Promiscuityis the practice of engaging insexual activityfrequently with differentpartnersor being indiscriminate in the choice of sexual partners.[1]The term can carry a moral judgment. A common example of behavior viewed as promiscuous by many cultures is theone-night stand,and its frequency is used by researchers as a marker for promiscuity.[2]

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.Feministshave traditionally argued a significantdouble standardexists between how men and women are judged for promiscuity. Historically, stereotypes of the promiscuous woman have tended to be pejorative, such as "theslut"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.[3]

Promiscuity is common in many animal species.[4]Some species have promiscuousmating systems,ranging frompolyandryandpolygynyto mating systems with no stable relationships where mating between two individuals is a one-time event. Many species form stablepair bonds,but still mate with other individuals outside the pair. Inbiology,incidents of promiscuity in species that form pair bonds are usually calledextra-pair copulations.

Motivations

[edit]

Accurately assessing people'ssexual behavioris difficult, since strong social and personal motivations occur, depending on socialsanctionsandtaboos,for either minimizing or exaggerating reported sexual activity.

American experiments in 1978 and 1982 found the great majority of men were willing to have sex with women they did not know, of average attractiveness, who propositioned them. No woman, by contrast, agreed to such propositions from men of average attractiveness. While men were in general comfortable with the requests, regardless of their willingness, women responded with shock and disgust.[5]

The number of sexual partners people have had in their lifetimes varies widely within a population. We see a higher number of people who are more comfortable with their sexuality in the modern world. A 2007 nationwide survey in the United States found the median number of female sexual partners reported by men was seven and the median number of male partners reported by women was four. The men possibly exaggerated their reported number of partners, women reported a number lower than the actual number, or a minority of women had a sufficiently larger number than most other women to create a mean significantly higher than the median, or all of the above. About 29% of men and 9% of women reported to have had more than 15 sexual partners in their lifetimes.[6]Studies of the spread ofsexually transmitted infectionsconsistently demonstrate a small percentage of the studied population has more partners than the average man or woman, and a smaller number of people have fewer than the statistical average. An important question in theepidemiologyof sexually transmitted infections is whether or not these groups copulate mostly at random with sexual partners from throughout a population orwithin their social groups.

A 2006systematic reviewanalyzing data from 59 countries worldwide found no association between regional sexual behavior tendencies, such as number of sexual partners, and sexual-health status. Much more predictive of sexual-health status are socioeconomic factors like poverty and mobility.[7]Other studies have suggested that people with multiple casual sex partners are more likely to be diagnosed with sexually transmitted infections.[8]

Severe and impulsive promiscuity, along with a compulsive urge to engage in illicit sex with attached individuals is a common symptom ofborderline personality disorder,histrionic personality disorder,narcissistic personality disorder,andantisocial personality disorderbut most promiscuous individuals do not have these disorders.[9]

Cross-cultural studies

[edit]

In 2008, a U.S. university study of international promiscuity found thatFinnshave had the largest number of sex partners in the industrialized world, andBritish peoplehave the largest number among big western industrial nations.[10]The study measured one-night stands, attitudes tocasual sex,and number ofsexual partners.[citation needed]A 2014 nationwide survey in the United Kingdom named Liverpool the country's most promiscuous city.[11]

Britain's position on the international index "may be linked to increasing social acceptance of promiscuity among women as well as men". Britain's ranking was "ascribed to factors such as the decline of religious scruples about extramarital sex, the growth of equal pay and equal rights for women, and a highly sexualized popular culture".[12][13][14]

The top-10-rankingOECDnations with a population over 10 million on the study's promiscuity index, in descending order, were the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Czechia, Australia, the United States, France, Turkey, Mexico, and Canada.[12][13][14]

A 2017 survey by Superdrug found that the United Kingdom was the country with the most sex partners with an average of 7, while Austria had around 6.5.[15][16]The 2012 Trojan Sex Life Survey found that African American men reported an average of 38 sex partners in their lifetime.[17]A study funded bycondom-makerDurex,conducted in 2006 and published in 2009, measured promiscuity by a total number of sexual partners. The survey found Austrian men had the highest number of sex partners globally, with 29.3 sexual partners on average. New Zealand women had the highest number of sex partners for females in the world with an average of 20.4 sexual partners. In all of the countries surveyed, except New Zealand, men reported more sexual partners than women.[18][19]

One review found the people from developed Western countries had more sex partners than people from developing countries in general, while the rate of STIs was higher in developing countries.[7]

According to the 2005 Global Sex Survey by Durex, people have had on average nine sexual partners, the most in Turkey (14.5) and Australia (13.3), and the fewest in India (3) and China (3.1).[20]

In many cases, the population of each country that participates is approximately 1000 people and can equate to less than 0.0003% of the population, e.g. the 2017 survey of 42 nations surveyed only 33,000 people. In India, data was collected from less than 0.000001% of the total population at that time.[21][18][22]According to the 2012 General Social Survey in the United States by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, Protestants on average had more sex partners than Catholics.[23]Similarly, a 2019 study by the Institute for Family Studies in the US found that of never married young people, Protestants have more sexual partners than Catholics.[24]

Male promiscuity

Giacomo Casanovawas famously promiscuous.

