I'm fully aware of the fact that I'm young and still growing and things change, but I'm the only girl I know who's not at all interested in a monogamous relationship. I'm sexually active and have been since I was twelve. I have lots of friends and a few close ones (both boys and girls) but the idea of only having sex with one person is completely unappealing to me. I'm smart and safe and I don't make stupid decisions but I know things happen sometimes. I have a strong sexual appetite and I'm terrified of catching something or getting pregnant even though I always safe and I'm on birth control. I wouldn't mind the idea of having a boyfriend or girlfriend but wouldn't want to be exclusive. I see how my friends are and how happy they are and I worry I'll never fall in love with one person if my tastes don't change.

Honestly, it's your body and your choice. However, keep in mind laws for one - having sex with someone not too much older than you could get them in a lot of trouble. In fact, I'm pretty sure at 15 you can't even legally consent - which makes it more important that you're having sex with someone you trust, in case anything goes wrong.
Also, if you've been having sex with a lot of different people, word might get around that you're 'easy'. I'm not trying to say you are or that those people are right, but rather that it's more likely you'll experience some form of sexual assault because someone thinks they can get with you no problem and then misread your signals. You seem to be aware of the possible issues that could arise from sexual activity, but using proper precautions should prevent that.
As for the love issue, you're only 15. A lot of girls may feel like you do and just be ashamed to admit it. It's not a horrible thing to not want a relationship and instead just to fool around and make memories, as long as you're not doing anything to compromise your safety.
All in all, be aware and make smart choices. It's your life.

That's pretty much it. Unfortunately, I already have a bad reputation and it's not innacurate. No one to blame but myself for that. I don't know. It is what it is.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with how you are right now or how you feel. I was a little slut when I was younger lol I also thought I'd never ever settle down with one girl...or guy if that was the case lol yeah I was that slutty.

You're still young though. Things eventually change over time. You just don't want to be tied down at such an early part of your life which is totally understandable. I usually tell friends that are still in HS to not take everything so seriously. Explore yourself and other people before you try to find the one. If a guy asks you out and you like him too then say yes but just communicate that you're just not ready to be exclusive yet. I would have jumped at that opportunity when I was in HS lol in the mean time keep doing what you're doing but just be careful. One day though, it may be way down the road, but you'll meet someone that'll change your life. You're probably still gunna be really horny but you're only gunna want to share it with that one person. So don't worry about it. Enjoy your life. Let adult inig happen when you're an adult lol

So, you want multiple multiple relationships so you can have sex with all of them? That seems like cheating.

It's not cheating if it's declared upfront that you wish to remain in a promiscuous lifestyle.

Not if my boyfriend or girlfriend knew it wasn't sexually exclusive. It's like an open book test. The teacher knows you have the book there.
