Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons
Posted: 4/21/2008 6:08:27 AM
Question or Discussion
Do you see the picture to the left? It is black and white for me.

OP>>
So, the question is:
What are the pros and cons of being promiscuous? No Pros, No Cons -Just Consequences
Is it wise or even practical to be promiscuous? Wisdom is earned, not practically learned.
Would you date and have sex with someone who is dating others and having sex with them, as well? Not knowingly, if I am deceived, Pity.
Would you even date someone who has had multiple sexual partners, before you? Is there a card carrying virgin in here?

End of Questioning.

Even if there was, I can't hardly imagine being the one to deflower her. Even when I was young, the idea of a virgin was not something I found appealing. I well remember my own deflowering. It was hardly memorable for my partner at the time. The very idea of a virgin at our age would raise all kinds of questions in my mind, and I can think of few answers that I would find comfortable.

OMG Mr. R! Sorry but I am so laughing at your last statement!
No, fumbling at our age along with major hysteria at the thought of "the first time" is not appealing in any shape or form!

What are the pros and cons of being promiscuous?


Pros? absolutely none

Cons? I think we all know those. Diseases, reputations.


Is it wise or even practical to be promiscuous?


No, nor was it ever wise or practical.


Would you date and have sex with someone who is dating others and having sex with them, as well?


No. I don't like sharing.



Would you even date someone who has had multiple sexual partners, before you?


That would depend on when. If I met someone who has slept with 100 women in the past year .........

Well, we are waiting, AW......

If the guy is my age, I would think the bald demonstration of virility should excite the fancy oaf any woman. How many guys our age would be up to that kind of a challenge, after all?

Ok, so I exaggerated. LOL Maybe not 100, seeing the age of the men...I guess what I mean, if someone is sleeping with a different woman every week or so...for the past year.. I know.. sounds exciting doesn't it rearguard?

OK, now I'm tongue tied!!!

In my case, its more like 1 per month as a wildest case scenario. That is all the excitement the old heart can take... Takes me longer to recover than it used to take.

Oh my Mr. R! You are an active feller now aren't you?
Promiscuity? Can that also include the simple "thought" process in the mind? Does it really have to be a "physical" thing? I wanna have some pros and cons too dangit all!!!

Do you mean, Moon, that as I sit here in the sweet reverie of imagining caressing the gentle curve of your body, contemplating the exquisite form of your breast, savoring the sweet taste of your lips and enjoying the delicious anticipation of our union, that I am being promiscuous, simply because I have the same thoughts about some of the other ladies on POF?

No, if it doesn't have to be physical, I would be terrible slut.....javascript:smilie('')

If promiscuity includes what I imagine in my head, I'm a bad girl.

If promiscuity can happen just from what one thinks, I think this gal could be in a lotta trouble!
Now...just where was I before I read Mr. R's thought for the day? Oh yes, gettin ready for work. *sigh*

Wondering? Or wandering?

Are you wondering about the possibilities of other explorations of the physical delights, or are your thoughts wandering down paths the direction of which I intimated earlier?

If the former, just to let you know, kinky has its limits for me, if the latter, may I suggest that some exercises in purity of thought will stand you well before heading to the office....

Do people our age actually consider, (let alone even think about), living a life of promiscuity?


Why not? I'm sure there are lots of people our age that are just out of LTR that would enjoy experimenting with something new. Doesn't one do this at some point in their life? Why is it to be reserved for younger people? And we must not forget the 'players' = they come in all ages! Just because I'm not into casual sex, doesn't mean that I feel its wrong if people our age are into it.

Is it wise to be promiscuous? Probably not...but one can still be somewhat promiscuous and be choosey in who they sleep with eventhough they may have lots of partners.

Would I date or have sex with someone who was dating or having sex with others?
I would date them, so long as they were only DATING others, not sleeping with them. I would never knowingly sleep with someone if they were sleeping with others - period. How can sex be meaningful if they are sharing themselves with others? I don't share well...whether it be my toys or my boys....I mean boy toys...no ....you know what I mean.

