Quote: 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.
Honeypot, you have hit the nail directly on the head. I had my share of partners during late high school/college for that exact reason. I felt like sex was the only thing I had to offer and if I didn't offer it, I wouldn't get what I so desperately wanted, which was a true relationship. Of course, once the guys got what they wanted, that was the end of their contact with me.
Luckily, I had some good friends during my junior and senior years who finally knocked some sense into me.
