I'm a Gen Xer who lived in NYC in my early 20s and absolutely did that stuff, my friends and I seemed to have two or more partners simultaneously which was fine as long as we didn't promise exclusivity. When I hit my late 20s and wanted to settle down my behavior changed and I only looked for exclusive relationships, waiting longer to have sex. Nothing wrong with any of this as long as everyone is honest and upfront about your intentions and behavior.

I’d like to avoid moralizing here, but when did this kind of behavior become the norm? What happened to liking someone, pursuing them, and wanting just that one person?! I never had to negotiate with and interview a man to understand that we are in a relationship—an “exclusive” one! That word, or even the concept, doesn’t exist in my native language. What nonsense.

Agreed this was not the norm just 25 years ago. I’m guessing it was the internet, phones, apps that changed the culture, and I agree there’s likely to be pushback. All the driven 18 year old girls I know are looking for husbands - which is gross in its own way, but definitely a pendulum swing from the bizarre expectation the posters on this have that you should assume everyone is constantly sleeping with multiple people.
When I met dh 25 years ago, we were both young, social good looking mid 20s with an active dating and social life. Dh was a frat bro. But even then, when we met at a party and super hit it off, dh opted not to call me (he told me later) because he had just reconnected with an ex gf and hooking up with her. The unspoken thing from that being that, while he was hanging out with her, it wouldn’t have been cool to start something with me. Then we ran into each other six weeks later, I guess that girl was out of the picture, and so it was 100 percent on between us. That’s what dating was like back then with normal healthy people. Anyone seeing (or worse sleeping with) multiple ppl at once was seen as a defective cad who you wanted to avoid.
