Do you think you should sleep around when you're younger?

Do you think you should sow your oats before settling down?

I've heard several people say this. They say you should sleep around while you're young, before settling down, so that when you do settle down, you don't feel like you've missed out on being with other people, or so that you don't cheat on your partner because you need to sleep with others.

  • you want to set an example for your kids when you settle down. anything you do now can be held against you and you're viewed as a hypocrite. you should think this through.

    • Why viewed as a hypocrite?

    • because, you can't tell your children off in the future if you did the exact same thing.

  • I don't think it's good to sleep around because of STD's and everything but I think you should have some dating experience & know what you want before settling down.

  • Yes - because a person like me with an active imagination will fantasise and I am glad I have de-mystified sex and casual relationships.
    Now I know that my partner is the best and no one out there is worth loosing him for.
    Also, I know what I like and my partner happens to fit the criteria experience has taught me.

    One thing I can guarantee is that I will never be unfaithful.
    Not for moral reasons.. but because there is not point ! lol

    • Have you considered becoming an English teacher?

  • honestly to each their own.

  • B is probably the most correct thing, but even going out with multiple people is not an absolute must.
    Sleeping around I'd never do, for sure :o

  • Not necessarily … a lot of people decide to stay with their very first or second partner for life. I think a lot of it's to do with getting in to a relationship and thinking it'll be long term, and it just doesn't work out how you thought. So you carry on meeting people who you may fall in love with, and it often doesn't work out, and eventually you find your long term partner.

  • I'd say date around certainly, and if everyone is cool with it sleep around.

    Thing I've noticed amongst my friends, the ones who settled down early (one girlfriend at 18-21 until now) have ended up having serious fantasies about getting with attractive women everywhere. I was on a bachelor party last week and it was disturbing the indifference they treated their spouses with - let's just say they crossed lines.

    There was a huge difference between us who did have fun when we were younger and those who didn't. It was so obvious that we all had a discussion about it.

  • Nah, you devalue yourself massively.

  • If there is one thing we are sure about in this god forsaken life... is that our soul/body is here to experience things... otherwise are you really living?

    With that, if you so choose to, a healthy constructive amount of sex is a good thing. It seems to have a positive effect on people growing up

  • I voted A. Get out there, get some dating and sexual experience under your belt before you settle down.

    Most people that don't experience enough when they are younger, end up wanting to "experiment" later (even if said person is married).

    • I'm sure you won't mind if you end up getting married to a slut

    • Better than dating a sexually repressed prude who ends up cheating

  • That logic makes no sense to me.

  • I dont see why

  • yes you should experience others

  • No, I see no point in that

  • men - yes
    women - no

    say what you want, men who sleep around often make better partners
    while slutty women are far from that if anything.

    iam gonna get so much hate but fk it iam not here to please anyone

    • I love you man, because you did not fear getting attacked by feminist idiots and you spoke the absolute fucking TRUTH

    • @Hungry_Shark its just how i see it playin in real life outside of the internet , guys who sleep around still get married and they often search for younger virgin girls and these girls love them as well its like being a guy and having sex means nothing at all girls dont care and even prefer it and are proud to be dating the guy who other girls want. Now as a girl the same guy who had sex with you will call you a slut, and brag about pushing his dick so far down your throat he could see it in your neck, girls who sleep around and never repsected, they can can cry as much as they want but no one respects them or takes them seriously unless its a guy with no options at all and he has to settle for such a girl. we keep repeating it but no one really listens, i have friends and non of them respects the girls they had sex with, in fact once a girl gives head at least 5-10 other guys will know in a matter of a couple days.

    • You are so darn right, There was this chic who slept with entire town and then she meets my handsome rich tall friend and starts acting all loyal and pure, But my friend ain't an idiot who will make this slit his girlfriend, These women are just good for sex and then they should be tossed aside like garbage, I completely agree that even players want pure virgin girls to marry and settle down

  • Yes, sleep around before settling down or you'll do AND /OR regret it after settling down.

  • Been clubbin, sleepin around since I'm 18. My road to catchin cooties is still in play bruh

  • I don't think it's mandatory for anyone

  • I wouldn't say it's important to sleep around, but I would say if you have a strong desire for sex you absolutely should be having a lot of it. Whether that's with a lot of different people or with an exclusive partner is up to the individual, but I think it's a bad idea to abstain if that's not true to who you are.
