[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Yes, my friend's fiancé broke-off the engagement.  He couldn't stand her OCD.  She is freakishly neat and needs things in order.  She keeps an excel spreadsheet of all her "conquests," down to details and ratings!  I worry about her.  My friend said she uses protection "almost always."  [/quote]

Oh boy. "Almost always" sounds like maybe half the time. What she's doing is high risk even with condoms. Is she drunk when she's with these guys?  There's nothing inherently "wrong" with promiscuity aside from the STD risk. But the fact that this is a marked change in behavior preceded by an emotional trauma tells me that it's a problem.

The issue though is not the number of guys she's been with or what her future husband will think. The issue is whether she's really okay, or if this behavior is a sign of something wrong. Basically, is she going to regret it in the future. Maybe she needs validation from men right now after being rejected by her fiancé. But, multiple one night stands are not the way to feel better about yourself. As her friend I would try reminding her how great she is as a person, and doing fun things together that make her happy without involving guys. It's probably a post-breakup phase but it's pretty dangerous so she should stop. If she disagrees, show her my dating with herpes thread. [/quote]
