt. Or I would have sex with a guy because I wanted to.

    I would stick with my sex buddies for a good period before we drifted apart. I didn't hate men, nor did we have bitter break ups, they still see me and hug me. People assume I hate men because I was treated like shit by my exes, but a lot of the horrible things that happened to me, came from men who wanted me and couldn't get me.

  • Lol whoops i just wrote "its okay to be a slut"
