| Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons Posted: 5/10/2008 1:45:01 PM | Ok that really struck me... Waking up in the morning with someone and hoping they would just leave. That would be it. * Shivers * What a horrible thought.
Thank you, I won't be thinking about casual sex for a while now.

I never said the topic was invalid, I said dumb. I love contributing to dumb subjects sometimes as I am an expert on dumb and I need to keep up with current trends.
I bet this guy isn't getting any. (SEx that is).
Such a gamble would be foolish but you can place your wager and send my winnings directly to my GF's account. | |

| Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons Posted: 11/1/2009 1:39:32 PM | | You go girl! I'm v. interested in these questions, since I have a tendency at certain times in my life to be promiscuous, and I'm confused as to whether that's ok or not. But it's refreshing to see someone who is open about her promiscuity. When talking about this subject, many people seem to have a knee-jerk reaction: sex should be special, etc. etc. Well, who says? Maybe not necessarily, for everyone. Also the threat of being seen as a "slut" may still be a reality, but it still represents a double standard. | |

| Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons Posted: 11/1/2009 1:51:01 PM | Well this is an old thread but .....
I am against it.
It is so ...... umm loose out there (these days) that I stopped dating - right after I started. It was just too difficult to ignore the eager females I encountered.
There was just no reason for sex and it seemed like it was some kind of mission to them. Like sex was just part of the date - any date any guy.
----------------- That was all peachy when I was a kid. The deal was "heat them up" - listen to the "but I am not that kind of a girl" - saying I realize that and going right back to the heat up job at hand.
Not anymore - for me at least.
-----------------
BUT ........
If Diane Lane wanted to do me .......... yes I would no doubt cave in. | |

| Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons Posted: 11/1/2009 1:54:31 PM | Pro: You can do with all of being alive that may include plants... Con: You lose all sentiments. Then you may be just like plants. However, trees in my yard have sentiments. When I water them, they grow up fast.  | |

| Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons Posted: 11/1/2009 2:12:37 PM | I hear you FarmExe....................they don't even clue in to how jaded they become................but we see it.
I sure don't want other people's leftovers. That statement has got me in flamed in the past, but the flaming is worth it. Won't catch me with people who think promiscuity is cool................ Grow some self esteem, and get a real life. | |

I sure don't want other people's leftovers. I'm with moraima on that one ... just YUK.
I just posted in another thread about not even wanting anything to do with men who have FWB's. How do I know when he's dating me that I'm not his next candidate for an FWB? | |

How do I know when he's dating me that I'm not his next candidate for an FWB? When sombody tells in his profile that he is tired of dating sense, he is leftover... When he tells he plays hard, he's reckless of dating... | |

Would you even date someone who has had multiple sexual partners, before you? Like I ever ask how many women my SO ever slept with. I don't care, that is none of my business. It is none of his business how many guys I have slept with too! Having said that, I don't think that all men think that you should have sex early in a relationship. There are men that want a real relationship and want to know you and feel something for you before you jump in bed together. I know I dated enough men here that didn't get a kiss even from me. There are many gentlemen out there.
There are some trans that want to have sex early with guys to find out how they will react. That is just one thing I have heard from a trans about having sex early.
I know that I want to know the guy's parents names and be able to ask about his testing for STD's. To me that means you have to know the guy pretty well. I personally would be disgusted with myself having sex with someone I didn't care about. | |

| Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons Posted: 11/1/2009 2:48:34 PM | I can't think of any pros of promiscuity. It poses a threat to one's emotional and one's physical health.
Physically, you play Russian Roulette with life compromising VD's these days when rubbing privates. Emotionally, I tend to bond with sex as I think many other women do. Bonding with someone who treats you as merely another flavour in the candy box would be a HUGE letdown.
Multiple sex partners before me? At my age, I've had many and I assume that a man my age would have had many also. I couldn't judge another while exonerating myself. Luckily, my wild years were before the Aids virus. | |

