Rocky Horror Picture Show

I really don't get the title. Rocky wasn't even a big part of the story.
The film brought up a really good question though. Is promiscuity evil? Dr. Frank was the pinnacle of promiscuity in this film. He was also a murderer, cruel, and slightly(understatement?) insane. Yet, the audience can't help but love him. What is the message the author was trying to get across?

I don't think this movie was about promiscuity. I think more the issue is more hedonism in general, because Dr. Frank N. Furter isn't just a space slut, he's also as Ivory pointed out a murder and I'm sure several other excess can be attributed to him. I think, that like Brad and Janet, people can give themselves over to pleasure, but only for a time and from time to time, they really have to live in the real world or they hurt people and will share Dr. Frank N. Furter's fate.
