    Okay Sorry, What I really meant to ask is.

    Has anyone noticed how much more (MOST) promiscuos women are then men nowadays? And (A PERCENTAGE) of women seem to have no problem in sleeping with other people.

    what exactly is your point?

    are you disgusted that women do actually indded enjoy sex?

    or are you disgusted that theres so much going on and youre not getting any?


    what do you mean by sleeping with other people? while in a relationship? because no man has ever done that have they?

    choose your partner very very carefully. its the only member of your fmily that you do get to choose.

    nothing grimey,
    but you havent actaully answered my question.
    what is your point?
    or do you just want to bring to our attention that women are openly haing sex with other people?

    becuase ive known about it for years. ive been helping them....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 323 ✭✭Khynareth


    mmmh...
    Womans point of view now...

    I'd like to know what is the point? Is it bad that women are being 'promiscuous'?
    Do you realise that if women are not, men can't have 'fun' either?

    So there would be two things there:
    Men complain when women are NOT being promiscuous
    then
    Men complain when women ARE being promiscuous.

    A point that was made earlier:

    A man has 'fun' with many women, he's a 'Don Juan'
    A woman has 'fun' with many men, she's a slut...
    Why can't we all have fun without trying to look into each other 'plate' (or bed/or whatever, as it is).

    And realise:

    It's the same for everybody. The more experience your partner has, the more enjoyable she/he will make it for you...
    So where's the problem in being promiscuous?

    OK, we're not rabbits, we're human, but still... Fun is Fun.

    Women get pleasure from sex - just as men do. It's an incentive to reproduce.
    Fair fúcks to ye too.
    And I blame Sex In The City too. Tripe as a program.
    Merc, I'm with you ona ll those points.
    Why not a 6-CD changer too?
    And get some sort or motor in there. A whirring sound is relaxing.

    The ironoing board is a hottible design.
    Not sturdy enough. God knows the number of times I've nearly scalded the skin off my arms when stuff would go that little bit further off the edge of the board, bringing the whole thing crashing down.

    Just on a small side-note: It really irks me that women nearly always get automatic custody of the children when a marriage breaks down. After all these years of supposed equality, there are still prejudices (on both sides).

    Does it really matter if women are more promiscuous.

    TBQH, it can only be a good thing for the traditionally more promiscuous males. And while some men complain that women are promiscuous I think that we men generally don't care. Women tend to be much more bitchy when it comes to who is or isn' a slut.


    At the end of the day all it really means is higher sales figures for Durex. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,975 ✭✭✭Oeneus


    All this business about women being called sluts and men not getting any insult.

    Women are also to blame for this.

    I mean when a man is being promiscuous, other men are like "OOOooh look at 'im go! Ho ho ho!! Heh heh heh!!"

    But when a girl is being promiscuous, other girls call her a slut/tart etc. Or in Irelands case, they just beat the crap out of each other.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,313 ✭✭✭Paladin


    Am I just being silly in pointing out that the more "promiscous" women are, the more "promiscuous" men are?

    I mean, sayingmen were always "sluts" is a little silly. Maybe men always wanted to be, but lets face it. The same number of men are having hetrosexual sex as women ffs.

    I just rekon sex isnt as taboo in modern times. Its easier to get with nightclubs etc.

    My 1 problem with this is the huge increase in sexual diseases (yes we are talking Ireland here too). Africa's situation with AIDS is scary. Thats without education for the most part. Ireland has no excuse.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    WWM, 'how do you think we get that good' isn't a joke, it's a fact...

    I agree women are more promiscuous. I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as they're educated about their own bodies and they're careful.

    Experience is the best teacher.


  • Registered Users Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    whats wrong with having lots of meaningless sex, for the sake of sex...

    ffs since when does peoples sexual practices begin to bother other people to point of it being called wrong....

    Too right. Nice mature post.

    If it doesn't hurt anyone else, where's the real problem? If you don't like it, don't do it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    Yeah I think the post was started cause Its related to when people DO get hurt.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,155 ✭✭✭ykt0di9url7bc3


    how do people get hurt?

    Given that it's your thread you're probably the perfect person to set me stright on that:D

    Didn't get that point from your initial post in this thread but having read the first in your other thread, I can see what you're asking.

