promiscuousness
Lack of selectivity
Promiscuousness is the quality of being promiscuous—having many sexual partners without discrimination or commitment.
The word extends beyond sex to mean a general lack of selectivity: the promiscuousness of his reading habits, intellectual promiscuousness.
The noun promiscuity is more common in both senses.
