I think one reason I think people can make bad associations towards open sexuality and promiscuity is that it often seems like the people who sleep around the most are messed up in one way or another:
-They have mommy or daddy issues
-They have low self-esteem and sleep around in a hopeless attempt to raise it
-They were sexually abused
-They're compulsive
-They're acting out
-They're being self-destructive
-They do a lot of drugs and hook up with people under the effects
-They're pressured into it by their partners
I've met quite a few people like that, and over the years it's tainted the idea of sleeping around in my mind. Not that I think it can't be done positively, that's just my knee-jerk reaction.
