Does the promiscuity of modern society bother you?

I think it's yet another one of those things that's been the same throughout history and people just "think" it's worse now. The only truth to that might be that we are living less isolated lives, we live in larger towns/cities and can travel and communicate more, so we have access to more partners in a lifetime. But the basic human nature has always been the same.

I voted yes only because of the consequences of a promiscuous culture. A rampant out-of-wedlock birth rate and the resulting outrageous cost to the taxpayers. A 60% divorce rate for first marriages in the USA, much of it due to adultery. Until we grow up and view sex as a loving act for a married couple to bond their relationship and create children that they will raise together and not just another recreational sport,then the situation will only get worse.

OUt idea of promiscuity has changed. You can see in pre-contact cultures and some tribal cultures that nudness is not considered promiscuity - it is considered normal.

^Good answer

I couldn't have said it better myself. If you look at the Romans they were much more promiscuous than us humanoids in the modern age so this idea that we're becoming more depraved is lunacy.

It has not changed, not for men.

After the Sexual Revolution in the 1960s, the rate of pre-maritial sex did rise, but only for women. The reason: women were not treated as equals until this point and the Sexual Revolution coincided with the Feminist movement.

I can imaging that this increase in female sexual activity has pissed off a lot of male chauvinists. Fuck them, I say!

I actually like it better. I have noticed, it kinda goes back and forth. I dont like the whole victorian prudish attitude about sex, but Im not exactly supportive of someone who goes with as many people as possible.

I think so. 12 year olds wearing skirts that wouldn't cover them if they bent over, old men in thongs at the beach, skimpy and tight as hell shirts, little girl bikinis, 10 year old thongs.

Ok, just a few of my thoughts on the matter.
First of all just setting some guide lines. Just for now lets say that the sex we are talking about is consensual, the age of consent in my country is 16, lucky us. So we aren't talking about underage sex or rape. The second thing, lets assume that it is protected sex, because the dangers of unprotected sex are not exclusively linked to young society. Anyone who is sexually active can get diseased no matter what their age is.
I believe that too much importance has been placed upon the concepts of virginity to begin with. If you are a virgin, you're a prude, if you aren't you're a slut. I do not believe that sex should be saved for marriage; I think it's an archaic and oppressive belief. I don’t have any problem with people who want to save themselves for marriage, just don’t push it on me, I don’t force you to HAVE sex so don’t tell me that I can't.
The thing that really grills me is that sex is viewed as such an ugly thing, especially if you're a girl. But let me let you in on a little secret…. Sex is great. Sex is fun and awesome and (if you use protection) not the most awful thing for kids (of consent age) to be doing. Its sad that it has been put into the same category as drugs and such. Yes, abortion is a debatable issue, yes teen pregnancy is an issue, yes HIV is an issue. But all of those are up to YOU to be responsible.
I do believe that sex is something to people who love each other do, but I have to admit that I have slept with people I didn’t love. There is no logical reason that sex should be a totally prudish concept, in its very nature sex is sexy. If two consenting people decide to have sex, it is no one else's place to judge them. If I WANT to have sex with however many different people, because I enjoy it and its fun and what not, who are you to tell me that I am wrong.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT BEFORE SEX WASENT SUCH A QUICK RESORT. YOU KNOW AT A POINT IN THIS CULTURE SEX WASENT BAD BUT IT WASENT SUCH A PROBLEM AS IT IS KNOW.IF I WAS TO BLAME promiscuity ON ANYTHING I WOULD BLAME IT ON THE MEDIA AS FAR AS TV,MUSIC,MOVIES.YOU KNOW WHEN YOU TURN ON THE CHANNEL SEX IS ALMOST THE FIRST THING YOU SEE. AND
promiscuity HAS GOTTEN SO LUSTFUL TO THE POINT WHERE ITS SEEMS THE MEDIA IS PROMOTING HOMOSEXUALITY. AND ITS NOT THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT ITS JUST THAT IT SEEMS THAT LUST HAS TAKEN OVER THE WORLD

Its kind of annoying how im never invited to sexy orgies. Other than that I dont mind.

Kinda had to google promiscuity but yeah, I guess.

What bothers me more is that people thing there is such a thing as promiscuity and demonise it. If sex TRULY WAS meant to be for "loving" {LOL!) and "meaningful" {LMFUCKINGAO!!} "marriage", then why do you think people would want to have a clue what to do in bed before then?!?

Obviously, sex should not be sold to young kids... but I think the age of consent needs lowering in the UK.

A lot of people who are against promiscuity don't know about how to do it responsibly (Everyone should be of legal age, clean, not too out of it to consent and OPEN to communication).

I should also add that this "promiscuity" being talked about means that, should someone decide to marry, they either have a clue what to do in bed or are capable of teaching their partner what to do.

If at least one person in a relationship is sexually clueless - especially if they're unwilling to even try anything new - then it leads to boredom and frustration on the part of the other pertner and/or them. The bored, frustrated ones find someone else in the hope that the other person actually has a clue what to do.

Then there are accusations of being 'cheated on' [when really, there's no such thing], the situation is made awful, both parties get angry and upset at each other and either leave or end up having to divorce.

THIS is why you should ideally not 'saveyourself for "mariage"'.

sexy penises on my face

Yes. I've been cheated on and given an STI. It sucks.

