Promiscuity isn't a problem if:
It's something the person wants
Isn't tied to actual destructive behavior (theft, addiction, etc.)
Protection is used (diseases are real and unwanted pregnancy generally sucks for a variety of reasons)
Beyond that, who gives a fuck (pun intended)? A sex drive is just as natural as mundane hunger, our thirst for excitement, or our need to satiate our curiosity. There's no real (as in, not made up by Middle Eastern goat fuckers who needed to ensure their lineage for political reasons) reason to treat sex as some mystical, magical, taboo thing.
People generally don't like thinking about their children eventually having sex because we've tied the ideas of innocence and purity to virginity, especially female virginity (thanks again, religion). So sex means viewing them as an adult rather than something idyllic. The thing is, it's going to happen. I don't like thinking of my 3 year old niece having sex at some point, but it's going to happen. And since it's inevitable, I'd much rather that she have comprehensive education about it, as well as access to contraception and various healthcare and family planning resources/facilities than not. Because mystifying it and simply making it taboo only makes it that much more enticing while simultaneously leaving her/them utterly unprepared for the realities of it. And that's a staggering disservice for our youth.
