Ok, didn't see this in any threads I searched for, so I would like to post this for debate...

I've talked with someone recently who sparked my curiosity about stigma's associated with dating while in the lifestyle.

For a male to seek out and meet multiple female contacts, get to know them, even play with them. Most of the time, a negative stigma doesn't get associated with the male seeking this time of activity out (not that I know of anyway, hence the posting of this thread).

My curiosity comes where women are concerned. What are people's perception about women, Domme or sub, that engage in dating with multiple contacts at the same time over a period of weeks or even months? If a woman is seeing 2, 3 or even 4 separate men, does that have a negative impact on her reputation? Do people perceive this as 'whorish' or 'loose' in some way?

I am going to add a poll to this, so that people can give input without worry of their view being the only one.

I am curious to know how the community feels about this.
