Public University’s Sex Week Includes ‘Negotiating Successful Threesomes’ Event

:lol:

Okay. So we've rather clearly demonstrated at this point that neither of you are aware of the normal definition of the word "promiscuous."

Promiscuous


i.e. "Casual sex."

i.e. i.e. "Any sex outside of a committed relationship."

And we've also demonstrated that Sangha needs to brush up both on his knowledge of basic history, and his knowledge of simple statistics (and pretty much everything else, while he's at it).

Anything I'm forgetting here? :lol:

Yes. "with a number of partners."

And you forgot to post numbers on STD statistics.

Yes

You forgot to show where those lectures are promoting promiscuous sex
 
Yes

You forgot to show where those lectures are promoting promiscuous sex

He also forgot to read complete sentences.
 
Yes

Yes. "with a number of partners."

Again, the functional definition of the term is as follows.

i.e. "Casual sex."

i.e. i.e. "Any sex outside of a committed relationship."

If you don't like it, tough sh*t. That is how normal people use the word.

Both threesomes and "one night stands" qualify.

A greater level of success in facilitating both was precisely what the courses offered by the university were promising. Ergo, they were teaching "promiscuous" behavior, as commonly defined.

Clear, or must I break it down further for you?

And you forgot to post numbers on STD statistics.

I have posted them many times before. I would suggest that you read the thread.

CDC Fact Sheet 2013 - Incidence, Prevalence, and Cost of Sexually Transmitted Infections in the United States

IOW, even after reading and posting the definition, you still don't know what the word "promiscuous" means

Pray tell, what parts of...

1.
characterized by or involving indiscriminate mingling or association, especially having sexual relations with a number of partners on a casual basis.

And...

4.
casual; irregular; haphazard.

Did you not understand?

Both one night stands and threesomes are "casual; irregular; and haphazard," and both represent "indiscriminate mingling and association" in that they take place outside the confines of a normal, monogamous relationship.

The case is cut and dry. Either both are "promiscuous," or the very word "promiscuous" is plainly devoid of any serious meaning.

The latter clearly is not the case, so the only conclusion we are left with is that you are either incorrect, or simply playing stupid in order to avoid conceding the point.

Perhaps you should take the time to discover what words actually mean before shooting your mouth off, no?

Threesomes do not have to be casual and there was no classes on one night stands

Casual sex is not necessarily indiscriminate. Even (most) people who have many partners pick their partners with care. A drunk who has sex with whoever is still at the bar at closing time is indiscriminate.
 
Yes, they do.

Anything other than a monogamous relationship is "casual" by way of contrast.



"How to get laid while still being a gentleman."

You lose. Again.

Polyamorous people and many others who have threesomes typically spend a lot of time negotiating the parameters and carefully choosing their partners. Some of them have long term triad relationships.
 
Yes, they do.

Anything other than a monogamous relationship is "casual" by way of contrast.

If a man in a polygamous society marries two women he has known all of his life (or theirs) there is nothing "casual" about it



"How to get laid while still being a gentleman."

Gentlemen can only get laid on a one night stand? :screwy

The above is debatable.

Regardless, however, so long as the sex is "casual," it is still "promiscuous."

Polyamorous people and many others who have threesomes typically spend a lot of time negotiating the parameters and carefully choosing their partners. Some of them have long term triad relationships.

Frankly, I'd argue that polyamory is "promiscuous," at least in comparison to a monogamous relationship, or polygamous marriage.

Either way, such arrangements tend to be rare, and almost certainly were not what the university course had in mind.

If a man in a polygamous society marries two women he has known all of his life (or theirs) there is nothing "casual" about it

I'm sorry. Were any of these courses titled "How to have a polygamous marriage?"

I don't think they were.

Gentlemen can only get laid on a one night stand?

Gentlemen need a class to tell them how to have sex with their wives and girlfriends?

