You really don't think that mind-set is rooted in/came from religion?

I'm not religious at all, and I am not interested in having sex without love and commitment. I don't want to risk being taken advantage of or treated with disrespect, or doing the same to someone else.

That's not to say that I object to other people having sex with multiple partners. It's just not for me.

It's the "objecting to other people" that rkzenrage was attributing to religion.

Right, but (wow, it's a struggle to phrase this coherently) to say that any objection to other people having promiscuous sex must derive from religion, implies that the only arguments against promiscuous sex are those derived from religion. I was pointing out that there are non-religious reasons to object to promiscuous sex, and that the choice to make that a matter of personal behavior or one of public judgement is more based on personality than anything else.

As to the fact that women are more looked down on for having multiple partners, religion is obviously a factor in that, but I don't believe that it is the only factor.

Then you are not who we are discussing. We are talking about people who get their noses out of joint about women with a healthy sex-drive.
You just helped make my case.
