I added a little on "socially unacceptable".
I think we need something on what counts as "indiscriminate": as written, the page accepts the judgment of anyone who thinks someone else is being "promiscuous", regardless of how seriously they take their relationships, or how many partners they actually have. Re STD risks: many women in Africa have acquired AIDS through sex with their husbands, who are often older and have had many other partners. Should probably rephrase to make clear that this behavior risks transmitting as well as acquiring diseases. Vicki Rosenzweig, Tuesday, July 9, 2002
- Although promiscuous behaviour is often considered to be "socially unacceptable" that attribute is not part of its definition. It is also important to remember that the term has a broader context. It could be applied to many people who invested in the shares of dot-com companies in recent years. Eclecticology, Tuesday, July 9, 2002
Do we really need a list of STDs here? Let's just say "STDs, including AIDS" -- that should give some idea of the problem.
- Without saying anything about the substantives of the matter, I wonder whether the additions that deal with the epidemiology of STD's should be moved to the STD article Eclecticology, Tuesday, July 9, 2002
