If You Are Single And You Sleep Around It Does NOT Make You A Bad Person
Yes, I'm talking sex, not sleep. (And this isn't about me - I'm not saying I sleep around). I hear scorn for people who fool around a lot. Granted there can be bad outcomes - pregnancy, disease, disrespect - but if the person is careful, is not cheating on someone, is not breaking any laws, then why is it bad? It's a part of nature. It's a universal urge. It's doing it irresponsibly which is bad, not the act itself. You can be a star of a person in every way but really really like sex

Makes you a bad person? No..... Makes you an incredibly stupid person? YES!

You have made a very adept thought-provocative debate here, Grenache.
Good job on the topic, and phrasing.

As much as I ABHOR fornication and promiscuity myself, I must admit, not all who do these social-behaviours are....Evil as persons.
Some even probably do not realize it is bad.
You might be surprised by the DEPTH of some ppl's ignorance on moral issues.
I know I am ;-)

Wrong? Yes. The ppl themselves as "Evil"?..........no.

I would not date or mate with such a person myself.
But I would not stone them either.

Some ppl are just not monogamous by nature.
It may be an instinct missing in these persons. Who knows.
It IS my nature to be monogamous though, so, that is where from I relate as far as right and wrong goes, but that's just my orientation. Not everyone else's, and I recognize that basic fact.
We are all wired differently.
It is just a simple statement of fact.
We are all different.

Sleeping around shows a level of instability...many young people go through a stage when they have just ended a painful long term relationship to just stay single for a while... It leads to going out partying with your friends and ended up with people you would never be interested in ...in a sober state... Your on a roller coaster just going through the steps of life.... Very unsatisfying... Then one day...you want off.... And try to make a relationship work again.....I think it's all part of a learning process.. Better done when you are young.... On the flip side... Someone in a long term relationship for all or most of their young adult life....Wake up one day divorced and having a mid life crisis.... There is nothing worse than a forty year old sl*t.....sow your oats when you're young....

 Actually I agree, I value monogomy of healthy relationships over messing around, but I don't think you're inherently a bad person just because you choose not to be monogomous.

I believe it is entirely ambiguous to say it doesn't make you a bad person without first exploring all of the implications.

Here are a couple that could be considered.


It is a live for to-day existence.

It depends entirely what you really want in life.

For most people the ideal, is to get married and raise a family, don't knock it, it happens all the time, and even by to-days standards it takes a lot of beating.

You need to take into consideration those who you seduce or are seduced by.

They may well have different expectations than yours.

Are there any children involved at any given sexual opportunity? If so would they be better off with a more stable family environment?

I personally feel that later on in life, those who choose not to settle down will be missing out on the finer things of life, and if they do settle and it doesn't work out, then at least they gave it a shot, and you never know what is around the next corner.

Old age can be lonely for those who didn't really try to make it work. We all deserve a second chance or a third or ....

I am for stability. And believe the alternative leads to the butterfly effect.

 I happen to personally agree with your viewpoint, keepmindok, but I am more of a social-anomaly to this modern society than some, so do not be surprised if alot of ppl post opposing views to your opinions.....;-)
there are bed-hoppers, and there are non-bed-hopper.
best to find out real quick what your new date is, beforehand, eh?
