My sons had the radio on in the car and a song came on talking about a promiscuous girl and a promiscuous boy. I asked my boys if they would prefer to have their own toothbrush or one that everyone can share. They liked the idea of having their own toothbrush.

Just wondering how the City Data Forum world feels about this. Is it better to be virtuous or better to be promiscuous?

Ha! I like the toothbrush analogy.

What's the benefit of being promiscuous?

I can think of a lot of risks. Just because you have a lot of experience doesn't' mean you're necessarily better in the sack.

Well, if those two choices are the extremes, then I'd say somewhere in between, which is where most people appear to be, anyway.

I am sure that the analogy would change if your choice in partners happens to change. Lets say thru divorce or something. Still lets say that you have 2 people in a committed relationship. Isn't it better to just stay committed? I have been married for a long time and have been with just my wife. Maybe I am an acception or something.

It is better to be both.

So heavenly bound that you're no earthly good.

i prefer not to share women. but women will share themselves. that's why its good to make sure you know who you're getting involved with long term.

Can you explain "share themselves"...are you referring to dating/sleeping with multiple people at the same time?

I've never done that. I'm married now but when I was dating it was always one person at a time. If we weren't a good match we parted ways and eventually I'd find a new person that I wanted to get to know.

Not all women share themselves however, you make it sound like it's absolute.

To answer the OP's question...I definitely prefer a virtuous person. I'm not too interested in anyone who is promiscuous. There is no benefit to a relationship with a promiscuous person for me personally.

I like how this thread implies that one cannot be both virtuous and promiscuous at the same time.

Virtuosity, like anything dealing with morals, is not and can not be an absolute.

Oh, and if I was in dire straights without a tooth brush, I'd happily share one with a close friend.

Promiscuous, because this is a horribly worded post.

Let me try: Would you rather have Cancer or no cancer?
