How to help a friend who sleeps around?

I have a friend who sleeps around, but always feels bad about it. She keeps insisting she wants to stop, then goes home with another guy. I wouldn’t worry about her if she felt okay and confident about it (as long as she was safe), but she seems to feel awful every time it happens.

How can I help her out?

Answer #1

I had the same kind of friend, and when she started telling me about hooking up with 3 guys in the same night, i finally told her how sad she was making me for her, and how important she was to her friends and family. Those guys didn’t care about her, all they wanted was a piece, and if she kept doing those things, people weren’t going to think of her as the good person that she is, but as a booty call. I let her know that she needed to respect herself and quit being irresponsible with her body (std’s… ). I told her all of this as a friend, in a non-judgemental way, only caring, and she listened to me. For about a year now, she has not been sexual with anyone, and even wants to wait to have sex again until she is married! She just needed someone that cared about her to let her know that she wasn’t a disposable person! i hope this helped! good luck with your friend!
