I don't see anything wrong with young men sowing their wild oats before they settle down, just falling in love and marrying the first woman you spark any chemistry with is reckless.
Agreed; but continuing that behavior after one has acquired the maturity to marry and settle down is dishonorable, callous, and destructive. What is at least understandable (if a bit crass) when one is twenty and single, is another matter entirely when one is forty and married, with children. He who cannot find a woman he loves enough to remain faithful to her, does better to remain single. Over a lifetime, I have known and loved enough women, to understand that they are people, not toys to be played with and discarded. I had rather treat a whore like a lady, than to ever treat a lady like a whore.
