It means dating around a lot with different people as opposed to dating one person steadiliy.
It might not involve sex, but the term sort of suggests a loose behavior and a general disregard for people's feelings (whether or not that's actually the case with any given individual).

This is usually applied to someone who's known to change personal partners on a fairly often basis.
However, it can also mean someone who's simply checking out various options before making a decision, and not necessarily sexually indiscriminate.

She has been with multiple sex partners. Not exactly a compliment.
