I really dislike promiscuity. I don't know if it's

>Sometimes I think my friends think my dislike for it is affected on some level, and I don't really know myself.
what does this mean? what are you saying?

are you trying to say that your friends think that your dislike for promiscuity affects your friendships?

nah, other definition of "affected," like I wonder if they think I just want to take moral high ground by being prudish. I can't think of any good "arguments" for not being slutty myself, but I think I just find it very distasteful. But if my friends and I talk about the issue, there I am with no good points and there they are all agreeing with the points they're making

I had this a lot in high school, I find it disgusting and distasteful when people are generally too open about their sex lives, especially at that age. It's also annoying because they will also randomly hook up with people in/out of the social circle and make whatever comes after everyone else's burden.

Assuming you're female? Maybe you just see it for how disgraceful it really is and possess an innate value of self worth?

You should just be very open about this and your friends will accept your views if theyre mature enough. Tell them you don't really think it's the wrong thing to do per se, that you just don't like it at an emotional level for some reason.

For me, I really hated overt promiscuity when I was younger, especially when I felt insecure about myself in general. Now, I just feel kinda indifferent about it. Like I know they're having fun and it sucks because if more people get into that culture i wouldnt have a lot of people i could easily connect with, but i trust that everyone is different and there's always people who are on my level in terms of promiscuity.

learn something new every day.

well there's pic related. there's

with the referenced study at

and yeah. basically promiscuous people are more likely to be miserable people and die alone. watch lauren southern's videos on "what every girl should be told" and her cal poly speech if you want something easily digestible to show people. note that there aren't a lot of studies on the effects of promiscuity on men but what I would argue is that results tend to show that there is a similar effect as there is to women but that it's lessened, more than likely due to the difference in the ways men and women process and deal with emotional issues. then again take that with a grain of salt, I'm just a random on the internet, that's my theory, I don't have funding to pursue that hypothesis.

Yeah, I feel that. I feel like it'd be a non-issue, but literally everyone in my social circle is very free love-y. It's partly a gay thing I think, but it also relates to other stuff that we relate on I guess. Maybe I need a new social circle... that's a really fucking hard order to fill though
