Why are people proud of their promiscuity?

Why don't young people (16-25) wear protection?

• Sooooo Im single (by choice) I just got out of a long relationship (4 years)... I was very happy being in a relationship because I am a serial monogamist (<content being with 1 person for an extended period of time) Now that I am single I pay more attention to my associates promiscuity tales (ie what they did with who the night before while so-and-so was filming ect.) Im always curious about 1 part of the story. Did you use protection? Shockingly (for me) the answer is almost always 'No'. Im paranoid about getting strangers pregnant so, I tend to prefer to keep away from promiscuity but their answers are usually as follows. "Man, I didn't think about it. It was in the heat of the moment. It feels soooo much better without one on. She is on the pill. ect." Now Ive only had sexual relations with 1 female (4 year relationship. I conceded 2 years in) without a condom (mainly because I was bullied with the "you don't love me/you don't trust me" rap. Granted she was on birth control I rathered not risk any unplanned happy accidents (BTW sex without the condom was GREAT) but back to the topic at hand. My friend works for a decent sized hotel/restaurant and he has had sex with over 10 of his fellow employees (most being without a condom). Now I imagine that they kissed had oral sex's', and regular sex. Im using him as an example of the age group of course but there are many more out there like him. My questions are as follows... Do these people not worry about catching STD's? ....Do these people not worry about pregnancies and all that accompanies that?... People like him ruin it for the responsible ones like me... Do you think I enjoy thinking about someone potentially dirtying private parts if someone is pressing for oral stimulation? How do you bring up that you are not cool with doing "that" because of this situation. Thank you for your time.

• Answer:

  Since when did we start expecting young people to be rational or use common sense when it comes to sex? Since never. They can't even be rational about bedtime let alone a testosterone driven function If you don't like oral sex, just admit it. At least your partner won't feel ashamed or "dirty" or think it's her fault. It's not for everyone. Of course, men and women are built differently and intercourse alone will not satisfy a female so she may not want you back unless you learn to gratify her some other way. Or get used to her faking it to get you to hurry up so she can just cuddle.
