Just to make sure it's clear, I haven't suddenly hopped over to the other side of the fence and begun condemning promiscuity.
I was simply providing examples of evidence a person might provide if they were against promiscuity and coming at this with a calm, cool perspective. The fact that so much of the discussion has instead focused on vague, hand wavey concepts of "moral fiber" and "emotional character" suggest these arguments are motivated more by impulse and emotion than by any serious consideration of whether promiscuity is bad or not.
For the record, watching TV also has some negative correlations with educational attainment and poverty. If you're going to use the evidence I just provided to "prove" why you'd never be with a promiscuous woman, then you'd also need to avoid women who watch TV by the exact same reasoning. And yet somehow, people don't seem to have the same instinctive, powerful objection to heavy TV watchers as they do to people with a high number of sexual partners.
