Although true promiscuity, or highly indiscriminate sexual participation, is rare in human history, plural sexuality in a somewhat casual manner has been part of the Amer scene since colonial days & is still very much with us. At the present time, nonmonogamous indulgence appears to be increasing, esp on the part of educated & Mc F's; & the pronounced feelings of anxiety, guilt, & depression that once resulted from premarital & extramarital promiscuity are being considerably reduced. A recent development has been the advocacy & practice of group love as well as group sex relations by certain segments of our pop. Several important factors have encouraged Amer sexual promiscuity during the last decade, including technological advances, marital disillusionment, SP alienation, increasing libertarianism, & the involvement of many individuals in intensive psycho-therapy. While some authorities feel that promiscuous sex is thoroughly incompatible with mental health, others take the view that it is not. There seem to be both healthy & disturbed reasons why certain individuals freely engage in a variety of sex-love affairs. Though sexual promiscuity in the US will probably not grow by leaps & bounds in the near future, there are indications that a slow advance to new levels of sane & enlightened sexual freedom is likely to occur.
