Are you sowing your wild oats? Sowing one’s wild oats is common among 20-somethings who feel they are too young to be monogamous. They want to play the field and shop around before settling down.
The term ‘sow your wild oats’ originated from Europe and basically compares pre-marital hanky pankies to wastefully planting oats in the wild, rather than on a fenced-in, well-ploughed farm fields. Some people believe that they need to have sex with as many partners as possible before getting married.
