Promiscuity: Difference between revisions

Promiscuity is known to increase chances of sexually transmitted diseases and also chances of unwanted pregnancies.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1411843/</ref><ref>https://europepmc.org/backend/ptpmcrender.fcgi?accid=PMC1048071&blobtype=pdf</ref> Nonetheless, promiscuous women in the U.S. are not found to be particularly unhappy, nor are highly promiscuous men particularly happy. Data from the General Social Survey (GSS) suggests 84% of the 5% most promiscuous women were happy; further there is only a 5% greater prevalence of unhappy individuals who are extremely promiscuous compared to the rest of women.<ref>https://ifstudies.org/blog/promiscuous-america-smart-secular-and-somewhat-less-happy</ref> Swingers who engage in wife-sharing also actually report ''greater'' happiness than others.<ref>Pugliese, S. B. (2019).
