Topic: Sexually promiscuous


  
  Promiscuous at General Information
A person who is said to be promiscuous in terms of sexual context means that he or she has several partners and that he or she sees them all and be with them on a casual basis, one or more at a time.
Sexually promiscuous people are those who don’t necessarily limit their sexual life to only what is accepted by the society.
To be sexually promiscuous is to break away from that subconscious rule.

  RELIGIOUS AND GENDER DIFFERENCES IN STEREOTYPICAL VIEWS OF SEXUAL PROMISCUITY
Under the assumption that the notion of sexual promiscuity has found its base in primitive social developments, it was the goal of the present investigation to research the permissiveness of gender divisions regarding sexual promiscuity and their relation to one of the most influential institutions of modern society to date: religion.
Sexual promiscuity was defined as sexual intercourse with multiple persons in a brief time span outside of an exclusive and monogamous relationship.
It was perhaps, simpler to disapprove of sexual promiscuity as a broaden concept, than it was to consider a friend to be promiscuous in a negative manner.

 The End of Courtship (Part 1 of 3)
Sexually active — in truth, hyperactive — they flop about from one relationship to another; to the bewildered eye of this admittedly much-too-old but still romantic observer, they manage to appear all at once casual and carefree and grim and humorless about getting along with the opposite sex.
The supreme virtue of the virtuous woman was modesty, a form of sexual self-control, manifested not only in chastity but in decorous dress and manner, speech and deed, and in reticence in the display of her well- banked affections.
For it is a woman's refusal of sexual importunings, coupled with hints or promises of later gratification, that is generally a necessary condition of transforming a man's lust into love.

 Some Myths About Sexual Abuse
The sexual abuser is more likely to use his power and authority as an adult (or older child) to coerce the child victim through bribes, threats, and the child's fear of the unknown.
One characteristic common to sexual abusers is a capacity for rationalizing their actions, mentally justifying an illegal, unacceptable, and inappropriate behavior as necessary and all right.
Sexual abuse of children, regardless of the form it takes, is a sexual act that results in sexual gratification for the perpetrator.

 Child Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse occurs when an adult is sexually aroused by children and acts on this impulse.

 HERPES AND THE IDEOLOGY OF RECREATIONAL SEX
Popular culture has decided, on the basis of mere collective opinion, that pre-marital sex; extra-marital sex; teenage sex; general promiscuity; homosexuality; pornography and erotica; prostitution; cinema and video-game depictions of sexual violence; etc.; etc.; are either morally adequate, or at least not to be judged, condemned, or in any way censured by society.
The "consequences argument" (herpes, AIDS, teenage pregnancy, disposable marriages and families, etc.) that refute the sexual revolution should be evident to any thinking person, but one rarely hears the recreational sex concept being challenged--certainly not by politicians or the popular media, and depressingly seldom by religious leaders either.
This pernicious idea that sexuality is an acceptable form of recreation, outside formally sanctioned and ordered relationships (ie: marriage), is a recipe for disease and social breakdown.

 [No title]
Although it was predicted that the results would show that subjects exposed to violence coupled with explicit sexuality would experience the greatest attitudinal desensitization toward the sexual assault in my ambiguous date rape scenario, and that sexual explicitness alone would not cause such a desensitization, the results did not show this effect.
It is possible that a greater desensitization in the subjects exposed to violence coupled with explicit sexuality was not found because the intensity of the material used in the film clips was unequal across all conditions.
The violent, sexually explicit condition in the present study used clips from three different films to insure that different characters were viewed, thus avoiding a decrease in intensity which might occur from watching the same individuals.

 Seminar on Child Sexual Abuse
Possible consequences arising from an allegation of sexual abuse-a frightening and perhaps painful physical examination by a stranger, separation from one or both parents, possible removal to a foster home, multiple interrogations by a number of inter-viewers-are themselves the source of significant stress.
In addition, not all sexually abused children are symptomatic subsequent to sexual abuse (Gomes-Schwartz, Horowitz, and Cardarelli, 1990), so the absence of behavioral symptoms cannot be used to rule out sexual abuse.
It is the consensus of scientific opinion that no specific behavioral syndromes characterize victims of sexual abuse; therefore the presence of symptoms cannot be used to demonstrate that abuse or occurred and the absence of symptoms does not rule it out (e.g., Lamb, 1994).

 Newswise
New research from the Univ. of Arkansas shows that men who believe a rape victim has resisted and then relented to sexual pressure in the past view the victim as more sexually responsive to her rapist.
Further, the UA research finds that men who perceive a woman as having been sexually promiscuous in the past consider her attacker more aggressive, threatening and harmful.
Both findings stem from a series of experiments in which UA psychologists attempted to identify how preconceptions about a woman's sexual history, combined with men's attitudes about women, sex and masculinity, affect public perception of victims, perpetrators and sexual assault as a whole.

 Assortative mixing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example, in a sexual network individuals tend to choose partners who are similar in age, race, sexual orientation, marital status, socioeconomic status, religion, or locale.
Assortative mixing is involved in the phenomenon of "super-spreaders" of sexually transmitted diseases; a small fraction of the population that is very sexually promiscuous can act as a conduit for the disease to spread within the group over wide distances, and from that group to other social groups.
An example of this phenomenon is the population subgroup formed by truck drivers and prostitutes in Africa.

 Irrational Knowledge » Blog Archive » A defense of legislating morality
The reason conservatives want to legislate morality, particularly sexual morality, is because it is people from broken families that require the lion’s share of charity.
Just one year of having to raise their own children, work for their own money, and be accountable for their own actions will teach people more about personal responsibility and sexual morality than a lifetime of conservative nattering.
