Promiscuity is a detriment to society, and it ravages the soul.

@math7 I am sorry to say, but I think you are the one who is confused with how correlation and causation work.

[quote]Arrogance itself does not result in any of the above. Rather, promiscuous behaviour is the primary cause. [/quote]

Your statement here is purely opinion that you are trying to pass off as fact. Cheating is listed as the reason for a divorce because of its one of legally allowed reasons for a divorce. Arrogance is not, however that doesn't mean arrogance in the relationship is not what lead to the cheating.

The problem here is that you are trying to state as fact links and causations that cannot be. Promiscuity plays a role in divorce, but what causes promiscuity? A HUGE variety of forces, feelings and actions going into a relationship and why it ends.

To try and simply boil it down to "its promiscuity" ... Well thats like trying to say "why does it rain" and then saying "Gravity". Technically one part of the answer, but missing SO much else.

@math7 Ah, I do love when someone is losing an argument and so decides to start direct insults.

You have a great day.

@math7 So lets say I agree that spousal cheating is the reason the vast majority of divorces. I don't know that I do, as I haven't seen any evidence, but lets go with it for now.

Spousal cheating does not equal promiscuity.

Cheating on your spouse happens for many many reasons, it's not just that one person in the relationship is promiscuous. The need for more emotional connection, the feeling that you are stuck, dead bedrooms, etc.

@math7 All those things are true even if you aren’t promiscuous.

@math7 And if you aren’t.

@SW-User monogamy was a conspiracy to break groups and disperse the population. Question of Promiscuity never arises in an otherwise free world.

@in10RjFox monogamous cultural values have survived, succeeded and advanced those societies. That's why promiscuous people have always been the historically disadvantaged and extinct ones.

It's not a false standard. It's a cultural strength not to encourage the chaos of promiscuity.

The strength of a culture is closely linked to the durability of its two parent families.

@SteelHands it survived because of government support and moral support. Not because people wanted it.

Wow 14 words... you really have been eating your alphabet spaghetti recently!!! @HipYoungDude

@Tastyfrzz Exactly!

@math7 You can have sex safely as to not acquire an STD. Infidelity has more to do with being a dishonest person than sexuality.

@math7 What do you suggest people do then? Cuz I don’t think “don’t have sex” is a good answer.

@SteelHands Thats not what she said though.

She said "promiscuity causes disease". Thats not factual. Any sex can cause disease transmittal. The type of sex it is doesn't matter. Thats a false cause.

I am sorry you are not clearly thinking.

The rest of her statements are again, not facts. The problem is that you are linking promiscuity as the last chain in the link. What should be talked about are all the reasons promiscuity happens.

As I mentioned before, its like claiming that rain happens because of gravity. Well, gravity is the last link in that chain that brings rain to us, but just saying that leaves out ALL of the rest of the water cycle.

You might want to read up on a black or white logical fallacy. Thats what we have going on in this case.

forming a logical argument, but under closer scrutiny, it becomes evident that
there are more possibilities than the either/or choice that is presented[/quote]

@Pherick picking apart words because she used brevity doesn't alter the veracity enough to parse the fact.

Increased incidence of and higher risk of the transmittal of STDs is easily understood by a thinking person.

Some thoughtful reading might help. I don't expect it from people willing to find infinite ways to argue facts, but mostly only thinking people.

That's the nice thing about actually thinking. I don't need to work hard at any of my reasoning and I don't need to care about your appraisals.

@SteelHands You are welcome to your opinions, you just need to realize that's all they are opinions.

Facts are not opinions and opinions are not facts. Facts need to have data behind, they need to stand up to debate and logic.

None of the things talked about above do that, for the reasons I mentioned.

Take care.

@math7 I think you need to get laid. You're really on edge about this.

@math7 rage much?