I'm not ansering the other 2 questions because my opinion pretty much matches everyone else's.

...Guilty as charged...I have on occasion, wondered/wandered into forbidden territory as far as my thoughts go....but as you stated, no one is the wiser....even he is unsuspecting as I nibble on the corner of his mouth.

It may surprise you to learn that the attentive male can, indeed, detect when a woman's thoughts are not completely captivated by his attentions. Just as the wandering mind in a male can result in a certain flagging of his ardor, so the woman's body will react to her thoughts, resulting in a number of phenomena that become apparent to the man. Only the very skilled in the arts of love can disguise the wandering mind sufficiently to keep the other blinded to the fact.

And, of course, once noticed, the reflection of these wandering thoughts results inevitably in the change from making love to having sex.

So, have care, ladies. To those of us who have some experience in life, you are to us an open book....

Because some people can't think of anything else to discuss but sex. It gives them someone to look down their nose at.


What people choose to discuss and post for discussion is there own perogative, as long as they follow forum posting rules. If another does or does not choose to participate in the discussion, that is their perogative, as well. If a poster thinks a question or a topic is stupid, then why are they posting? Just to be negative?
Have the powers of POF made Mackevinized a Moderator? Obviously not, the topic and questions remain.

Not a mod here I just stated an opinion.
And yes, I think there can be stupid questions too.

I guess had I qualified everything I say with JMHO the confusion about stating opinions would be cleared up a bit.

"Would you date and have sex with someone who is dating others and having sex with them, as well?
Would you even date someone who has had multiple sexual partners, before you?

To play or not to play, that is the question......my apologies to Mr. Shakespeare."

The question of someone dating others and having sex with them is completely different than multiple partners. If you are between 45-50 you almost assuredly have had multiple partners. I mean come on! Did you grow up in a monastery (nunnery) ?

Women open up to sex to find love. Men find love while having sex. It sounds trite but it is true. Men and women approach this subject from opposite points of view.

There is nowhere better to observe that than on POF. Women want the laundry list of great attributes a man would have, and if a guy is smart enough to convince you he has those attributes he probably has 4 other women as well.

What are the pros and cons of being promiscuous?

“Pros” get paid for it.
“Cons” got paid for it and have been convicted for that and have then served time.

Is it wise or even practical to be promiscuous?

“Wise or even practical “? That sounds a wee bit like the old
“When did you stop beating your ....ummm...wife?”


Would you date and have sex with someone who is dating others and having sex with them, as well?

At the same time? As in six or eight people in the same bed ? No, I’ll pass. Crowds scare me.
I am weird. I do not like to date more than one person at a time, much less sleep with more than one
person at a time. IF i met someone who was dating and having sex with multiple partners, i would judge whether to get involved on multiple criteria. What the OP asks would be considered along with
to many other aspects of this persons personality to list here. Yes, it would be a factor, but by no means the only factor.

Would you even date someone who has had multiple sexual partners, before you?


“Even” ? This does sound like a “Push-Pull” survey.
At my age, i assume that the majority of people i will/ might date have had multiple sex partners.
I just don’t care.
We have long threads here about “The Number”, when to admit to yours, what mens
“really mean”, what math one uses to figure out a womans “real number”, what Jebus thinks of those who “stray”, how many stones one should use to punish women who “sleep around” and dozens of other “interesting hobbies”. For me, I again, simply do not care. If i didn’t even know a woman at age 28, why should i worry about what or who she was doing at that age ? If i find myself in a relationship, I assume i may have the right to be concerned about what happens from the point it begins towards the future, but what gives me the right to dictate her past ?

Yes, if that past involves a German Shepard, a live video with big numbers on UTube, or a blue dress and the Oval Office, I might wish to have a a discussion or two, but is there anyone out there
without a spare thigh bone, if not a complete skeleton, in their closet ? If it doesn't involve sex,
it might be a small off-shore account, a strange spot in the garden where the flowers grow VERY large, an unexplainable tendency to cry when the Bay City Rollers comes on the radio, or (gasp)
a voting record that reveals two votes for anyone named "Bush". We all make mistakes, yes ?
