I would agree that most Western women are not just sleeping with random strangers. I must add, though, that I do not know of one single woman of my peer group in my past or present who waited until marriage to have sex. I know of a girl who is still a virgin at 27 and is mocked by her friends behind her back for this fact. From my understanding, she is only a virgin because there has not been an opportunity not due to religious beliefs against premarital sex. From my peer group (notice that I keep using that frame of reference), anyone who is in any kind of somewhat serious relationship is having sex with that person. At my age, anyone who has been with a person for three or more months is most likely having sex with them. Many of my male friends would cheat on their girlfriends if they thought they could get away with it. Some did it even when they knew they would not get away with it.
It is difficult to deny one's sexuality when it is what is marketed. It is a manner by how Western people define themselves. Women want to look good in a bathing suit. So they can swim better? Men want ripped abs. So they can breathe better? A healthy level of bodyfat usually does not show really defined abs or super skinny legs, yet this is what is pursued. Usually in vain. Most of the people I know are unhappy with their body. This sounds like a lack of freedom to me, to have one's perception of self negatively affected by the media. Orgies are not happening in the streets but I do not know of anyone who is 100% satisfied with their physical appearance, no one. I include myself.
Just spouting.
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
