If you were promiscuous at an earlier age, was there a time later in life when that history caused a problem for you?

and this is the notorious man whore Charlie Sheen.
It appears to me that many younger people have the attitude that they want to engage in as much casual sex as they can have while they are young and, later, they will "settle down" into a serious relationship. It seems that their belief is that what they do now will not have any repercussions for them later.

Maybe they are right and I am one who just worries too much about consequences. It doesn't really matter what I think, or what they think, about long term consequences of promiscuity. What really matters is how that actually works in real life. Were you promiscuous at one time and have now become more selective about sexual partners? Has your promiscuity ever "caught up with you" and caused a problem in a current relationship or caused a problem with a reputation that you cannot escape? If so, at what age did you become more serious about your sexual encounters?
Promiscuous! Ha! What is this thing called "sex?"

  • I don't know if I can say that I was ever ‘promiscuous’, well I don't know how many partners would make me ‘promiscuous’. But something you need to understand is as a woman, you will most likely be judged regardless. In fact I only ever met guys who don’t judge at all, and don’t ask altogether or those who judge regardless if it is 2, 6 or 20. In fact the most judging anyone did with me was the guy I lost my V to. He called me a whore. We were few months dating and 18, so I don't know what gymnastics his brain did to come up with that one (and yes I dumped him for it).
    For guys like him it will always be one too many. And then you have to ask yourself, really, is this the sort of man that I want to spend my life with?

    I don’t think most women think, ‘oh well I’ll sleep with 120 partners, get herpes and my future husband will just put up with it. ’

    I think it is more of, ‘I’ll let life take its course and hopefully if I find a match he will be more like me, in mindset and maybe even in body count’. Who wants to spent the rest of their life with someone who is nothing like them and spends their whole time judging you for being nothing like ‘em?

  • I was Promiscuous most of my life. I have several types of HPV all of the cancerous forms. Have Procedures done every three months because I'm Pre-Cancerous. I will never really know whether my Uncle gave me HPV while Raping me throughout my childhood or did I get it in adulthood by several gyys.

    • I'm so sorry, @Moonchild714. You have lived a rough life.

    • Thank you @Jamie05rhs. It's given me the tools anowledge of knowing I can Survive!!! I'm a Great Therapist and Cop because if my life.

    • All the history of abuse and yet still aiding your fellow man, somehow saying thanks for your service seems trite but I can't think of anything that fits. You must be a great police officer and the world needs more of you. thank you.

  • You can probably call me a little promiscuous since I've had just over 10 sexual partners but have had zero relationships. I don't care about possibly damaging my chances at any "potential" future relationship - I can't imagine there was ever a chance to begin with. Furthermore, I'm sure in this day and age people's views on this stuff is a lot more relaxed than it used to be, apart from maybe religious folk. But hey, who said I ever wanted to date someone religious? Lol.

    P. S Charlie Sheen is one lucky son of a bitch (apart from the fact that he contracted AIDS as a result, or so I've read).

    • Yeah, AIDS isn't very lucky.

    • @Jamie05rhs True, I was just referring to his life before that happened lol

    • Well, you have to wonder... how did that happen? Lol. That's the point I'm trying to make here.

  • I got a huge slut reputation in my undergrad while being completely celebate the whole year in question. That reputation got me sexually assaulted by three classmates that heard I was easy and I ended up having to withdraw from school until I was separated from my cohort and could start fresh. My attackers faced no consequences.

    Being a good girl did nothing for me and f-ed my life up for a while. I didn't see that option.

    I'm not sure I'm promiscuous but I'm definitely not celebate and no one has tried to rape me in like a decade so I take it as a net positive to diddle who I feel like.

    • You get sexual assaulted?

    • @kim45456 well I did one evening by three classmates I thought were my friends from school. I did get away from them but the disheveled hair and clothing from the struggle was observed as I escaped the room they had confined me. I was crying and a bunch of people saw this ( more alleged friends included) - no one asked about me or came to my aid and rather it got out about me loving rough gang bangs between classes and that I stole other girl's BF's because one of them had a girlfriend. Fuckers - all of them. Kind of commiserate with school shooters tbvh.

    • Omg i am sorry for you! And dont you report them? And i think these days it is not that bad

  • I was very promiscuous and am no longer, it hasn’t ever caused a problem.

  • I don’t know what the standard is to be considered promiscuous, but I definitely made my way around a bit in my younger days. Then I was 27 or 28, thought I was just on “the next one”, but for whatever reason, it just clicked, and here we are, 12 years later, no end in sight👍

    It probably turned off some potential girls along the way, I suppose, although I tried to keep my business fairly low-key. But I guess you could say it eliminated some women as potential partners from the get-go. But in my case it worked out just fine👍

  • Sex in Hs ruined my good girl reputation in Hs but luckily no one in college knew 🤷‍♀️ Had i got caught like my ex then i prob wouldve been on the sex offender list for all the pub sex we had. We got caught by classmates and fam but not the cops. Now i didnget caught by a cop with my second boyfriend but the cop just laughed it off

    • Now i see why you consider talking to someone a nono. I would too if i loved sex that much, because I reckon it wouldn't take long before it comes up in a conversation.

  • I think by the time they settle down to relationships, casual sex will not be a big deal.

    It matters less now than 20 years ago. It Will be less important 20 years from now.

