OP, you made that assertion and everybody seems to have just accepted it as true. As for myself, I find that women just can't resist talking about at least their last (last few) relationships, including the sex. I really don't care to hear about it. And I don't feel that the girl currently in my life needs all kinds of lurid details about my past sexual escapades, either. Unfortunately, my unwillingness to listen to the last girlfriend exorcise her demons re. her last ex, has made ME her last ex. I guess we live and learn.

all men want to have sex but they all want to marry a virgin


Well said,"mac390",coz i think this statement holds true for a LOT if men,even if they dont want to admit it.
Then there are the men who dont subscribe to this way of thinking at all !
Ive never asked a guy about his sexual history,coz its of no relevance to me at all.
Interesting to see the different stances on this subject,by both genders.........

In the forum here I often reference from past experiences, but it is in no way meant to be bragging. I often describe experiences with other women, but I never name them or give exact dates. In spite of this, one lady I messaged had a problem with it. She did not want anything to do with me, saying that she was wondering what I would write about her. Ha ha ha.

Ya know here's a real simple and basic concept folks:

Don't ask questions you really don't want to know the answer to.

It's just that simple, and sometimes a little selective ignorance is a good thing.

For those of you arguing that sex to you is a "selective and sacred bond" or "trust" when you DO ask that question of your partner, you're really asking them to violate that bond/trust with every other person they've ever shared it with.

How can you possibly ask someone to violate a trust with another person, and then demand they don't violate it with you, and then pat them on the back for the hipocricy? Serioulsy, wtf is your head at?

The lady that I am currently seeing and I both know we've been around the block a few times, and neither of us is the lowest mileage car on the lot. Neither of us really wants to check the odometer, we've more concered with the body work, wiring and if the engines are still in good working order.

Seriously guys, get over it. Read a few books, learn a few cool things in the bedroom, rely less on her inexperience to make your inexperience acceptable, and rely more on your education and ability to bring the "A" game to the bedroom any and everytime.

It's show that the more women a guy has been with he is seen as a player "The Man" as far as women are seen as less of a women to not to be seen as such we don't give the number of men we have been with either that or the men we have been with are not men enought to be count as sexual partners . Which is why women tend to lie or hide the given number unlike men can't wait to count the numbers out.

I think some people got it wrong.
Its not a numbers game for me.
I don't care about the quantity.

I ask about her sexual past to get
a sense of her selectivity.

I know men & women who will
sleep with a stranger, just because
they're bored.

"oh, he came on to me, I didn't even think
he was cute or anything, but I was bored so I said
what the heck.."

^^^ I was talking about these kinds of people.
Obviously "this" kind of person, wouldnt be a good
match for me, because I happen to be quite picky and selective
when it comes to my sexual partners.

i'm not embarrassed at all about how many guys i have been with and will share that info in a heartbeat. If there is to be any kind of a relationship, honesty and trust must be a major building block!!
and BTW, it is 5......

Asking is a great way to find out what someone's like if you use something else with it. Like, say, finding out if a lady is a pro-choice. If she's 100% against - that's X number of people she risked having a kid with for 15 mins of fun. Not a good quality if the numbers are high & especially if she wasn't on birth control!

But you generally don't have to ask... it's pretty obvious if you're paying attention. A girl who's really, really shy about having her clothes off probably doesn't get around much. A girl who couldn't care any less about if she was naked and puts out on the first date has likely been a lot more active

Etc etc.

So far the only person who's lied to me was a girl who had only slept with two guys @ 28. Goes both ways I guess

I don't think there is anything to be embarassed about honestly discussing this issue. If it is not discussed it is very possible that thoughts relating to it will linger on in a person's mind. So, it is a good idea to bring it out in the open and get it resolved so that the couple can move past it. I personally do not care how many men (or women) a girl has been with as long as they are clean and willing to commit to me.

As other posters have already noted, double standards STILL exist!
I don't "show off" anything about my dating. Then again, I am not as young as some of the posters here.
I have nothing to prove to my little friends in the school locker room--jesus. . .what a question. . .
See if this shocks any of you barely old enough to be online by yourselves. . .Not only do I NOT show off. . .I don't go around sticking my c0ck into every pu$$y i am offered either!
It is a lot less awkward if you keep things quiet and can manage to wake up to and at least LIKE every woman you just had sex with/made love to, you know?
I have DATED a number of women BUT I have NOT shared my c0ck with all of them.

