ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Female promiscuity

Imagine going to the park and playing with your different friends every day. Sometimes you play with Sara, sometimes with Emily, and sometimes with Laura. This is like being promiscuous, which means having many different friends to play with.

Just like how some kids like to have many different friends, some grown-ups like to have many different romantic partners. When a girl has many different boyfriends or sexual partners, we call it female promiscuity. It’s just a fancy way of saying that she has had lots of different partners.

Now, everyone has the freedom to choose how many friends or partners they want to have, just like you can choose who to play with at the park. However, some people might judge a person who has many partners and say things that aren’t very nice. It is important to remember that everyone is different and just because someone has had many partners doesn’t make them a bad person.

In the end, what’s important is that everyone treats each other with kindness and respect, no matter how many partners they choose to have.
