Promiscuity




Gay author Gabriel Rotello notes the perspective of many gays that "Gay
liberation was founded . . . on a 'sexual brotherhood of promiscuity,' and
any abandonment of that promiscuity would amount to a 'communal betrayal of
gargantuan proportions.'" Rotello's perception of gay promiscuity, which he
criticizes, is consistent with survey results. A far-ranging study of
homosexual men published in 1978 revealed that 75 percent of
self-identified, white, gay men admitted to having sex with more than 100
different males in their lifetime: 15 percent claimed 100-249 sex partners;
17 percent claimed 250- 499; 15 percent claimed 500-999; and 28 percent
claimed more than 1,000 lifetime male sex partners.By 1984, after the AIDS
epidemic had taken hold, homosexual men were reportedly curtailing
promiscuity, but not by much. Instead of more than 6 partners per month in
1982, the average non-monogamous respondent in San Francisco reported having
about 4 partners per month in 1984.

In more recent years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control has reported an
upswing in promiscuity, at least among young homosexual men in San
Francisco. From 1994 to 1997, the percentage of homosexual men reporting
multiple partners and unprotected anal sex rose from 23.6 percent to 33.3
percent, with the largest increase among men under 25. Despite its
continuing incurability, AIDS no longer seems to deter individuals from
engaging in promiscuous gay sex.

The data relating to gay promiscuity were obtained from self-identified gay
men. Some advocates argue that the average would be lower if closeted
homosexuals were included in the statistics. That is likely true, according
to data obtained in a 2000 survey in Australia that tracked whether men who
had sex with men were associated with the gay community. Men who were
associated with the gay community were nearly four times as likely to have
had more than 50 sex partners in the six months preceding the survey as men
who were not associated with the gay community. This may imply that it is
riskier to be "out" than "closeted." Adopting a gay identity may create more
pressure to be promiscuous and to be so with a cohort of other more
promiscuous partners.

Excessive sexual promiscuity results in serious medical consequences -
indeed, it is a recipe for transmitting disease and generating an epidemic.
The HIV/AIDS epidemic has remained a predominantly gay issue in the U.S.
primarily because of the greater degree of promiscuity among gays. A study
based upon statistics from 1986 through 1990 estimated that 20-year-old gay
men had a 50 percent chance of becoming HIV positive by age 55. As of June
2001, nearly 64 percent of men with AIDS were men who have had sex with men.
Syphilis is also more common among gay men. The San Francisco Public Health
Department recently reported that syphilis among the city's gay and bisexual
men was at epidemic levels. According to the San Francisco Chronicle:

"Experts believe syphilis is on the rise among gay and bisexual men
because they are engaging in unprotected sex with multiple partners, many of
whom they met in anonymous situations such as sex clubs, adult bookstores,
meetings through the Internet and in bathhouses. The new data will show that
in the 93 cases involving gay and bisexual men this year, the group reported
having 1,225 sexual partners."
A study done in Baltimore and reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine
found that gay men contracted syphilis at three to four times the rate of
heterosexuals. Promiscuity is the factor most responsible for the extreme
rates of these and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases cited below, many of
which result in a shortened life span for men who have sex with men.

Promiscuity among lesbians is less extreme, but it is still higher than
among heterosexual women. Overall, women tend to have fewer sex partners
than men. But there is a surprising finding about lesbian promiscuity in the
literature. Australian investigators reported that lesbian women were 4.5
times more likely to have had more than 50 lifetime male partners than
heterosexual women (9 percent of lesbians versus 2 percent of heterosexual
women); and 93 percent of women who identified themselves as lesbian
reported a history of sex with men. Other studies similarly show that 75-90
percent of women who have sex with women have also had sex with men.
