I was diagnosed with a personality disorder where one of the symptoms is either avoidance of intimacy or promiscuity, both of them are manifestations of this personality disorder's tendency to avoid true emotional intimacy. I am in therapy for it and this is the one symptom out of the diagnostic criteria that never applied to me (apart from the mistrust/paranoid ideation associated with it), but it's there and very common.
It begs the question. If someone is capable of having meaningless sex, are they even capable of loving and trusting someone and being able to have a functional relationship? Not "omg this whore had sex within two serious years-long relationships" because obviously that's not the same thing, but like... "this person could participate in an act intended to be life-creating with another person and completely forget about them the next day"... that is borderline sociopathy honestly.
