Is promiscuity wrong?

[davy]

it can be unhealthy when considering the manner in which it's done.

but never wrong.

 

[bankside]

It is quite possibly a waste of time.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

Often times it's used as a means of quieting an underlying issue.

As long as it's healthy and PROTECTED it makes me no nevermind.

 

[saymyname]

Nope. If it's consensual, go for it. Try and be safe, have fun, do yr thang. It's your body. Anyone saying otherwise is just reaching back to christian morality.

I am not promiscuous...


I just have very, very short relationships...

I am a very friendly guy...when I am horny.

Promiscuity, IMO, is a lot like overeating…it shows poor impulse control, and often is done to compensate for something else. When you make a habit out of arbitrarily overindulging in anything (sex, food, gambling, etc.) it quickly turns into an addiction. Calling it ‘wrong’ sounds judgmental, but I wouldn’t call it ‘right.’

addiction comes from dependency; not frequency.

I'm quite promiscuous I'll be honest, but I don't have to be. It's fun and I play it safe and look after myself. So while I could live without being promiscuous, if I tried hard enough I could find a boyfriend or even live without either I expect, I wouldn't have as much fun.

 

[davy]

Codependency is often born out of frequency/habit.

codependency is a learned behavior that develops by living with those with addictions or other codependents.

It's not for me, but as they say, "to each, their own."

 

[openthedark]

I do feel that it "isn't right." For me. It depends on the person, their beliefs, and values. I wouldn't give a blanket answer because what's right or wrong for me (in this particular case) is not the same for everyone else.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

Codependency is often born out of frequency/habit.

You can have frequency without codependency/habit.

 

[sixthson]

Yes, it's wrong.

Depends on the time frame. 10 guys in 10 days, I wouldn't say anything; 10 guys in 10 hours... SLUT!

 

[Seasoned]

Each person decides for themselves. We are all different. When we are in conflict with our own belief system, or when we have remorse or expect a different outcome after repeating the same behavior we need to look at the possibility of addiction.

The "sexual hunt" is a part of our gay culture. It's always been there. That is why , in this day, with full knowledge of what promotes AIDS, we still have gay bar pick-ups, bath houses, adult book stores with glory holes, and clandestine sex going on public places.

Back in the day, some men claimed to have an "open relationship," that is having a boyfriend at home, but having sex with multiple partners outside of that relationship. I believe that this also still exists.

Lots of Jubbers have read about my "slut puppy days." After the death of my Vincent, I didn't give a damn, and I wasn't about to commit myself and be hurt again. I had lots of sex with lots of guys for about ten years. That all changed when I committed to Dave. But within that time, I did go and have myself tested from time to time. Thank goodness, I never had anything to worry about.

Now that I am single again, I could never go back to that lifestyle. It was fine when I was in my mid-20's, but not for a man on the other side of 40. I've grown up a lot, and I know a lot more then I did back then.

I can't make a judgment whether it is right or wrong because every person is different. Every situation is different. It's not anything that I would choose to do anymore, but that doesn't mean that it may not be right for somebody else.

same here. don't get me wrong, i wish i were.

 

[bankside]

Depends on the time frame. 10 guys in 10 days, I wouldn't say anything; 10 guys in 10 hours... SLUT!

Hell, ten guys in ten years and I'd call slut. But I'm old-fashioned that way.

 

[yeeeaaahhh]

To each his own. If you are happy sleeping around a lot, then go for it. If you are happy with having one partner your whole life, then there you go! Do what is right for you.
However, I think that no matter what you do, you need to do it wisely. Use protection, get tested regularly, don't lie about anything, and don't put anyone else at risk.
There's my opinion.