Straight men (heterosexuals)

[edit]

A 1994 study in the United States, which looked at the number of sexual partners in a lifetime, found 20% of heterosexual men had one partner, 55% had two to 20 partners, and 25% had more than 20 sexual partners.[26]More recent studies have reported similar numbers.[27]

In the United Kingdom, a nationally representative study in 2013 found that 33.9% of heterosexual men had 10 or more lifetime sexual partners. Among men between 45 and 54 years old, 43.1% reported 10 or more sexual partners.[28]

A 2003 representative study in Australia found that heterosexual men had a median of 8 female sexual partners in their lifetime. For lifetime sexual partners: 5.8% had 0 partners, 10.3% had 1 partner, 6.1% had 2 partners, 33% had between 3 and 9 partners, 38.3% had between 10 and 49 partners and 6.6% had more than 50 female sexual partners.[29]

A 2014 representative study in Australia found that heterosexual men had a median of 7.8 female sexual partners in their lifetime. For lifetime sexual partners: 3.7% had 0 partners, 12.6% had 1 partner, 6.8% had 2 partners, 32.3% had between 3 and 9 partners, 36.9% had between 10 and 49 partners and 7.8% had more than 50 female sexual partners.[30]

Research byJ. Michael Baileyfound that heterosexual men had the same level of interest in casual sex as gay men. However he found straight men were limited in their ability to acquire high numbers of female partners. According to Bailey, "These facts suggest that women are responsible for the pace of sex. Gay and straight men both want casual sex, but only straight men have the brake of women’s sexually cautious nature to slow them."[31]

Gay men (homosexuals)

[edit]

A 1989 study found having over 100 partners to be present though rare among homosexual males.[32]An extensive 1994 study found that difference in the mean number of sexual partners between gay and straight men "did not appear very large".[33][34]

A 2007 study reported that two large population surveys found "the majority ofgay menhad similar numbers of unprotected sexual partners annually as straight men and women. "[35][36]

The 2013 BritishNATSALstudy found that gay men typically had 19 sexual partners in a lifetime (median).[37]In the previous year, 51.8% reported having either 0 or 1 sexual partner. A further 21.3% reported having between 2 and 4 sexual partners, 7.3% reported having between 5 and 9, and 19.6% reported having 10 or more sexual partners.[37]

A 2014 study in Australia found gay men had a median of 22 sexual partners in a lifetime (sexual partnerwas defined as any sexual contact, kissing, touching or intercourse).[38]30% of gay respondents reported 0–9 partners in their lifetime. 50.1% of gay men reported having either 0 or 1 partner in the previous year, while 25.6% reported 10 or more partners in the previous year.[38]

Research on gay sexual behavior may overrepresent promiscuous respondents.[39][33][40]This is because gay men are a small portion of the male population, and thus many researchers have relied onconvenience surveysto research behavior of gay men. Examples of this type of sampling includes surveying men on dating apps such asGrindr,or finding volunteers at gay bars, clubs and saunas. Convenience surveys often exclude gay men who are in a relationship, and gay men who do not use dating apps or attend gay venues.[39][41]For example, the British and European convenience surveys included approximately five times as many gay men who reported "5 or more sexual partners" than the nationally representative NATSAL study did.[42][40]Probability samplesurveys are more useful in this regard, because they seek to accurately reflect the characteristics of the gay male population. Examples include theNATSALin the United Kingdom and theGeneral Social Surveyin the United States.

According toJohn Corvino,opponents of gay rights often use convenience sample statistics to support their belief that gay men are promiscuous, but that larger representative samples show that the difference is not so large, and that extreme promiscuity occurs in a minority of gay men.[43]PsychologistJ. Michael Baileyhas stated that social conservatives use promiscuity among gay men as evidence of a "decadent" nature of gay men, but says "I think they're wrong. Promiscuous gay men are expressing an essentially masculine trait. They are doing what most heterosexual men would do if they could. They are in this way just like heterosexual men, except that they don't have women to constrain them."[31]: 87 

Regardingsexually transmitted infections(STIs), some researchers have said that the number of sexual partners had by gay men cannot fully explain rates of HIV infection in this population. Most gay men report having similar numbers of unprotected sexual partners as straight men on an annual basis. Unprotected receptive anal sex, which holds a much higher risk of HIV transmission, appears to be the major factor.[44]

Female promiscuity

[edit]
Main article:Female promiscuity
EmpressCatherine IIis remembered in popular culture for her sexual promiscuity.

