Common though it may be among people of all ages, the practice of changing partners on a steady basis is more frequent and widespread in adolescence. Since only from experience can teenagers broaden the new horizons opening up before them, their eagerness to explore and discover their sexuality should come as no surprise. Ergo, they keep hopping from one partner to another, if only to get acquainted both with their preferences, habits and tastes and themselves as sexually active individuals.
As in most countries, Cuban men and women make their first incursion into sexual activity at an age between 15 and 19, a stage in their lives when making love and having sex become their chief concern.
The social factor is by and large what prevails in their decision-making process, so providing an early sex education and disseminating a safe-sex culture helps us counteract the risks that a young person’s lack of knowledge or “naiveté” can bring with it, including STD’s and unwanted pregnancies, which increase in proportion to the number of partners.
As indicated by the Dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language (RAE), promiscuous means “indiscriminate in the choice of sexual partners and lacking standards regarding one’s lifestyle”, etc. Throw in the fact that such attitude entails no moral or psychological problem whatsoever, since promiscuous people have no qualms about their acts and behave accordingly, making the most of their relations.
Nevertheless, beyond any moral considerations about anybody’s stock of sexual partners, a promiscuous individual usually tends to have sex with several people and is thus much more likely to get and spread an STD or get someone –or herself, in a girl’s case– undesirably pregnant.
If you want to explore yourself, go ahead and do it. It’s never too late to get to know your body, so much so when it comes to your sexuality. Feel free to choose who you want to realize your fantasies with, or how or where. Just make sure to watch your step and use condoms every time.
