Definition

Adjective: * Promiscuous; having many sexual partners: The primary meaning of "đa dục" describes a person, typically with a negative connotation, who engages in sexual activity with many different partners, showing a lack of discrimination or restraint. It is a formal or literary term. * Polysexual (rare, technical): In very specific, modern psychological or sexological contexts, it can be a translation for "polysexual," meaning sexual attraction to multiple, but not necessarily all, genders. This usage is far less common than the primary meaning.

Usage Examples
  • Adjective:
    • Anh ta bị mang tiếng là người đa dục. (He has a reputation for being promiscuous.)
    • Lối sống đa dục của hắn khiến mọi người xa lánh. (His promiscuous lifestyle made everyone avoid him.)
    • Trong một số nghiên cứu, thuật ngữ "đa dục" có thể được dùng để chỉ xu hướng tình dục đa dạng. (In some studies, the term "polysexual" may be used to refer to a diverse sexual orientation.)
Advanced Usage
  • The term is formal and carries a strong moral judgment in everyday Vietnamese. It is more common in literary, critical, or formal descriptive contexts than in casual speech.
  • When used in a modern, academic context regarding sexual orientation (polysexual), it is typically clarified to avoid confusion with the dominant pejorative meaning.
