The word promiscuous is a qualifying adjective that is used to designate those people who maintain sexual relations with several people at the same time or in succession, whether or not they are in stable relationships with any of the they. Promiscuity is an element that exists in many animal species and has to do with the act of satisfying sexual needs. However, in the case of humans, the phenomenon is much more complex because it not only has to do with the health risks that such activity can pose, but also because it collides with building of monogamy.
The idea of promiscuity always supposes a notion or description certainly negative of the person who carries out this way of relating on a sexual level, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman. Mainly, the negative notion arises from the fact of the health risks that being promiscuous can entail. In this sense, having sex with several people in succession implies greater risks of contagion of diseases of the
acquisition common sexual disorders, as well as other more complex ones such as HIV. In addition, it also increases the risks of pregnancy which, obviously, involves long-term complications if you do not have a stable relationship with one of these people.On the other hand, the conflict that the promiscuous person supposes also applies to the social space since although today the idea of marriage and of the eternal couple is in frank crisis in comparison with other times, it is still in force as a social construction and of the human relations the idea of the stable partner, regardless of the civil status to keep. Thus, a promiscuous person can generate conflicts in her environment by not allowing herself to establish more lasting and deeper relationships, in addition to being a turning point in a couple if the person is promiscuous while maintaining a relationship with another person who does not know about their behavior sexual.
