Why is promiscuity frowned upon? (Page 2)

Question

I’ve noticed posts from guys and girls hating on promiscuous people, especially women, as if having a lot of sex is somehow immoral. As long as you’re using protection, being honest about your intentions, and respecting professional and legal boundaries, what’s the problem? I’m not saying everyone should sleep around if they’re not comfortable with it, but why criticize people who do? Plenty of people have religious and cultural rules that prohibit premarital sex and things like that; that’s fine and I respect your decision. However, it doesn’t seem like a good enough reason to demonize someone because they don’t follow YOUR customs. I think we should have more respect for other people’s lifestyles.

Other than fulfilling the itch, how does promiscuity benefit anyone? That would be an easier list than listing all the negative aspects of promiscuity, there was a comment here where the person left stats, if you seriously don't get it by now you probably never will.

I don't wish harassment for promiscuous people who have never hurt or betrayed anyone.

You right. Society is filled with a bunch of clueless people who get off on judging other people who live there live. Honestly, if I had to diagnose is, it would be considered a very serious mental illness condition! No one cares if you have the feelings against people that have sex, keep that shit too yourself and keep to yourself. Don’t push that poison and negativity on me

I used to know a guy whose ex would go on and off with him because of his past relationships with women. She was very religious. He was a nice sweet guy really kind of religious himself. Every break up she said his past bothered her. He used to take her back she would just break it off again.
She would get jealous when he got with someone else, and would constantly text him about her feelings.

I think there are 2 types of people: those who have sex outside of marriage and those who don't. I don't think any less of a girl who sleeps with 100 guys before the age of 25 than I do of a girl who only has sex with one or two that she's not married to.

Dark93 · Answer

If anything promiscuity is completely natural. Many animals mate with dozens of different mates throughout their life, because in an animals case it's for survival of the species.

Human on the other hand have a steadily growing and massive population and sex is rarely for mating anymore, replaced by being a fun distraction. I think that's where people have a problem with it.

bklynbadboy1 · Answer

you have to understand that we live in a world where people like to judge others. it's just that I don't think the world is really ready for a woman that's truly empowered and knows what she wants and that's why when a woman tends to have a few partners people look at her crazy but a guy can do it without anybody saying anything

Pamina · Answer

People just love to judge anything and everything that they personally feel uncomfortable with. P. S.: I like your way of thinking. You sound mature for a 16 year old.

Anon-ymous1 · Answer

I think you mean promiscuity for *girls,* and why is it frowned upon. And the answer is evolutionary biology.

Though this is the true and correct answer, people simply don't like it so they say that it's wrong.

LuWe22 · Answer

It's frown upon because It's not desirable in a partner. I would not want to be with someone with a high number. Risk of STDs and health risks.

Skateranon · Answer

Well most guys in particular frown upon it because they don't want a woman that has slept with everyone and everyone. I'm sure there is women like that as well.

There is also religion which we all know can make some people crazy and judgmental.

in my opinion once someones used to sleeping around they are less likely to stay with one person. i read an article stating that the likelihood of someone getting married goes down each time they have sex. male or female. and plus even if they are wrong. i wanna date someone that if i was in a room id be the only one who has seen her naked. and girls should feel the same. you would feel bad if your with someone and at a party knowing half the girls there have slept with him

Anonymous · Answer

Most people would prefer their partner doesn't have a huge body count. It may be an indication of their ability to stay in a monogamous long term relationship. It tends to indicate some combination of 1) low standards, 2) inability or lack of interest to stay in a long term relationship, or 3) likelihood of cheating. None of those things are good for most people.

mark1290 · Answer

promiscuous men and women are simply not level headed... why do these opinions only focus on the promiscuity of the opposite sex? it’s equally bad for men and women to sleep around

giovannimontolivo · Answer

Only men should sleep around. That is because a key that opens many doors is a master key, but a lock that can be opened by many keys is a shitty lock.

Berethor · Answer

It's hard to be truly neutral about it, personally I rather not date a slut, and no it's not only because of religious and cultural rules, it's also because sluts are untrustworthy.

JP_Man · Answer

Actually I believe that deep down we want as many partners as possible. As mammals our purpose is to reproduce our species. I think it is shamed due to the fact that average humans are not actually genetically good enough to get it so much. As you said if this is protected and respectful nothing is wrong with it.

ROCKS128 · Answer

The good culture always gives you good advice. And it has real good reasons solely for our benefits!
If you can't understand that, you come and speak up things like this. Respecting is not atall a matter!
Use your brains.

MissGee212 · Answer

I say live and let live. If it's not harming you in any way, then don't concern yourself with the way others choose to live their lives. That is the beauty of free will.

Kkaos · Answer

I would never date a woman who's slept around, but I'm not going to demonize her for it as it's none of my business.

Kiran04 · Answer

Because humans are pair bonding animals, and promiscuity is the anti-thesis to that. Promiscuity is disruptive to pair bonding, and with our wider range of emotions and cognitive function than other pair bonding animals it's even more so.

Its always girls who support promiscuity... over and over.. then at the end is always like "naw i dont do it" LMFAO THEN YOU SEE A REASON TO IT BEING WRONG

latinabutterfly96 · Answer

Because it can be risky. Mostly due to STDs, pregnancy, and obviously if the person is cheating on her/his partner.  Other than that, safe sex is perfectly okay in my opinion.

Gambit3 · Answer

I guess people are too puerile to continue to live in their cocoon of a state of dogma they were brought up in...

Because none of those things are met. They rarely use protection, they aren't honest aviht their intentions, and have no regard for legal boundaries at all.

CaptRob · Answer

Although I believe that everyone should be able to do whatever they want as consenting adults, promiscuity is a very accurate predictor of future relationship problems for women.

You're generalizing based on certain people's opinions. It's a loaded question where you either draw people to boost your ego and tell you everything you do is perfect, or to provoke people who actually believe this into attacking you and making you look like a victim.

It's a public health crisis. Contact your local center for disease control and you'll be horrified by the statistics concerning STDs.

TheUglyMan · Answer

Lol most men would never get into a serious relationship with a slut. Girls know this which is why they'll lie about their lay count or say "leave the past in the past"

thebigc · Answer

I think the reasons are usually religious or medical. In my case, I discourage it because the risk of disease or pregnancy can impact health or future fertility.

nasty4fun · Answer

Well it's the connection they have with cheaters. Promiscuity it's self is not the bad thing it's the promiscuity during the relationship that hurts. People tend to hate one because of the other.

Because that's is how you get, and spread, STDs. Get pregnant, causing more people to be born or having to take responsibility / punishment for you not being able to keep it in your pants.

Promiscuity is frowned upon by those who secretly wish they could be promiscuous too. They beat you over the head with their unacknowledged frustration. Think Paul McCartney wrote a song about it...
