Answer 2

Promiscuity is the practice of making relatively unselective, casual and indiscriminate choices.

The term is most commonly applied to sexual behavior, where it refers to sex that is not in the framework of a steady sexual relationship, or occurs in multiple, simultaneous sexual relationships. People who are called "promiscuous", within the scope of this usage, may actually be quite selective in their choice of sexual partners. Nonetheless, because of the popularity of this usage, the remainder of this article discusses sexual promiscuity.

Promiscuity carries with it a higher risk of contracting STDs, which is a serious health consequence; see article on Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
