In a lot of ways i agree with this attitude. I am not in the position to analyze someones reasoning or claim to know why someone else engages in behaviors, and especially not condemn them. I just also wonder when can an action (not a person) be called wrong without just reverting to its wrong because "the bible says so". Promiscuousness is one of these topics. Its seems to be an issue entirely within the realm of personal choice that only effects the chooser. I think it effects a lot more though. It perpetuates a culture in which no one really wins. It also only reinforces immaturity and insecurity because they are built upon and rewarded with intimacy. If people ultimately want marriage like the statistics say, the social climate is hostile to their wishes. The stance that “I should not judge anyone’s sexual conduct except my own” is interesting.
