<p>its one thing for people to have sex... and another for them to tell everyone about it, I mean do what makes you happy, please dont give me the gory details...</p>
<p>and RacinReaver... I guess your right... but if you do it right, neither are really harmful</p>
<p>Lol, sex is potentially harmful only if you're a complete idiot (assuming your partner's not malicious). Otherwise it's quite healthy for you, lol.</p>
<p>And there aren't any sexually promiscuous people at my HS -- there are only a couple of openly gay students, so there's not much of an applicant pool there, and the rest of us are hetero males. Come to think of it, I can't recall a time when I'd have come in contact with a promiscuous member of the opposite sex... I'm so sheltered!</p>
<p>To me, it's just a sign of either extreme maturity or extreme immaturity, depending on the person and situation.
I don't tend to pay much mind to other people's decisions, though.</p>
<p>While excessive promiscuity in HS is ridiculous, there's only a few people who I think do it excessively. For instance I think drinking is perfectly fine, excessive, not at all. Most HS kids are able to do both responsibly (at least at my school) and they both seriously liven up the dull existence of a HPYS-bound student. Honestly, the point of HS is to learn about life and grow, not to shelter yourself and barricade yourself behind books or completely throw yourself out there. </p>
<p>So no, I don't judge those who have a different boyfriend/gf every week, because A) its their choice and B) i've been down that road in 11th grade, I don't think it was degrading, it just didn't have the long-term benefits of building a strong relationship with one person. Which I have many years to do. </p>
<p>And honestly, people who judge people for having too much sex just seem jealous, whether or not they are, I cant help but think that. So no, I'll save my judgment for creationists and uber-sensitive PC people and fat people.</p>
<p>I don't care. </p>
<p>And, if there is some kind of "crisis" with one of my friends, at least it brings some excitement into my life. If nobody was promiscuous, think how boring HS would be!</p>

I dunno, I think my brother banging a new girl every week is a little more risky than me eating a Twinkie once a week.

Most people consume junk food more than once a week. And junk food is more dangerous than you think. ;)</p>
<p>Dietary irresponsibility kills far more Americans than "sexual irresponsibility".</p>
<p>I just went to my first high school dance, and I'm starting to have second thoughts on this issue. Previously, promiscuity would have been something I looked down on. But it is high school, there is no better time to be frivolous in one's pursuits. Class is already stressful enough, and adding on long term relationships can be burdensome, though possible. As long as the partaker understands its all fun and games, i see no reason to object.</p>
<p>hey find a new name nickst22, its too close to mine, kthx.</p>

<p>promiscuity ftw!! jk</p>
<p>"Promiscuity doesn't cause people to die" is a ludicrous statement when looked at in the context of the global AIDS epidemic.</p>
<p>The sexual revolution ended for a reason.</p>

No one said promiscuity doesn't cause people to die. I'm assuming this is a misquotation of what I originally said, which was:</p>

Which is true.</p>
<p>The global AIDS epidemic is largely due to Africa. Please don't try to tell me that AIDS in Africa is due to promiscuity. -_-</p>
<p>The sentiment had been expressed by more people than just you. As for your particular statement, "X is worse than Y, therefore Y is not bad" is a logical fallacy, and I don't feel like devoting any more time to it.</p>
<p>The first major outbreak of AIDS in America was centered on, surprise surprise, promiscuous gay males. The primary method by which HIV is spread is still sexual activity, especially in Africa and other third-world regions. What isn't making sense?</p>
<p>^Actually...</p>
<p>The gay community in the US (hell, EVERY community in the US) have taken great steps to reduce the spread of AIDS in recent years. The main issue now (in the US, or at least in DC) is drug users sharing hypodermics. Sexual promiscuity is pretty much not an issue, or at least, not the main one.</p>
<p>And I seriously doubt that HIGH SCHOOL kids are spreading AIDS (Don't bother linking me to that article about the DC-area school. I've heard, and the fact that it's shocking makes it an exception that proves the rule) by unprotected sex. </p>
<p>Furthermore, the reason for the AIDS epidemic in Africa has a lot to do with condom use and religion and a whole slew of other things.</p>
<p>Oh, and, "centered on promiscuous gay males"? Check it: Opportunistic</a> Infections and Kaposi's Sarcoma among Haitians in the United States </p>
<p>I'll admit that being homosexual added to the probability of getting AIDS in the 80's, but I don't think we can say the epidemic was centered on gay males.</p>
<p>(Resident AIDS expert checking out now. (: )</p>
<p>I used to look down upon those people who hook up with a new person at a party when drunk every weekend, and then a good friend of mine started doing so and I realized that a) it's her decision, and it was making her happy, and b) who cares? I personally find it more meaningful to be in a committed relationship, but I can now understand that other people just happen to disagree. Plus, it's high school; as long as you're not doing really stupid stuff (i.e. having lots of unprotected sex), experimentation isn't a bad thing.</p>
<p>Experimentation is not a bad thing at all...if I went to parties I would totally hook up with girls all the time...only hot girls of course..but I choose not to and instead stay homework and do my homework and other stuff for college cause I want to get to an elite college, good education, good major, good career, lots of money, success, happiness, and THEN find hot chicks to get with. It's like either eating an ok donut after you are full, or eating the donut after 20 years of starvation..now ask yourself which method will be more fulfilling, more enriching, and more pleasurable?</p>
<p>haha because the choice not to have fun magically increases your chances at elite colleges... clearly the partying occasionally and uber college success are mutually exclusive... </p>
<p>Keep in mind that no strings sex will never be as readily available as it is in HS or college, and while the quality most likely increases when your an adult, be wary of starving yourself of a donut, and then getting out into the real world and realizing a flashy job and a nice suit alone isn't sufficient for the donut that could be obtained in HS will minimal effort.</p>
<p>tom jones, I'd have to go with eating the donut right now.</p>
<p>Donuts stale. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>As long as those involved are being safe, there's no reason to judge.</p>
<p>What constitutes promiscuity? 5 partners? 10, 20? And i'd disagree with promiscuity equating with stupidity or immaturity. I know a guy going to cornell who slept with 23 chicks(up to age 24 and all hot) in hs, and he was one of the nicest, most mature people I know. Even though he was one of the "cool kids" he'd never condescend to anyone. He could make anyone feel like a million bucks.</p>