Luckily, my wild years were before the Aids virus. and that's what I say when I talk to the younger ones,,, yes I had my fun but the fear of it turning black and falling off wasn't there,,, I've used the term serial monogomist for myself and was told recently that it's bad,,, whatever,,,

| Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons Posted: 11/1/2009 5:03:34 PM | I think at times we forget we set examples for younger people, in my daughter's friends..she just turned 19...most have an STD now...some it is just HPV others it is herpes...they dont even care if they give it to someone else...the one with herpes got it when she was 13, she is 17 now and my daughter stopped allowing her to be around cause she slept with 4 different guys and never told them she had it.
When we were younger the STD were treatable, now they are lethal and life long. | |
|
| Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons Posted: 11/1/2009 5:31:08 PM | this one's easy!
the pro?
there are 2 I can think of right off the bat
#1 having sex!
#2 at this age you likely outlive any sexually transmitted disease you may catch!
win/win really | |

| Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons Posted: 11/1/2009 5:39:11 PM | I don t think you can catch shingles...atleast that is what my doctor said this summer ...he said it is the same type of virus as herpes but from old chicken pox, same medicine to treat both.
He said normally older people get it but lots of stress can cause an outbreak in a younger person. But since I went to him 3 times before he figured it out, he could be wrong...it was just a small patch on my arm but it hurt like heck. | |

I understand the reasoning but how about this: Doctors are students, there's a reason to get "another opinion" from them. Not all are top notch as we all know,,, Herpes as I understand it began with Herpes 1, how did it migrate/mutate into Herpes2? Could it have been the advancement of oral sex during the 60s and 70s and it changed to it's climate becoming Herpes2? Could shingles, since it's a virus do the same thing? I'm glad you decided to point out one of them might not be transmitted by sex but how about the others,,, Are they dangerous enough???

| Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons Posted: 11/1/2009 6:00:27 PM | A few post above yours I pointed out that STD's are both deadly and lifelong...however I don't want someone to confuse having shingles with an STD...there is a difference.
Sigh...I went to my pcp and he said it was the summer time...could be anything but probably a reaction to a bug bite...I went to the derm the next week when it wasnt better...they were equally as clueless based on my age and where it was...finally when I mentioned the awful pain the third week back at the pcp he smacked his head and goes...you have Herpes zoster, shingles! The medicine worked wonders.
Imho for the record there are no pros for Promiscuity it just makes your self esteem less in the long run...the cons are endless. | |
|
| Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons Posted: 11/1/2009 6:20:33 PM | #2 at this age you likely outlive any sexually transmitted disease you may catch! I am scratching my head on this. How can you outlive getting cancer, can you imagine your quality of life getting it (hpv is being shown to be the cause of throat cancers and others now)? I lost someone this year, it was to cancer most likely from smoking, but cancer none the less. Toward the end, she was in so much pain, it was so sad. Talking about pain, herpes is painful, how can you outlive pain??? | |

Lately, our culture seems to be embracing the concept of multiple partners and people exploring their options. Sexual promiscuity seems to be the norm, rather than the exception. Hmmm...must be why I've chosen to become a Born Again Virgin! I love "sex"..but I love "making love" even more. I would much rather save myself for the next man whom I want to "make love with"...not just have sex with. {Especially since I'm capable of having great "sex" all by myself!}

| Promiscuity ~~ Pros and Cons Posted: 11/2/2009 6:23:49 AM | | STDs are a risk, but the biggest cons to me are the lying, juggling and manipulation needed to manage such a sex life. Really, it takes too much of a toll. Better to find a friendly woman that is happy to be with you on a regular basis and get on with the other things in life besides chasing down a sex partner. | |

Ron I myself just recently found myself at the same point as you were and for the very same reasons. However I am really trying not to talk myself out of it now because if I was to stop dating that would be just giving up.
I am just not a quitter by nature.