In 1994, a study in the United States found almost all married heterosexual women reported having sexual contact only with their husbands, and unmarried women almost always reported having no more than one sexual partner in the past three months. Lesbians who had long-term partners reported having fewer outside partners than heterosexual women.[32]More recent research, however, contradicts the assertion that heterosexual women are largely monogamous. A 2002 study estimated that 45% to 55% of married heterosexual women engage in sexual relationships outside of their marriage,[45][better source needed]while the estimate for heterosexual men engaging in the same conduct was 50–60% in the same study.[45]

One possible explanation for hyper sexuality is child sexual abuse (CSA) trauma. Many studies have examined the correlation between CSA andrisky sexual behavior.Rodriguez-Srednicki and Ofelia examined the correlation of CSA experienced by women and their self-destructive behavior as adults using a questionnaire. The diversity and ages of the women varied. Slightly fewer than half the women reported CSA while the remainder reported no childhood trauma. The results of the study determined that self-destructive behaviors, including hypersexuality, correlates with CSA in women.[46]CSA can create sexual schemas that result in risky sexual behavior.[47]This can play out in their sexual interactions as girls get older. The sexual behaviors of women that experienced CSA differed from those of women without exposure to CSA. Studies show CSA survivors tend to have more sexual partners and engage in higher risk sexual behaviors.[48]

Since at least 1450, the word 'slut' has been used, often pejoratively, to describe a sexually promiscuous woman.[49]In and before theElizabethanandJacobean eras,terms like "strumpet" and "whore" were used to describe women deemed promiscuous, as seen, for example, inJohn Webster's 1612 playThe White Devil.[citation needed]

Thornhill and Gangestad found that women are much more likely to sexually fantasize about and be attracted toextra-pair menduring the fertile phase of themenstrual cyclethan theluteal phase,whereas attraction to the primary partner does not change depending on themenstrual cycle.[50]A 2004 study by Pillsworth, Hasselton and Buss contradicted this, finding greater in-pair sexual attraction during this phase and no increase in attraction to extra-pair men.[51]

In Norwegian students, Kennair et al. (2023) found no signs of a sexual double standard in short-term or long-term mating contexts, nor in choosing a friend, except that women's self-stimulation was more acceptable than men's.[52]

Evolution

[edit]

Evolutionary psychologistspropose that a conditionalhumantendency for promiscuity is inherited fromhunter-gathererancestors. Promiscuity increases the likelihood of having children, thus "evolutionary" fitness. According to them, female promiscuity is advantageous in that it allows females to choose fathers for their children who have better genes than their mates, to ensure better care for their offspring, have more children, and as a form of fertility insurance.[53]Male promiscuity was likely advantageous because it allowed males to father more children.

Primitive promiscuity

[edit]

Primitive promiscuity or original promiscuity was the 19th-century hypothesis that humans originally lived in a state of promiscuity or "hetaerism"before the advent of society as we understand it.[54][55][56][57][58]Hetaerism is a theoretical early state of human society, as postulated by 19th-century anthropologists, which was characterized by the absence of the institution of marriage in any form and in which women were the common property of their tribe and in which children never knew who their fathers were.[59]

The reconstruction of the original state ofprimitive societyor humanity was based on the idea of progress, according to which all cultures have degrees of improvement and becoming more complicated. It seemed logical to assume that never before the types of families developed did they simply exist, and in primitive society, sexual relations were without any boundaries and taboos. This view is represented, inter alia, by anthropologistLewis H. MorganinAncient SocietyandFriedrich Engels' workThe Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State.[60]

In the first half of the 20th century, this notion was rejected by a number of authors, e.g.Edvard Westermarck,a Finnish philosopher, social anthropologist and sociologist with in-depth knowledge of the history of marriage, who provided strong evidence that, at least in the first stages of cultural development, monogamy has been a perfectly normal and natural form of man-woman coexistence.[61][62]

Modern cultural anthropology has not confirmed the existence of a complete promiscuity in any known society or culture. The evidence of history is reduced to therebyts ofHerodotus,Strabo,andSolinus,which have been hard to interpret.[63]

Religious, social, and cultural views

[edit]
See also:Fornication

Christianity,Judaism,andIslamcondemn promiscuity and instead advocate lifelong monogamous marriage (although Islam allows polygamy for men).[64]The perspectives on promiscuity vary significantly depending on the region. Every country has different values and morals pretraining to sexual life.

Promiscuity has been practiced inhippiecommunities and otheralternative subculturessince the1960s cultural revolution.[65]

Sex and Cultureis a book byJ. D. Unwinconcerning the correlation between a society's level of 'cultural achievement' and its level of sexual restraint. Published in 1934, the book concluded with the theory that as societies develop, they become more sexually liberal, accelerating the social entropy of the society, and there by diminishing its "creative" and "expansive" energy.[66][67]

Other animals

[edit]
Further information:Animal sexual behaviourandExtra-pair copulation

Many animal species, such asspotted hyenas,[68]pigs,[69]bonobos[70]andchimpanzees,are promiscuous as a rule, and do not formpair bonds.Although social monogamy occurs in about 90% of avian species and about 3% ofmammalianspecies, an estimated 90% of socially monogamous species exhibit individual promiscuity in the form ofcopulation outside the pair bond.[4][71][72]

In the animal world, some species, including birds such asswansand fish such asNeolamprologus pulcher,once believedmonogamous,are now known to engage inextra-pair copulations.One example of extra-pair fertilization (EPF) in birds is theblack-throated blue warblers.Though it is a socially monogamous species, both males and females engage in EPF.[73]

The Darwin-Bateman paradigm, which states that males are typically eager to copulate while females are more choosy about whom to mate with, has been confirmed by ameta-analysis.[74]
