==Religious, social, and cultural views== {{See also|Fornication}} [[Christianity]], [[Judaism]], and [[Islam]] condemn promiscuity and instead advocate lifelong monogamous marriage (although Islam allows polygamy for men).<ref>Don S. Browning, M. Christian Green, John Witte Jr.: Sex, Marriage, and Family in World Religions</ref> The perspectives on promiscuity vary significantly depending on the region. Every country has different values and morals pertaining to sexual life. Promiscuity has been practiced in [[hippie]] communities and other [[Alternative lifestyle|alternative subcultures]] since the [[Counterculture of the 1960s|1960s cultural revolution]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CpX4DQAAQBAJ|title=The Hippies: A 1960s History|first=John Anthony|last=Moretta|date=26 January 2017|publisher=McFarland|isbn=9781476627397|access-date=4 March 2022|via=Google Books}}</ref> [[Sex and Culture]] is a book by [[J. D. Unwin]] concerning the correlation between a society's level of 'cultural achievement' and its level of sexual restraint. Published in 1934, the book concluded with the theory that as societies develop, they become more sexually liberal, accelerating the social entropy of the society, and thereby diminishing its "creative" and "expansive" energy.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.eoht.info/page/Joseph+Unwin|title= Joseph Unwin|last= Carnot|first= Sadi|date= 2017|website= www.eoht.info|publisher= Hmolpedia|access-date= 4 December 2018|quote=}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last= Unwin|first= Joseph D.|date= 1934|title= Sex and Culture|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=I8YguAEACAAJ|location= |publisher= Oxford University Press|page=412 |isbn= 1979867046|author-link= J.
