This thread is not meant to bash on those people ...
...but really gives the impression that it is. All the poll answers amount to is "They are just male/female sluts" ("what they're doing is wrong"), "They just do not know better. ("If they had been smarter, they would have understood that what they're doing is wrong")
They will stop when they get older ("once they get older, they'll realize that what they're doing is wrong") Other, please specify ("I won't actually add an option that lets you appprove of this through voting").

This is pretty offensive.

Here's my two cents. There's nothing wrong with enjoying sex. If you love movies, you watch a lot of movies. If you love books, you read a lot of books. If you love sex, you sleep around. (Well, not always, but you get my point.) And there's nothing wrong with that as lon as it's not based on false promises.

Other - As long as they are doing it safely and they aren't cheating on anyone, I don't see the big deal in it. What other people do in that regard is of no business to me. I really don't care.

But that is my personal opinion, lust for sex isn't my cup of tea - I would rather have a cup of tea, and a philosophical problem.
What's wrong with enjoying something?
What life comes down to in the end is how much fun/pleasure you have. Whether you get that from sex or philosophy is not relevant. There is no "higher" way of living your life.
I never said there was. I just stated my opinion. I do not respect people who are driven by sexual desires. I am ok with "love" and the sex that comes with the relationship of "love". I understand very well that sex is something that is required in order for this race to survive. But, I don't really care for this illogical, pathetic and stupid race to continue existing - but it is not up to me to or my task to stop it from spreading.

I just respect different values and pleasures. Fleshy pleasures are not one of them. I respect pleasures of mind. I am sick of people being driven by their need to pass on their seed, it is such a boring reason to exist, we are all boring...

(And just that you don't understand me wrong. I am Atheist - so this has nothing to do with the usual "Bible says so". I just don't like humans or humanity, that also includes me.)

I don't really get your question I don't have a problem with people who sleep around like as one night stands for fun. But, I think if someone is in a relationship and sleeps around behind thier partners back then they are really selfish and thoughtless.

It's not about passing on your seed. When we go through puberty, the majority of us get a sex drive, just because we choose to satisfy it does not fucking make us pathetic or stupid.

And by saying you don't respect "fleshy" pleasures means that you clearly have some pointlessly cynical view about non-intellectual pleasure. You might not personally enjoy it but it's not your place to denounce the entire human race as pathetic just because they take pleasure from different things as you.

Just because some people only care for their primal desires and don't ever think about anything else doesn't mean those desires themselves are bad. And anyway, ignorance is bliss, those people don't know what their missing.


We might not have a grand logical reason for existing, but we do so we might as well do things that give us positive feelings.

EDIT: Having re-read your post I actually understand what your saying a bit better now, I wasn't angry that you have a problem with people who are "driven" by their sex drives, but I don't like how you seem to think physical contact is a bad thing just because you don't like it.

Love how all the options bar "other" are negative.

Seriously, who cares? are you harming you in anyway? harming others? No?

Then just leave them to it, those who call them sluts/Man whores etc. are probaly jealous they're not getting laid like them.

As long as they are not purposefully spreading STDs then I don't see anything wrong with it. Live your life as you see fit, just don't hurt others while you do it.

It's their own business. If they decide the rewards outweigh the risks, and as long as they're honest with their partners about it, why should it affect my view of them?

I couldn't help but notice that OP only left negative options and "other." Does "sleep around" mean cheat or does it simply mean "get all ya can" or "get a lot?"

There are lots of interesting people, and interesting characters, who get a lot of play. In fact, there are tons of interesting people/fictional characters, who cheat on their significant other/spouse who are interesting. From fiction: the title character of Nurse Jackie, the second-best series on Showtime at the moment, is having an affair with a co-worker. She's also a pill-head, a brilliant nurse, and a (somehow) wonderful person. The character is compelling because of the dichotomy - she's both good and virtuous and deplorable and selfish. Kind of like...um...real people.

It's only one aspect of a person's life. Should people look down on former President Clinton because he couldn't keep his hands off the chubby girl and cheated on his wife? Sure, to the extent that it's any of our business (which it is not). I'm certainly for condemning cheating in general. But going after individuals who do it when it doesn't impact your own life is treading far beyond the borders of your own beeswax, and Imma tell your mamma that you're a tattletale.

OP sounds a bit like a Christian Right moralist. Truthfully, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about cheaters or others who have a lot of notches in their belts. My state senate tried to pass a bill making it a felony to officiate at a gay ceremony while putting 2 thirds of our retirement home residents out on the streets and laying off a number of our teachers. Our government is also renting out a mansion on our dime while his home is being remodeled. Wanna guess which state I live in?

Didn't mean to be impertinent there. The point is, unless you cheat on someone I care about, it isn't my business.

They're going to do what they want but to me, they are still sluts. All there is to it. Not to say they can't be good people, they just choose to whore around a lot. I've got a friend like that. She's a nice person... she just enjoys sex more than average for her age.
I'm not really sure I'd trust the word of someone who doesn't even know what "whore" means.
Though I am using a slang of the word, it doesn't mean I don't know what the word means. "Whore" can have a variety of meanings depending on where you ask it. Where I'm at, "whore", means somebody who sleeps with lot of people (not always the opposite gender). So, yes. I do know what it means but I am using it as a slang.

I don't see a reason to care about it. Unless they're my partner and have contracted some kind of venereal disease, there's no reason to give two shits about anyone else's private life.

They are just trying to relive their sexual tension. If the tension is built up to much than perversion happens. Don't believe me? Look at the priests.

Shrug. Their choice. If they want to be a slut, they can be. No concern of mine.

Other people's business is their business.

So, all the options imply we see them badly?

I don't care aslong as the person makes it clear it's just for sex. Using people is being gittish.
What a coincidence. The first 3 replies all represent what I think precisely.

I figure people who sleep around lack a certain amount of self confidence and thrive on any attention they can get.
Or they just enjoy sex and just want some fun. Mad concept, I know.
If that's the case, why not just be friends with benefits instead of promiscuous?
