Promiscuity is the practice of engaging in sexual activity frequently
with different partners or being indiscriminate in the choice of
sexual partners. The term can carry a moral judgment if the social
ideal for sexual activity is monogamous relationships. A common
example of behavior viewed as promiscuous by many cultures is the
one-night stand, and its frequency is used by researchers as a marker
for promiscuity.What sexual behavior is considered promiscuous varies
between cultures, as does the prevalence of promiscuity. Different
standards are often applied to different genders and civil statutes.
Feminists have traditionally argued a significant double standard
exists between how men and women are judged for promiscuity.
Historically, stereotypes of the promiscuous woman have tended to be
pejorative, such as "the slut" or "the harlot", while male stereotypes
have been more varied, some expressing approval, such as "the stud" or
"the player", while others imply societal deviance, such as "the
womanizer" or "the philanderer". A scientific study published in 2005
found that promiscuous men and women are both prone to derogatory
judgment.Promiscuity is common in many animal species. Some species
have promiscuous mating systems, ranging from polyandry and polygyny
to mating systems with no stable relationships where mating between
two individuals is a one-time event. Many species form stable pair
bonds, but still mate with other individuals outside the pair. In
biology, incidents of promiscuity in species that form pair bonds are
usually called extra-pair copulations.Accurately assessing people's
sexual behavior is difficult, since strong social and personal
motivations occur, depending on social sanctions and taboos, for
either minimizing or exaggerating reported sexual activity. Promiscuity Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
