Nor is a sexy snapshot of someone and their number of sexual partners enough information to form an opinion on how "good" their character is. Sexy does not = promiscuous. Many women enjoy being female and one of the most coveted female traits is being sexy, sensual, desirable. If a woman goes out to dinner with you and is wearing a sexy little black dress and heals, isn't that advertising her sexuality? How about a little string bikini on the beach? The pictures on this site reveal mush less than a bikini. By your standard, if a woman dresses and presents herself too sexual in nature, there is negative assumption of promiscuity. I love being a woman. When I am in a relationship, I am loyal and committed. I am a great mother and partner. All of my sexual experiences have been with consensual adults and I practiced safe sex. I like sex. I like dressing sexy. I think that the pictures on my site are beautiful. If all of these things make me promiscuous (negative connotation) in your eyes than I am Ok with that.

And only partially. Men definitely assume that, between two men of similar age, the one with 20 partners is a better *sexual* partner than the one with 5. Even if women don’t, men assume they must. This is likely because, while women have a double standard, men have a sort of catch 22. Women like confidence and nothing builds confidence like experience so to get confidence you need experience, but to get experience you need confidence etc. I blame unavoidable biological differences and antiquated social expectations more than one gender over the other, but for every woman who cringes at the term 'loose' there is a man who (secretly, because saying 'that hurts' does not convey confidence) does the same at the term 'limp,' to say nothing of 'small'. Do you think making 'promiscuous' more neutral would necessarily require we do the same to words like 'clumsy' or 'insecure'?
