Awful poll.
I don't judge them.
I would myself if I could, I'm just fairly casual when it comes to that stuff.

Well that depends on personal viewpoints. I'd rather look at it from a good point of view. The people I know who sleep around don't exactly hurt anyone, as they talk about not wanting serious relationships and tend to let people know that if they fancy them.TheBelgianGuy said:
Hey, they can do what and who they want. My only reaction to it would be (if she's pretty):
"Hey. How you doin?"
"Hey. How you doin?"
How about not seeing it as a bad thing?
We all know it feels good, and if you can get lots of it and safely, then hats off!

It's just weird to hear stuff about students sleeping with college professors. You know, people who are married and have kids. Freaks me out when I have class from them!
Oh, no, the people who sleep with people who have significant others disgust me. The people who cheat also disgust me.TheBelgianGuy said:I can't help it, I'm a pessimistdogstile said:

I may be a man whore, but i'm a man whore with MORALS :L
Am jealous. 18 and a fuckless wonder due to being not particularly handsome or sociable. Always been a bit of an outcast. Not outright bullied usually, but never accepted into a group. Guess I'm just too fucking weird (except not). People and their silly expectations.
Edit: Oh, I just realised. It may have to do with my generally very aggressive (verbally) and unnecessary reaction to stupidity/injustice/ignorance. Particularly injustice. (when it is actually someone's own damn fault, that is)
So yeah, I'm jealous, 'cause there are a lot of girls I'd like to make love to. Like any other 18 year old male. And I won't get the opportunity. Could be worse, but it sucks nonetheless.

Yeah, pretty bad poll. And yes, I read the OP's post on why he/she did it (as a response to some other thread, which I haven't read) but it's pretty silly. If you personally feel that it's bad for people to sleep around, or you're upset that someone was making fun of those who hadn't had sex yet, then that's one thing. But to go ahead and repeat that in another topic isn't really parody as much as it is a hastily-written attempt to strike back at those who feel along the lines of whatever thread it is you got angry at. Plus, the point is lost when you don't include any reference to those who haven't seen the original topic.
But as for the question: they're totally fine. I'm very much of the opinion that as long as you're careful and everyone is fully informed then there's no problem with sleeping around. It's when you lie to people, don't use protection, or coerce them into sex that it gets bad.

That's funny because I am a Scotsman (if that's why you brought that up then ignore that sentence).immovablemover said:
I'm actually working from experience, almost everyone I meet around here has a single parent. Testament to the fact that the UK has the highest rates of teen pregnancy in europe and these "couples" rarely stick it.
Let's say 1,000,00 of the 55,000,000 UK population has a one night stand using a condon. 3% of 1,000,000 is still 30,000 and that is no small number. Remembering that the pill can also fail and how much of a joke the rhythm method is (I can tell you THAT from experience) it amounts to larger than 3% of "safe sex" encounters. Also taking into account that so many of these encounters take place under the effects of drugs, alcohol or both very often there is no safe sex at all, just sex.
Edit: Forgetting pregnancy for a second. A recent study claimed that 1 in 3 people in the UK will contract some form of sexually transmitted illness at some point in their lives. Isn't that reason enough to be a little bit more conservative with regards to sex?
I noticed the poll choices, and couldn't help but think that the poll creator is perchance a little biased. >_>
Why does anyone have to have an opinion about others who sleep around? If its someone I don't know or don't live with, I couldn't possibly care less about his/her sex life. It's about as relevant to me as their favorite color. This is where a lot of homophobia comes from, I think - judgments about where consenting adults (emphasis on that part) like to put their reproductive organs. People in general make me uncomfortable and the idea of having sex with a near stranger is a turn off in of itself. If anything, I admire people who can get over that. It can be both fun and profitable. From what I hear.
Depends on the context. I get around, but it isn't as though everything is casual. Generally go for a serious relationship, and then things just don't happen to work out.
Now there are people that just sleep around for the sake of sleeping around. Not a big fan of straight-up sluts, male or female. The whole "player" thing included.
As long as it is safe, and I don't get screwed over, then so be it.

People sleep around for tons of different reasons. Everyone has different perspectives and they have their reasons for having those perspectives. Some people have biological factors that they obviously have no control over that make them more prone to sleeping around. Promiscuity can be a symptom of bipolar or borderline personality disorder, for instance.
I guess you'd just have to know their motivation really. It's common knowledge that it's not a great idea to have sex with anyone for the hell of it. But trust me, you wouldn't believe the situations you can get in. Guys these days just unauthorizedly start doing inappropriate things and it's so hard to get out of those situations if you're not at all assertive and you just don't know how to handle it. And of course there can be societal pressure on boys that motivates them to try and get with a lot of women, so there's that too.
But keep in mind, we all make mistakes and we all do things that other people would disagree with. Don't fall under the impression that you're in a place to decide who or what someone is or why they do what they do.

They just choose to do so. I see no problem with it as long as they aren't in a supposedly monogamous relationship with someone.
