'''Promiscuity''' refers to mating with many different partners, possibly strangers, which is often accompanied by low mate choice standards and a high sexual drive. The opposite mating pattern is ''monogamy'' which refers to sexual exclusivity (pair boding) and often involves high mate choice standards. Promiscuity is often accompanied by a desire for '''sexual variety'''. In behavioral science the effect of becoming bored of the current mate is called '''Coolidge Effect'''. | [[File:Promiscuity.jpg|thumb]] | ||
