i thought i'd made the many-partners thing kinda understood, i even threw in swinging as something in the "dangerous" league as seeing prostitutes. i should have been more explicit--yes, monogamy is a totally different ballgame in terms of exposure. the point was, sex isn't without some gravity--fucking lots of people who have fucked hundreds of people will leave you with an itchy, recurring rash as the best-case scenario. fuciing one person who's been tested 40 times a day is fine unless you're smartt and need to be prevented from breeding.



It was implicit in your words, but I think that it's best to spell these things out explicitly, lest your argument be misunderstood as that of an anti-sex prude. The "sex-positive" types you refer to aren't generally the most critical of thinkers.

I also think that casual sex can be psychologically damaging in a subtle but cumulative way. It's more of a gut feeling than something I could back up with hard evidence though.
