"The Indifferent" dramatizes his free love philosophy. As in "The Flea," "The Apparition," and other earlier Donne poems, his speaker professes his free-wheeling notion that there is no virtue in virginity and faithfulness to a mate. In "The Indifferent" he also employs the mythological character, the promiscuous Venus to try to persuade his victim that fidelity is a curse while promiscuity is a virtue.from Linda Sue Grimes: Suite101.com: John Donne's The Indifferent