Maybe it's the same way that men will show their waistline in their photos . .
while many women will [creatively] hide theirs..!!

its this simple,

sex is easiest thing in the world for women to get; they get offers for it all the time, i.e. they have what everyone wants, she just has to choose who to give it to. Men are given credit for being able to get it from women, because there are many men out there who want to have sex w/said woman and somehow u beat out all those other guys to get sex from her. Even if a girl has slept w/50 guys, she has had the opportunity or ability to sleep w/at leat ten times as many.

so when a man gets sex from a woman he is considered cool, cus he got what everyone wants; an the more attractive or all round appealing (money/style) the more credit. Its like winning regular season games, then big high profile games, then playoff games, then championships

ok women-regular games-above average women high profile games- very attractive women w/alot going for them playoff game- the girl who is a ten-championship.

Or a male friend explained it like this men f*ck women get f8cked, u give credit to the person who did the f*cking; just like u give credit to the person who knocked someone out, not the person who got knocked out.

women don't want to be off that pedestal or want to be thought of as common or regular and one way to be thought of that is to express that alot of men have had their way w/u. It goes back to the football analogy things have levels, if everyone won championships or it was easy to win them noone would appreciate them, that is why everyone wants one cus its soo hard and even the most talented/skilled people didn't get one, so for u to get one is saying something.

sexing reg/ok chicks is cool-noone wants to not win/get any- having sex w/above avg/ good chicks-high profile games is better it shows u might be ready for the next level. Playoff games/girls who are attractive and have ish going for them shows ur elite and ready to make the next step; sleeping w/the hottest and accomplished girl shows ur this sh*t.



do i believe this, no but its what i been told

I think it has to do with: Younger female have more partners compared to when they become older, there is completely opposite trend for men.

I would have to agree that a number doesn't really mean anything. You can't look at someone and tell whether they've had 1 partner or 30 partners... you may however be able to tell once you get them bed with you. IMO, I would rather be with a man who knows what he wants and knows how to please a woman than one who was clueless and couldn't tell the different between vagina, clit and g-spot.

As for hiding, I don't think girls hide it, we just don't need to flaunt it in order to boost our egos. I think people who are confident in themselves don't need to show off their conquests by boasting. Its just poor taste.

I actually agree with what Isolated1 said. It's all about how society and culture perceives it. However, I know of a bunch of girls who are not at all shy about their sexual conquests and are very open about it. I actually find them to be very attractive due to their openness and honesty. It's actually a turn on for me.

It's just the rule of 3's:

If a man is telling you the number of women hes slept with, divide by 3.

If a woman is telling you how many men she's slept with, multiply by 3.


That is too flippin' funny......and true!

I think women still have the stigma of having been a slut if their sexual partners can be counted on more than one hand, men however are rapidly being branded "man whores" and we all know a few of those in our lives!

The question is "Do you reallly wanna know?-- I never ask a guy that question because I honestly do not want to know. I say it wouldn't have an effect of my opinion of him but deep down--it will. aAd guys, FYI girls will NEVER give you the right # on how many guys they've been with. It's inappropriate to ask and none of ur business in the first place! and the 3 rule is def right on :P

This thread brings up another question (and if anyone has already asked it on this thread I apologize...I haven't read all of the posts).

When in a serious relationship, and if brought up in conversation, should a couple share with each other how many partners they've had? If in love why would it be so bad to share this?

As far as why women lie about it...well that's obvious. And I can't really blame them. I think many men on the other hand include how many times they've masterbated along with the amount of women they've slept with just to get the number higher. LOL However, I can see a man who has slept with MANY MANY women telling his significant other or a woman he's interested otherwise if he feels it may scare her off.

No, that does not mean getting paid, it is simply a man who is a whore!

Being paid would mean they were a gigolo or escort! LOL

How does one get a job like that? I may want to supplement my income someday. Would I need to print out business cards? Would I have to sleep with ugly women?

Not really sure! Business cards would help but what would you print on them? Perhaps Studly Doright? LOL Best suggestion though would be a billboard! Yes you would probably have a few unsavorable clients, but hey make them buy you lots of liquor beforehand! Good luck with your new business venture!
