Mojo, I wasn't promiscuous in high school either but, boy, I wanted to be. I wanted sex and I didn't do a very good job of hiding that fact. I did hold out until college but I was always amazed at the "stories" that circulated about me, none of which were true. Seems that if you are a girl who does not put on the (mostly fake) act of hating sex, then you get a reputation.
Bolete, here is my opinion on promiscuity. I do not believe for ONE MINUTE that the majority of promiscuous young girls are that way because they love sex. In fact, I would say that they are like that because they hate themselves. Their low self esteem causes them to seek out validation and "love" with their bodies. They feel wanted and desired. Either that, or they have been abused. It is far too much of a leap to say that being promiscuous in hs is a sign of a future HD woman!
I think the big difference is that...while I always DID say the usual "we've gotta stop" as a young teen, I never wanted to! Ever.
But I do believe that people are born with their sex drives. I am sure that I have always been HD. I don't ever remember a time when I wasn't. Although Cathy's story is scaring the crud outta me. What a nightmare! To escape a sexless marriage and then be completely overwhelmed by a new lover. Ugh! Reminds me of that saying, Be careful what you wish for..
