Promiscuity is often denounced. I don't see it that way. It may be
(actually it certainly is) a waste of time and a manifestation of
insecurity (a need for constant reaffirmation that one is desirable) or
maybe some other similar psychology, but it in itself is not evil or a
sin or even bad karma. If it is done with the main objective being to
give one's partner pleasure, then it is actually good karma.
Where it gets ugly is when it involves infidelity (one is married or
engaged and one has promised fidelity), since then it becomes lying and
creates the likelihood of hurting someone. Of course it also becomes
ugly when precautions against disease spread and conception are not
followed carefully.
The modern college student (especially young man) in the big cities of
Vietnam finds himself in a sort of candy shop, and often prudence goes
out the window (I never heard of a prudent college student anyway). Men
are safer with multiple partners, but women can produce a danger to
themselves since some men are violently jealous after even one
tryst. This is grossly unfair, I know.
