I resently read an article about promiscuity as a sexual behaviour, and I think it could be my issue. So, in that article, it was mentioned that there is a 'physiological limit' of the number of partners or something, and exeeding it is where the problems comes from. Unfoturnately, most of what I found on promiscuity covers just the description of the behaviour and a few about how to cope with the psychological damage that it causes. Probably because most of the people have problems with making a few sex rather than having much more than they can Promiscuity issue
My question is could anyone please tell me where I can get more info on this?

If you have a T that you are seeking I would suggest asking him / her for some input on where to find some good relevant information on this topic.

Good Luck........

Hey, zaj4ence, promiscuity is not a "problem" unless it interferes with your life. When that is the case it usually is indicative of something bigger. Not much is written about promiscuity except that if it is a "problem" then what is causing that problem.

When promiscuity is "studied" scientifically, it gets into human sexuality http://www.mentalhelp.net/poc/view_d...ype=book&cn=21 instead of being about individuals.

Usually an individual who feels heir promiscuity is causing problems for them or others is spoken of as having "hypersexuality":
