Why is it not okay for women to sleep around?

d^_&b

Pretty sure I specified cheating wasn't involved in the OP.

Who cares? I'd say F around all you want (as long as you do it safely), and if people don't like it? They can go F themselves. Your body, your life, your choice.

@jedixman: thanks turns out i was wrong. whoops my bad.

Really? You think so? When I typed it, i wan't being aggressive. Hmmm I'll have to fix this.

One reason I would guess is pregnancy. Men who sleep around won't get pregnant because biology, but women could. Of course, the girl could take care of the child and people would stop complaining. However, what happens if the girl wants to not have the child? Adoption would be the best choice, but a lot of people don't want to go through all that trouble and have an abortion. That is why I am against it, because it is being a coward and not taking full responsibility by being an embarrassment to the human race (people who have sex willingly).

That of course, would be a logical explanation, which probably no one thinks about and just want women to not have some fun sex lol

can you just chill bro? I said I was sorry so there shouldn't be a problem anymore.

Quite frankly it SHOULD be perceived equally for men and women. It isn't because of hundreds of years of societal mores.

If you are single and doing it safely, go ahead I see no problem with having casual sex with as many people as you choose, regardless of your gender. If you are not being responsible about it, or you are in a relationship then it is indeed a very bad thing, again regardless of gender.

@squares: I dont know how it is in your country, but in mine its cool.

It's not obvious?

If it's being done safely and responsibly I actually see no obvious problem?

That's the problem, sleeping around isn't responsible.

By all means explain how it isn't if you use protection and take the proper precautions?

Because it isn't right, you're not supposed to have sex until you're married, even if you're not a Christian what reason is there to have sex without being in a relationship with that person? Otherwise you're lusting and have 0% self control.

How can you be exactly sure you're protected? It's not like it's guaranteed 100%

According to the majority United States population, Christians, sleeping around is not ok for women or men. The majority perspective is to be monogamous.

Although women may get unflattering labels for being promiscuous, it clearly is not a big deterrence; women sleep around as much, if not more than, men; as with many similar things (e.g. choosing a fat significant other, cheating on a significant other), men just get the most attention (e,g. usually, negative, in terms of making him feel ashamed) for doing such. Statements made under the presumption that you're describing the experience of women in western culture, such as in the United States.

You're imposing your own personally constructed morals on other people. Just because you say it is wrong, or the bible says it is wrong doesn't mean it is wrong. Humans are animals, and sex is biologically for procreation. We are designed to produce as many offspring as possible by having sex with as many viable partners as possible. It is not in our nature to be monogamous our entire lives.

It is fine that your value system and beliefs hold that it is wrong, but don't go around spouting that it is the truth, or the only way to believe. All it is, is your opinion.

If the Bible lists something as wrong, it's absolutely wrong, especially things that are labeled as sins in both the Old and New Testaments; there has to be some moral guide and the Bible is that moral guide. The Bible represents the moral guide as laid down by God; people relying on the Bible aren't imposing their personal moral guide on anyone; they're imposing the Creator's moral guide. God's moral guide is the absolute guide of what's right and wrong. If you don't wont to accept that, exercise your free will to do otherwise and prepare for the consequences, albeit it difficult in living and God's judgement in the afterlife. You're only confusing yourself to believe otherwise.

I'm imposing it... if I was imposing it I'd be holding a gun to people's heads and making them not do it, this thread asked for our opinions, I gave mine.

Right.... have as many children as possible, if those kids doesn't have a father/mother because they were born from a one night stand and you ran off with someone else that doesn't matter right?

You tell me that I'm forcing my views and beliefs on others as truth, yet you just did the exact same thing to me. You told me that my beliefs are wrong and don't matter to other people, and that your views are the right ones.

Loads of animals in nature pair off for life, there are no grounds for saying promiscuity is the natural order of things for humans any more than the opposite. Humans choose whichever they prefer out of the two, and nature is inconsistent.

No, you didn't say "It is my opinion that sleeping around is wrong". You replied to me with "Because it isn't right, you're not supposed to have sex until you're married, even if you're not a Christian" as if it was a universal truth.

I never said have as many children as possible. I said that it is one biological urge humans confront and it is there for a perfectly natural reason. If you abandoned your children then yes, that is wrong, but that is a completely different situation.

I didn't force anything onto you. I said that it is fine that you believe that way, I respect your right to believe that in your own personal life. All I "forced" upon you is to let other people have their own beliefs and not act as if yours are any better than anyone else's. I never told you that it's wrong for you to believe what you believe. I told you it was wrong to judge other people's lives and beliefs. All I have done this entire conversation is question why it is ultimately wrong to do so, and tell you o let other people live their lives the way they think is best without judging them as being "wrong".

It is kind of like reusing a dirty sock.

@wolverine08:

You asked me why I believed it was wrong. So I told you.

... Actually you did say that. "We are designed to produce as many offspring as possible by having sex with as many viable partners as possible."

You're doing to me what you're trying to tell me not to do.

First of all I'd like to stress that I am not saying anyone has to sleep around or be promiscuous. I myself am not even promiscuous. I merely think it's not my business or anyone else's to tell another person they can't enjoy casual sex if they want to and they take precautions to avoid the spread of disease and have children you cannot support.

Only roughly 3% of all mammals are considered monogamous by nature. Furthermore humans are one of the very few animals who engage in sex purely for recreation. That being said I agree totally with you that it's up for everyone to decide for themselves. I just don't agree people should be shamed or looked down upon if they choose to embrace their sexuality.

Do you have poor reading comprehension?

How do you equate me stating that as a collective humans have a biological desire to have multiple partners, with me telling you that you can't be monogamous? THAT is the difference. I never once told you that you can't live and believe any way you want. All I have said this whole time is not to act like YOUR opinion is the "right" or "only" opinion.

And while you did that you acted like your opinion is the right one. If we didn't believe our opinions were the right ones we wouldn't have those opinions. It's impossible to not believe our opinions are the right ones.

Dude no this has to be a misunderstanding. I'm seriously not being aggressive. It's not like that. I'm chill man. I have no reson to be mad. Bra trust me, I'm typing this without any aggression. I didn't mean anything I said in a bad way. I'm sorry, jeeze. Let's everybody calm down.

@marvel_boy2241:

I never said you were aggressive man. that was someone else. so I think we should all just chill about this situation bro. alright?

@comedy_brosusa: Yeah dude. Let's just chill. Chillllll.

Generally 'cause of societal bullsht that assumes only men can enjoy and want sex.
