Does everyone (or the majority) have a time in their life when they're very promiscuous?

I didn’t.

If so, I haven’t hit it yet. Time’s running out…..

No not necessarily. Although the ones that do don’t stay that way as a rule so cheer up!

When I was in high school, I thought everyone was getting more than I. That wouldn’t be hard. If they got anything, they got more than I. In college, it was pretty much the same story. My idea was they everyone had oodles of lovers. Maybe I was reading too much Playboy.

When I got out of college, things changed, and for a while, I had a few different partners. I had a series of relationship lasting two to four years apiece. I don’t know if that counts as promiscuity. They were, mostly, monogamous relationships, although a couple were open. It doesn’t feel promiscuous. It wasn’t sport sex. There were relationships involved with all those acts of intimacy. So, depending on how you define it, I was or wasn’t promiscuous. Like I say, it didn’t feel promiscuous to me.

Not for me.

I consider my sexual exploits very much on a par puin intended with a round of golf.
Eighteen holes eventually ending up with my balls in the cup & then a nice little drink & perhaps a nap after.

Started when I was a baby coming out of a vagina. Now can’t get enough of trying to get back in, not through the same vagina of course.

I’ve tried as much as possible to be promiscuous now. Not much luck.

Actually, I don’t think every one does, probably much less than 50% do. Promiscuity implies a lot of one night stands or jumping into bed on the first or second date.

A lot of people have less than ten partners before getting married, and don’t fool around during marriage. Rather than promiscuous, I think it is much more common to have a succession of partners one feels committed to (even for a month or two ) that end up failing.

@zenvelo Yup, I call it “serial monogamy”.

I certainly haven’t. I’m inclined to assume that the majority hasn’t either. Although, I could see different generations, or even decades, coming out with different numbers of general promiscuity.

I’m sure if I wasn’t in a relationship now, at 22, I’d be expressing my sexuality in a very giving way. But, I think I’d mostly just fool around with a bunch of girls and rarely actually have sex with guys.

@Facade Hawt.

If you were going based on what you see in tv, movies, books, whatever, you’d definitely think YES. But I think the real life answer is no. Yeah, at your big colleges you’ve got a lot of people who sleep around a bunch, but aside from that I think it’s a little more on the rare side.

No.

GQ. The only people I’ve heard admitting to it are a handful of male rock stars.

I didn’t. My partners have all been very spread out over time, except for the year I was 20 and slept with 3 guys (a boyfriend, a one-night stand and another boyfriend). I guess that might be construed as promiscuous, but I don’t personally think so.

I did. However, I know plenty of people that never did.

I was quite naughty when I was younger. I had a good time!

No, not everyone. But I am right smack in the middle of mine, I think. 13 partners in the past 13 months? I just love the thrill of each new “conquest” plus my Pill makes me super horny and I know I have plenty of time to be monogamous when I’m married. Damn, I need to find someone to sleep with tonight.

I don’t think so, but, as I’ve said before, I was a very late bloomer. I think promiscuity would make me feel soiled.

I’m pretty sure I’ve never outgrown that phase. I really don’t think the majority get that way, though. We scare the sex out of people with our oxymoronic takes on sexuality.

I haven’t. I’ve never had that urge, personally.

I did, and loved every minute of it. I know plenty of people who didn’t, though.

I was never promiscuous. Including my husband, I had a total of 7 partners within a 4 year period.

Umm, early 70’s, birth control, living on my own.

yeah, been there, done that. Nothing to write home to mom about!

I have never been promiscuous. I need to love and trust someone before I am comfortable enough to be intimate with someone.

Yupp… had the promiscuous phase. Over it now. Glad I did it. Now I knw whats good for me whats not and I can go on marrying a man without feeling like i missed out on anything :)
