Does this mean they aren't really "christians"?

maybe they sleep with a partner they love....unlike peeps who meet in a club or bar.
No it doesn't make it any different...they only sleep with one person not sleep around with strangers.

A true Christian has human weaknesses just like everyone else. Sexual attraction does not cease because you love God/Jesus. But at the same time, they should not use God's grace and forgiveness as a license to fulfill whatever desire they have.
Romans 12:1-2: "....present your bodies as a living sacrifice...don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds..."
1 Corinthians 10:13: "And no temptation has seized you except what is common to man, but God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, and when temptation comes He will provide a way out...."
Romans 6:1-2: "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?"
These verses show that as Christians, sin happens, but should not be the norm.

Yes and they are Christians only frustrated with life. You have to understand that Christianity is not a simple thing to follow. That's why even Jesus gave the parable of the mustard seed. Remember the good Samaritan woman. remember what King David did. Look what Solomon did. Look what Abram did with the maid. Look what the women was accused of when she was to be stoned to dead before Jesus. Look upon the parable Jesus gave for the rich folks with a eye of the needle. Yet they bible tell us to go and multiply into this world. Even you yourself, how many have your gone out with? So they are also struggling to fulfilll all they can fulfil on this earth. Christians, Hindus, Muslims, pagans etc makes no difference

self-proclaimed christian people sleep around. yes, people sin and make mistakes everyday. but this is something if you don't want to do, then don't put yourself in the position to do it. sleeping around is a choice, not an accident.

Yes they do most of them just don't admit to it. I have a sister in law that says sex is only to procreate. They got married because she was pregnant and lied to the church so they would marry them. They claim to be devout Christians.

perhaps take the possibility to steer him returned to Christ. Jam 5:20 enable him understand, that he which converteth the sinner from the blunders of his way shall keep a soul from dying, and shall disguise a mess of sins.

No it means they are human. The only thing required of a good christian is to try not to sin. If you do ask forgiveness. God knows we all sin that is why he allows grace to save us.
