I think if you’re George Clooney, you can get away with sleeping with 50 women. But if you’re an over-the-hill banjo-playing alcoholic, well then it just becomes ‘unseemly’.
So if you’re good looking it’s okay to have multiple partners. Than I’m okay, on your standards I might be a prostitute but that’s fine because I’m good looking…

Ahaha okay than…
I was going to write a lengthy response to this but am feeling lazy.
In short, the answer to your question depends upon if the promiscuity results in an excessive number of offspring.
As long as the person takes proper precautions to ensure that an unwanted child is not created, no harm is done. Due to the planet’s overpopulation of humans, pollution is a major threat to current and future generations.

Í 100% agree with you.
I suppose that there are two things about the fixation on sexual purity that bother me. The first wasn’t at issue in the comments yesterday - that this is usually a double standard, that men are praised or excused for having many sexual partners, while women are condemned. That’s probably the thing that jars me the most, that it’s a method of controlling women, through fear of being perceived as a “s/lut” or shamed once they are perceived that way. I’ve noticed a lot of men who feel that virginity is very important aren’t virgins themselves. I even saw someone say that men were incapable of being virgins, that the concept didn’t even apply to them.
I’m a little more comfortable with people who value sexual purity across the board, for men and women. I don’t agree with it, but at least it’s not as obvious a method of control - I think, “We have different priorities in life,” rather than, “This person is invested in establishing and maintaining a dominant class and a subclass amongst humans based on gender.”
But me, personally? I just don’t think it’s very important. I don’t think that, by itself, it has any bearing on anyone’s moral character or fitness to have an opinion, especially on something unrelated. Like any behavior, it can be an indicator of something else in the personality - that the person sees no value in other humans beyond sexual gratification and rarely sees reason to relate to them beyond that, or that the person sees no value in themselves and routinely offers themselves up to other people as a means of placating them - and that they might benefit from addressing that. But just the fact that they’ve had many partners, or have had none? It doesn’t say a lot about someone. People live, they have experiences, they learn and grow.

Just to be known, I’m not attacking your beliefs, but I’m wondering if you could explain what’s the logic behind your statements…? You know, what is rational in ‘more partners=less person’ principe?
And I’m also very curious what @notmoses thinks about this. Is there anything “pathological” behind excessive sexual activities. ?
And why is society so intimidated by the women who are too much of… a body?
It’s a double standard both ways. Men that have not had a lot of sexual experience are shamed, while women without much sexual experience are seen as virtuous.
A man past his early 20’s would be better off saying that he was infected with HIV than admitting he was a virgin.
All of these attitudes are based upon outdated ideas that were relevant prior to the 20th century and the invent of birth control.

I believe 10 partners for a man/woman is okay over the span of adulthood…
I always tell my daughters, “You’ll have to kiss a few frogs before you find your Prince.”
When you start hitting the 50 mark, I think there is a serious underlying problem going on there.
I have to disagree there… The only thing I disagree there actually.
I feel that it says a lot, about how one views him or her self essencially. But it depends, if its a self destructive path, like mine was, or if its a fulfilling path, leading to good adventures (like some of mine were). I believe having a prosmiscuos life style often includes self-destructive behaviour. I don’t want to generalize here, not all cases are like that.

I think I should have said, by itself, it doesn’t say a lot about someone. If we took everyone here, wrote their name and the number of people they’d slept with on a piece of paper and someone who knew nothing about any of us picked up a piece of paper - if it said, “Rhubot, 0” or “Rhubot, 8” or “Rhubot, 93”, they’re really not much better off than if it had just said “Rhubot”. Context matters.

Well, you are, too! In context, it can say a lot.

Context is everything for everything.
Not sure that even makes sense but it sounds right in my tiny mind so I’ll go with it.

How would I know someone is promiscuous if they kept their mouth shut and their lives discrete?

You would know by the number of hairs they have, less than a million promiscuous, more than a million not promiscuous

You know who are the people I really respect?
Those ones who live under certain system of rules which they obey (like religion) but they are still capable to respect others who are outside of their system and have totally opposite sets of beliefs and behaviours. Because those folks know that the others have as much rights to be treated as humans and that they are not less humans because they are different.
But those folks are few of a kind.