    We will be too busy trying to breath clean in the present to worry about sexual past. 😂😐😐

    In seriousness.. The world is changing all the time. Consensual Sex used to be punishable under the law. Even to death. It is not illegal today but there remains Koch social pressure against it. Especially for Women. This too is changing over time.. think enough people are pushing for sexual freedom (culturally), that it is going to be more and more normalized.. Ultimately, it will I think be very normal. Like hugging and kissing. No big deal now. Scandalous in the past 🙊🙊

    I think there will always be people who disapprove , but very many and more and more will be ok with it. Provided the people are practicing safe sex.

    • Personally , I have never been promiscuous. Physical affection holds no interest to me, outside of love and commitment. But I do not judge it either.

    • So you want to go back to the 70's with the Hippies and Free Love movement? With the hordes of girls getting pregnant each year ( over 1 million) I don't see that as being something good. And face it, the more guys you bang the more your chance of catching something nasty or becoming a mommy.

    • I actually suspect the trend towards greater promiscuity had ended, and is about the be reversed

  • Once a Ho always a Ho? I think it may be 50/50. Half will stay Ho's and the rest will get it out of their system after getting a bunch of STD's or have a kid and settle down. I just don't believe many have a great track record.

    • Do you think the same for man whores too

  • C is definitely me. I was always monogamous with my girlfriends so... not promiscuous, although I had several girlfriends and lots of sex. I don't regret a thing. Practice makes perfect.

  • Never been promiscuous. I don’t understand the appeal tbh.

  • I never knew these terms till I joined gag. I always wanted to have one partner for a life time.
    Not interested in having recreational sex encounters with strangers or friends with benefits.

  • I cannot be promiscuous. I reserve that for someone that I’m in a committed relationship with. It’s the same reason I cannot watch porn and get off on it. It’s nasty. I prefer intimate, long term relationships that lead up to sex. Albeit I’ve only had one sexual relationship. I have been promiscuous only once. That’s how I know it’s not for me. Personal opinion: sex without being in a committed relationship feels like you’re fucking a meat bag rather than another person.
    But again, as you said, neither opinion is correct.

  • Nope.

  • I'm looking forward to marriage and wants to settle for a serious relationship in the future, not just bunches of friends for fun but also my own heaven on earth filled with family warmth.

    If I've ever grown wild in my younger days, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a serious partner who shares my belief. Even smart girls who wants to be serious avoids playboys no matter how rich or pleasant they can be.

  • No but I have a few aunts that were seriously promiscuous in their teens & 20s but have struggled to get good men in their 30s to settle down with. Now they are hitting 40 and over and are still single.
    They'd find a great guy who'd be intrested in them and be getting serious but maybe they'd find out about their promiscuous past.

    • Honestly it's all random: My crew from highschool (now all 36) O - virgin struggles with finding anyone S - pretty slutty but now married D - one boyfriend ever and struggles to find someone K - always in a relationship kinda girl not promiscuous but has a higher number and has not ever gotten to a marriage like state M - good girl but is married for the second time now after getting divorced J - super serious dater with no sex outside relationships - divorced and struggling to meet someone S2 - band groupie with a huge number happily married for the last 8 years.

    • @NaiaDancer no what's happening to my aunt's is that the guy's they be getting serious with find out that they are the village bikes. Nothing random about it, they actually had loads of great guys when they were younger but they thought those guys weren't good enough.

  • I was once dating a girl that I thought was perfect. She a fit a whole lot of the qualities I liked. I ended up giving her my first but literally the morning as afterward she starts telling me of all the sexual encounter she had before me. That she had to have sex weekly, she has had 8 inch dicks in her (she was only 4'9") and that she had sex with a 21 year old when she was 16 and was still having sex with him even when I first met her. That absolutely ruined things and we ended up breaking up s few months later.

    • You break up with her because of her promiscuos life or because she cheats on you?

    • So there was a lot of other stuff that went down but the basic premise was that she had kept that from me for so long and waited to tell me after she had taken my virginity. I had also later found that she still had her apps that she used to trade nudes with strangers, when I had asked her about them she said she didn't know how to delete apps.

    • Oh she lies to you which is the main reason for the break up. T

  • I have been accused of promiscuity given my recent going-ons, but I don't think that's the case.

  • I had one experience outside a relationship. Fortunately, the only thing that came of it was that I learned I don't want to share an intimate act with someone that I don't have feelings for.

  • It started extremely early for me. I was 14 or 15 and ig that's the time when you start being sexual. I did it out of curiosity tho. I had some mental health issues because of how bad things were at home etc... I was sneaking out at night in the nearby football ground to be alone. Met one of my childhood friends there once. We started hanging out and he wanted to try it. It wasn't penetrative sex tho. It did cause me some problems but I didn't do anything of the sort again and it's just history now.

    I only had like real sex 3 years later, months into my current relationship.

  • i was a real player when i was younger and i can't say its followed me into old age but i really need to say one thing on your assumption that this generation are having more casual sex than ever before... its simple not true. sex may be a more talked about issue nowadays but all research shows this generation are the first to be less promiscuous than the previous one

    • Why you think that is?

    • @RetroN many reasons but the main one is social media... you may live a live through the internet but its not like going to a a real social event also some might say young people have less disposible income than previous generations though i was always poor lol

  • I can't relate with promiscuous people.

    • I can't, either. But try being in the minority. People hate you for it. And I don't understand, either, because they're getting all of the pussy and I'm staying out of their way and not competing with them. So why are they mad at me? I'm actually doing them a favor!

    • @Jamie05rhs what?

    • @CubsterShura You're saying you can't relate to them, right? Like you don't understand those girls and they don't understand you? Like there's no connection/ no common ground?