Im more bothered by the fact its pushed so much and pretty much demanded now. I also hate the fact that since its now the norm you cant say "No I just don't want to sleep with anyone till I am married" without being mocked or accused of being a Christian. After which you are laughed at and the crowd joins in saying what a stupid christian you are and that you need to get laid. Since when was that a choice of the public? So yeah I hate watching slutty bitches pick on the quiet shy girl since she hasn't gotten any yet. I find people like this disgusting. I also hate when chicks are loud and obnoxious and running around saying "Oh I slept with all these guys I slept with" all day to everyone.

Let's put it this way: I'm a man, and not once in my entire life has a woman who said "yes" to me, said yes to hanging out, getting to know one another, establishing a connection, seeing what happens. Every single "yes" I ever got in my life was yes to having intercourse that very instant. And be sure I've done everything I could possibly attempt in order to get different results. It's not like every woman I've ever met was a drunk whore at a club. To the contrary, I put all my efforts in meeting women during the day, in average situations. But it doesn't make any difference. And yes, it is kind of a problem.

Mainly I don't like the way the internet cruelly stole my innocence.

humans were made for sex....no other animal is all soft skin....and then our upright posture took our reproductive organs and took them out of hiding and placed them out front...and our upright posture created butts...which is our largest muscle...and then gave us really sensitive and manipulative hands and to top it off we are the only animal that has no breeding season...we are always in a breeding season...sex is designed to bind us together as a social animal...however, promisciuty is usually caused by a lack of hugging and healthy touch when we are young..cold parents...cold society....

Yes.

Yes.
I see it being promoted and I am not sure why.

With a little imagination it seems possible that three things are linked in a conspiracy: promiscuity, ease of divorce and promotion of the government as the answer to all problems.

If this is the case, and I am not entirely sure it is just yet, it seems that an active force is out to erode and destroy the family as a unit where children grow up, learn and are taught the lessons of life, learn an ideology and learn how to be productive citizens. Why? To change attitudes, ideologies, political beliefs and mroals in a manner that the said government wishes, whatever they might be. Why? perhaps control; utter complete and total domination and control. This is an increasingly hypothetical situation and it is just a conspiracy theory. I am not sure if I believe all of it.

But I see promiscuity is to blame for the rise in STD's and the breakdown and erosion of the family as a unit for raising children.

Its always been there. Society just hasnt been as open towards it as it is now.

Humans are promiscuous in nature. Look back through all cultures and you will find mistresses, adultery from all types, hell you'll even see in some cultures where older people introduced younger people to sex, that was considered normal. Especially in cultures that find importance in sex and mediation combined. it was very normal to teach a young person how to have sex the "right" way, to communicate, they were like this person's mentor until they were ready to have sex with someone their own age. Something I learned about in a human sexuality course in college within the last year... In my opinion, it is important to do what you find "natural" to yourself. You'd never want to deprive yourself of what your body needs. As for the promiscuous part.. My great grandparents were married and having children by 15!! The difference is that in todays culture, it is not normal to be married so young, young adults are expected to finish high school, go to college, and start a career and then marry. Where as even 100 years ago.. that was not the case. Or even not marry ever in today's culture. I know I'm worried about marrying someone and getting divorced a few years later!! Just not worth all the paperwork, when cohabitation is so welcomed in the U.S now.

Peace & Free Love.

Yeah this promiscuity we have is pretty trouble some. You don't have to be married to have sex, you have it when you feel you're emotionaly ready. (and willing to accept resposibility if something goes wrong)if you're not ready then don't do it! sex isn't a sport. It's something that effects your emotional and physical wellbeing. And GOD just how many times are we going to have to deal with stars turning into sluts for profit! it's so annoying!

I WOULD SAY THAT SEX FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE HAS BECOME A GAME AND NOT REALLY A REAL SINCE OF LOVE. AND SO MANY ABUSE SEX AND BREAK DOWN ITS TRUE MEANING.
WHEN YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO ARE MATURE AND WILLING TO SHARE YOUR BODY THE RIGHT WAY( NOT SAYING YOU HAVE TO BE MARRIED) THEN THATS COOL. BUT WHEN YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP THEN YEAH, THAT'S MESSED UP.

yes it does but its not anything new its just that nowadays theres more platforms to express exesive sexuality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It bothers me that girls can have little self respect. I wouldn't sleep with as many people/wear as provocative clothing as a lot of other people my age. (I'm 18)

We're winning!

Interesting answers. I am surprised that the votes seem to be split almost 50/50 (as of this posting). It seems there are more than I previously thought who view sex as something more than a meaningless recreation.

i thrive on the depravity

There isn't anything objectively wrong with it, aside from the higher chance of spreading diseases.

In general, I don't really approve of promiscuity, but I respect anyone's right to do so. Depending on how someone goes about their sexual relations with people, it can say something about their character. For the most part I am quite monogamous, so I naturally tend to like people who are more like I am. Though just because I've been very monogamous doesn't mean I'm not perverted as hell.

Sex is great, and people should be allowed to have consenting sex with anyone they want. But on a subjective basis, I can see someone being promiscuous going about it recklessly. If someone I knew was fucking several random people a day, people who I consider to be quite trashy, I just might think less of that friend. But if someone I knew had lots of flings, slept around with decent people, and used the proper protection, I wouldn't have much of a problem.

Promiscuity isn't right. It isn't wrong, either. I'm not particularly fond of the notion that there is somehow something wrong with you if you have not slept with X amount of women as is apparent in some social circles. I couldn't care less how many people someone has slept with so long as it was always consentual.
