Does a bunch of casual sex have any damaging emotional effects? For me, a slut who's slept with probably more people than your own mother, the answer is not really? There are some effects! For example, I place much more importance on sexual compatibility than I used to. 1/

The excited tingle around a new sexual partner has decreased, but not always and not as much as you might think - it varies a lot per person, and the tingle levels changed way more between partners 1 and 5 than it did partners 5 and 50. 2/

Am I getting crazier in bed in a desperate search of novelty? ...kinda? But also not? It's hard to differentiate this from just passage of time, and I've been gotten more vanilla in some areas, but I actually think that I've been more able to pursue things I've always wanted 3/

What about emotional pair bonding? This hasnt been affected at all, but one possible downside is that I no longer feel like trying to force sexual compatibility with a partner I'm pair bonded with. My standards aren't crazy narrow, I just def want someone who's onto what I'm into

But I don't feel like... Listless dissatisfaction, I don't feel emotionally damaged in any particular way. I don't feel bad about myself for my past sluttiness, except sometimes when the world yells at me for it. I dont regret sleeping with anybody except one dude 4/

Do you think that is an aberration or does safe sex work enough that other friends with high sexual partners also manage no STDs?

I don't think it's unusual, but also I do think std rates are higher the sluttier you are. I've known one very promiscuous friend who got chlamydia twice, but then also they tended to not use protection.

The entire christian repression/molestation epidemic keeps keeps religious young people in a bad spot (i.e. molesters have higher chance of having an STD). Plus it's so stigmatized, virtually no young xians are getting tested. The abused probably believe themselves "virgins"...