Stop tap dancing around the obvious. If the class was about marriage, dating, or committed relationships in general, the title would have said so, and the word "laid" would have never even entered the equation.

The class is explicitly meant to attract young, single men looking to "hook-up." Anyone who doesn't believe that is both stupid and delusional.

Look it up. Rates for just about every major crime out there are lower in the military than outside of it.

Drug usage and sexual assault are lower as well.

Suicide is about even, and alcohol and tobacco usage are greater. However, a certain degree of that is to be expected given the age range involved, and the effects of PTSD in soldiers returning home from war plays a large role as well.

:lamo

Needless to say, the historical record says otherwise.

It took just fifty years of "sexual liberation" for STDs to go from being a minor annoyance relegated to the dregs of our society, to a deadly fact of life for all segments of the American population. In the same span of time, single parenthood went from being rare, to being almost as common as married life (and actually more common, in demographics at or under thirty years of age).

Please, do tell, how any of that has anything whatsoever to do with "repression." :roll:

Frankly, I wish people were more "repressed." If that were the case, we might actually get somewhere in combating all these problems! :lol:

Having premarital, unsafe sex is not a crime. Sailors do it a lot. That is the point. You are the one that is placing assumptions onto these seminars or onto college students that are not realistic, then excuse the military members from these by claiming they would never do things that you assume all or most college students are doing. I know better. I've been the "college age" sailor in a place like Seattle (where I celebrated my 21st birthday in fact), with plenty of college students and sailors. Lots of people doing lots of things. We showed up hung over to duty and watch (again, my 21st birthday, at least for the duty part, I made a deal to get off watch for the day). Some people were drunk on watch (I was part of a watch team that relieved an entire watch team once that was drunk still after spending 6 hours on watch). We had a guy eat mushrooms on or just before watch who thought he had lost his thumbs (he actually told the watch officer that he was looking for them which raised alarms).

I never said that it wasn't "legal." I said that military service members have different expectations placed on them, and are held to different standards than college students, which results in a noticeably different culture.

That much is undeniable.

Sure, you can still **** around in the military. However, you have to watch where, when, how, and with whom you do so, or risk getting into quite a bit of trouble.

The only thing you have established is that you don't understand what the word means

One of us has certainly demonstrated that. However, I can assure you that it isn't me. :lol:

The better question is why you are apparently so repulsed by the word in the first place. Aren't you Leftist types supposed to be all about that kind of thing?

"If it feels good, do it," no? :roll:

Frankly, I find it rather telling that you're all so averse to calling a "spade a spade" here in the first place.

What are you so ashamed of, eh? ;)

You won't get into really anymore trouble for being promiscuous in the military than outside the military, as a college student. It is considered a cultural norm to be that way in many places in the military, much more so than in college even.

You certainly can get in trouble for getting pregnant (or getting a girl pregnant) at an inopportune time, or for sleeping with the wrong person. "Adultery," for instance, is actually a crime punishable under the UCMJ.

Now, again, I never said that military members couldn't be promiscuous. Hell! The only time I've ever really been "promiscuous" myself, for however brief a period it might have been, was in the military.

I'm simply saying that it isn't quite the same "free-for-all" culture that you're going to find on college campuses. There are differences.

You're as wrong about liberalism as you are about promiscuity

No, I don't think I am.

As a matter of fact, I'm just about positive that I've hit the nail right on the head. :lol:

There's seems to be as much rape in both

There is some controversy over that. The military rate was actually lower than that for the civilian population right up until the Obama Administration started raising a fuss a few years ago.

After that (and he started dismissing people left and right for not asking 'how high' whenever he told them to jump :roll: ) this ludicrously high new rate of "unreported cases" magically appeared out of thin air, and all the political pundits and feminists in Washington started wringing their hands over the so called "rape epidemic in the military."

Personally, I suspect that it's largely a politically motivated witch-hunt, like most of the rest of what's come out of our current President's dealings with the military.
