Promiscuous: casual,
random sexual relations; in other words, involving indiscriminate mingling or
association, especially having sexual relations with a number of partners on a
casual basis. Sex is the means by which
the race projects itself into the future through children and the family. Hence,
a lot of pleasure and happiness comes from sex as nature intended it; so the
race would go on. Apparently, misused or abused, it carries with it several and
heavy penalties and punishments; no doubt nature has intended this also.
Unfaithfulness on the
part of a sexual partner can heavily reduce one’s survival. History and the
newspapers carry floods of instances of the violence of human passions aroused
by unfaithfulness. “Guilt” is the milder evil. Jealousy and vengeance are the greater
monsters: one never knows when they will cease to sleep. It is all very well to
speak of “being civilized” and “uninhibited” and “understanding”; no talk will
mend ruined lives. A “feeling of guilt” is nowhere near as sharp as a knife in
the back or ground glass in the soup.
More so, there is the
question of health. If you do not insist upon faithfulness from a sexual
partner, you expose yourself to disease. For a very brief period, it was said
that sexual diseases were all under control. Now, that is not the case, if it
ever was. Incurable strains of such diseases now exist.
The problems of sexual
misbehaviour are not new. The powerful religion of Buddhism in India vanished
from there in the seventh century. According to its own historians, the cause
was sexual promiscuity in its monasteries. More modernly, when sexual
promiscuity becomes prevalent in an organization, commercial or otherwise, the
organization can be seen to fail. No matter how civilized their discussions
about it, families shatter in the face of unfaithfulness.
The urge of the moment
can become the sorrow of a lifetime. Impress those around you with that and
safeguard your own health and pleasure. However, sex is a big step on the way
to happiness and joy. There is nothing wrong with it if it is followed with
faithfulness and decency.
