Promiscuity
Promiscuity is the practice of making casual, indiscriminate choices. Commonly, promiscuity is applied to the sexual behaviour of a man or woman who does not limit his or her sex life by the strictures of the regnant cultural norm, typically one sexual partner or lover, or to a long-term, monogamous sexual relationship. Given this usage's denotation, this article is about sexual promiscuity. The men and women called "promiscuous" per this usage, may, in fact, be selective in choosing with whom to copulate.
