I agree. When I was younger, I was very promiscuous....but never while in a serious relationship or marriage. However, it is possible that if a person is prone to being promiscuous, that they are less likely to totally give themselves to the whole commitment concept which is why they are in and out of so many relationships.

Now that I'm older, I can look back and see where the only person I was ever committed to was myself. When it was no longer good for ME...then I left the relationship without regard to the promises I had made early on. Too bad I didn't have that revelation when I was 20 or 30 or 40.

What's promiscuous? Having lots of sex with different people? Or "pump and dump"? They're NOT the same thing. One can have lots of sex and not treat people poorly (i.e. "pump and dump").

^^That. Yes, I would date someone who had sex with lots of different people. As long as he is disease-free, treats people well, and is willing to be exclusive, his vast sexual experience can only be seen as an advantage.

Of course not. I would have to have a little more proof. But if I knew they were promiscuous yes it would be a serious turn off for me. I value sexual exclusivity and see promiscuity as a sign of being unable to commit and as I said emotional detachment.

Sex to me has always come with strings attached.


I could not care less what people do in the bedroom and whom with but I don't see why I should drop my moral values for my own sexual partner.

I am not a prude, my husband was not a virgin when I met him and I did not expect him to be. I would however have certainly not been impressed had I found out he had hopped from bed to bed for one night stands.

I love sex but I prefer it with feelings and emotions. I would expect my sexual partner to have the same values.


I need to respect the man I sleep with. It seems to be my prerogative especially if I am to sleep with them which to me is the ultimate commitment.

Not only that, but to me a lot of promiscuous men seem to have a lack of control over their "desires". Many of these men will cite biology as an excuse to behave like a common alley cat.

I would like my partner to be a little more discriminating.

Please define what you mean by "promiscuous."

Promiscuous women are more passionate. But, anyone who suffers from low self-esteem should avoid promiscuous people.

Only if you are promiscuous while in a relationship.

Would I date a promiscuous person if I was single?

Hmmm, probably not. I like my sex without condoms.

J/K. I'm in a mischevious mood today.

Just because I'm a horny woman, doesn't mean I'll cheat on you. If you don't do it for me, I'll just leave you and find someone else who will.
