sexual promiscuity




promiscuous
[pruh-mis-kyoo-uhs]
 -adjective
1. characterized by or involving indiscriminate mingling or association, esp. having sexual relations with a number of partners on a casual basis.
2. casual; irregular; haphazard. 
Synonyms:
1. unchaste. 2. hodgepodge, confused, mixed, jumbled. 3. careless.

Is casual sex necessarily a bad thing? I know people that engage in casual sex and that are promiscuous are generally considered sluts, whores, and whatever else means the same as those words. In the 60's casual sex was considered hip, hence the "swinging 60's", but nowadays it's frowned upon. I just don't understand things like this. Back then, I'm sure practicing safe sex was the last thing on anyone's mind. Now we've got condoms, birth control, and everything else. Now, there are ways to protect against STD's, STI's and unwanted pregnancies. In reality, "swinging" would be much safer to do nowadays. I think having sex casually is healthy as long as you're taking the right precautions. Personally, I just don't see any harm in having a little (or a lot) of fun aka sexual activities. Promiscuity isn't really a bad thing. If it's not your thing, than it's not your thing. And if it is - go ahead and fuck each other's brains out!