    To an extent you're correct. At least in that people are more promiscuous now than they have ever been (or at least are _as_ promiscuous as they've ever been). I don't think it's true that women do it more than guys though. My girlfriend has at least one friend whom I think would sleep with anyone that looked her way (that's my opinion, not her's - Anne would say that "she isn't pushed about her relationship and doesn't seem to care about (boyfriend's name)" or something similar. I've a few friends (well, one at least) who would be similar (maybe they should get together:))

    It's one of a few things usually. In an age where having a baby outside wedlock is no longer seen as the work of the devil and people are more assertive, people experiment (for want of a better word) while they're getting used to adult relationships. Most people get over this phase eventually, as they realise they actually have something to offer a partner and don't need confirmation that they're attractive. Some people don't, often because they always need that confirmation. Some people just keep going with it because they like it.

    As I've mentioned, I've no problem with promiscuity if it doesn't hurt anyone else. Two people not in a relationship who decide to have mind-numbing sex isn't a problem for the world imho.

    A big problem, at least for self-confidence, is where someone has a series of girlfriends who all seem to cheat on him (not that I'm implying this is happening to you, it does seem to happen to some people though). The resulting drop in self-confidence for that person is certainly a big problem for them.

    The bottom line is: if someone really wants to cheat on their partner, they really should examine whether the relationship is worth losing. If it is, they should just lose it and hence be in a position where they can sleep with half the planet and not affect a partner they no longer have. The somewat obvious reason this doesn't work is that serial cheaters just take the chance when it's presented to them, often late in the evening in a nightclub, when it's not really practical to phone a partner and tell them "welcome to dumpsville, population you"

    I haven't really been cheated on (to my knowledge), I have cheated on a number of past girlfriends and always felt guilty as hell afterwards. Generally it marked a milestone or acted as a marker to the end of a relationship - it at least forced me to think about where the relationship was going (or not).

    Bah, still haven't addressed the central point on whether girls are more of cheaters than blokes. Given that the post has gone on for so long (boo:hiss), I'll just say that I honestly don't think so. Previous posts talking about guys being regarded as "studs" if they have a night with a bevvy of cheerleaders in the absence of their girlfriend while girls often being regarded as "sluts" if they do the same are entirely valid. It's an unfair distinction. What's good for the gander is also good for the goose. If women are now as promiscuous as men it's just equality finally breaking out. Not that that's any consolation to a bloke who has his girlfriend "do the dirty" on him.

    When Sexually Transmitted diseases get involved people do get hurt. And having sex with random people for the hell of it doesn't help trying to control these deseases.

    Plus, would you not rather have sex with someone that it would mean a lot to. When it's looked at from this point of view it does seem like a good thing.

    When promiscuity gets involved it makes it look like a less serious subject than it really is. Pornography doesn't really help either.

    Very good read

    If women are being more "promiscuous" doesn't that just mean that we get more sex and the world is a happier place?

    Obviously if they're having more sex, then so are we, unless we're referring to lesbians here? :confused:

    Honestly where's the problem here I mean suffering god you can pay 65 Euro to go to a swingers club for the night with your gf and get as promiscuous as you and her like nowadays :p and have a guaranteed shag/threesome or whatever it is that tickles your fancy, some people just don't seem to move with the times, you didnt' invent a time warp machine and fast forward yourself here from 1945 did you? :p

    Imo sex is overrated, it's just sex, like a duck is a duck, but it can be special when you both feel v.strongly about each other (or you just had a good shag) :p

    It's been a long time in the running that consenting adults get together for a bit of fun, whatever fun may be for you :p

    If you don't like it as was stated don't do it, I do disagree with you saying it's wrong and they oughta cool off or whatnot. The other thing is that a lot of the population here is young at the moment so it may make it seem like it's happening more than it "should" be, or maybe you just never took notice before.

    Some people are inhibited or shy about sex and other's are not, either way it's most certainly not up to you to decide whether we should have protected sex/non protected sex, it comes down to the two individuals involved and that's it. Society has always been plaguerised with disease, all I can say in summation is get busy living or get busy dying :D
