The capacity to love, to form close and lastingly intimate connections or attachments with others, is one of the fundamental pillars of mental health.
Sexual promiscuity is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as many transient, casual, or indiscriminate sexual relationships. The word “indiscriminate,” in turn, is defined as “done at random or without careful judgment”.
Sexual promiscuity, therefore, is sexual behavior without love, attachment, or lasting intimacy. So it should not surprise us that sexual promiscuity, in addition to the health risks, is damaging to our mental and spiritual wellbeing.
But no one talks about it.
Instead, in our culture today, being a sexual libertine is celebrated and “celebrities” like Miley Cyrus parade their sluttiness as a peculiar form of accomplishment. As C. S. Lewis presciently observed, “Sexual intercourse is rapidly becoming the one thing venerated in a world without veneration.”
She turned you down, eh?
Just take a look at today’s Bill Clinton!
May be going to hell in a bucket; but at least I’m enjoying the ride.

That’s what progressivism wants. Give up family. Give up friends. Give up love. Give up marriage.
Wed the party and only the party. Anything outside of the party must be destroyed.
With the “hookup” apps available now, the level of promiscuity possible to just about anybody is considerably higher than in the past. STD’s are going to go through the roof outside of the populations normally most affected by them. It’s not a good time to be promiscuous, really. If there ever was, it ended in the 70’s. Keep your clothes on outside of marriage, people. If morality doesn’t compel you, your future health should.
Even animals show more restraint and common sense than some humans.
Too much Miami Heat....
I'd say this was a study of Slick Willie, but he has no soul.
Wow, people like you (among utterly prudish leftists) only go to show how low as a society we’ve sunk, divisive and polarized. You claim to be conservative Christian, yet hate the concept of Biblical morality. The rules apply to you too, scum.
Gee, what happened to people? I thought this was the last bastion of intellectual honesty, which is abhorred by today’s sadistic elite.
My thoughts precisely.
I cannot imagine not having my wife at my side day by day. nearing 30 years and it continues getting better in every aspect.
Lighten up Francis.
Thanks for your good reflections, which are all true except the C.S.Lewis quote. Sexual intercourse is being de-venerated: de-sacralized, de-personalized, ultimately de-humanized.
It's not falling down from the sacred to the bestial. It's falling from the sacred to the demonic.
“Wed the party and only the party. Anything outside the party must be destroyed.”
Correct.
That’s actually one of the loyalty tests in hardcore Maoist or Stalinist groups, including the ones in the USA like the RCP. You have to state a willingness to execute your own spouse or children if the party decrees them “enemies of the people.”
No “bourgeois sentimentality” is allowed.
And yes, the women **do** get passed around like canapés to all the male comrades. It’s all part of women’s “equality” and “empowerment” doncha know.
I tell you,if today’s secular sex environment isn’t an open and shut case for masturbation, and disinfectant travel size hand sanitizer, I don’t know what is.
It’s an open and shut case for the monogamy that has largely been cast aside. Now, we’re seeing what happens without it.
Well,for decades we’ve seen what it does.
