whoring around
Indiscriminate sexual encounters
Whoring around means having casual sex with multiple partners, usually implying promiscuity without emotional attachment.
The term is crude and judgmental, often applied disparagingly to women but used for anyone perceived as sexually indiscriminate: He spent his twenties whoring around before settling down.
Sometimes extended to mean wasting time on frivolous pursuits.
