I hate promiscuity. I don't understand how people can respect themselves after jumping into the sack with a million people, or for that matter, boinking someone that they hardly know. C'mon now. Where has all the self-respect and dignity gone? Omigod, did I just say a dirty word? I mean, there are always going to be those people who don't give a shit or are just too plain dumb to know any better. But, it seems lately that promiscuity is the accepted thing, perhaps even the encouraged thing. What happened to waiting for that special someone? Or at the very least, harboring some kind of mushy feeling for the other person? Now, it's all about doing it with anyone and everyone. Who cares if you don't love them, or care for them, or have even the slightest atrraction to them? It really sickens me. People meeting and screwing on the first date, like in the God awful movie I saw in the UA theater on Friday night. No shame. Why the hell would you screw someone on the first date, unless all you wanted was some instant gratification and a realization that "God, I'm a slut." I mean, what's left? Screw someone on the first date and there's nothing left...no mystery, no intrigue, no giddy curiosity, no butterflies in your stomach. You've already given away the most intense and emotion-filled experience you can offer another person. So, unless you're seriously in love with this person, there's nothing to look forward to. Although she's hideous, Cameron Diaz said it best in "Vanilla Sky": "When you sleep with someone, your body makes a promise to them..." Why would you want your body making so many promises to so many people or even to one person who isn't worthy of it? Being promiscuous is fine I suppose...just don't expect to get any respect or to land someone who's truly decent. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't give myself away so easily.
