| Number of sexual partners! At what point does this seem a lot?! Posted: 10/3/2006 12:43:04 AM | Most ppl will lie, girls will say they've been with fewer then they actually have and most guys will say they've been with more.so this question is stupid.
Actually there was a study I read on newscientist.com and the results were that women just about half their partners and men tell the truth. The study worked by asking people and having the results not be anonymous and then having them be anonymous if I remember right. | |

| Number of sexual partners! At what point does this seem a lot?! Posted: 10/3/2006 3:30:11 AM | ..Honestly, I don't like the game of "how many partners"...All I see out of it is one of the partners feeling inadequte or the one with many in the past looking like a slut. Games no good. What should matter is both people are clean with no hepititus, no std's, no aids, no nothing at the current. And what the person did in the past, especially years ago shouldn't matter as long as they are not that way NOW! I have had a very wild past...I also get checked almost every year even though years ago till this day the doc.s tell me that if I were to have have anything it would have shown up years ago because I am not who I was along time ago. I get checked when its conveinient just to make sure anyway! I don't care if my woman had 100 past partners...as long as she meets the above requirements and I am the now and future! ....I will say that unless you can say you are a vigin...you better keep your mouth shut to your partner, because your partner will always wonder if they are as good as another. It just happenes! | |

And trust me, men can get weirded out by hearing that someone has had very few partners just like they can get weirded out by hearing that someone has had a lot.  | |

| Number of sexual partners! At what point does this seem a lot?! Posted: 10/7/2006 1:26:56 PM | I guess it all depends on which era you grew up in. The 60's were all about free love. Everyone gave it to everyone. The 70's was a run off of the 60's. The 80's was a dawn of a new era, AIDS. The 90's people practiced safer sex. Now that we are heading into '07 the vast majority are into safe sex. Even if you have been with one partner for an extended period.
It is not uncommon for people to add condoms to their grocery list. I sure the hell do, and I insist that he wear them. Regardless if I have my own form of birth control or not, condoms and BC go hand in hand.
So in this day and age if I were a young man or woman, and they told me they had multiple partners, it would probably raise a red flag with me. It would raise an even bigger flag, if he or she told you they didnt care if a condom was used or not. | |

| Number of sexual partners! At what point does this seem a lot?! Posted: 10/7/2006 7:42:13 PM | Well lets look at statistics. The AVERAGE number of sexual partners for a male in the United States over a life time is six. I do not know the standard deviation but it's fairly easy to assume that there are a significant number of ones and twos. So if you double the average your getting into pretty libertine territory. I don't know the average number of sexual partners for women (there are slightly more women and they live longer so it is reasonable to assume that it is less than six)
Does it matter? Depends on you. Personally I believe in at least serial monogamy. So if she is doing more than one at a time she's probably not my type of girl. If she's made a lot of poor choices but has figured out what they were and how to move on from them, then I don't think there's a problem. Quite frankly who she has become is far more important than the road that led her there. | |

id say the lower the better, sometimes it can make a relationship stronger
The strength of a relationship is built on much sterner stuff, IMHO. Number of past sexual partners I believe is IRRELEVANT. Relationships are built on friendship, trust, honesty, integrity, intimacy and loyalty.  | |

| Number of sexual partners! At what point does this seem a lot?! Posted: 10/10/2006 12:57:14 PM | | when I married my wife who has been deceased 4 years now she told me she was married 5 times before making me number 6. She married the first guy right after HS so I would guess she had 30 or so lovers in her life. Just made me work harder to keep her pleased and I was more creative and I had the best time in the world doing that!!! Who cares anyway, she asked me to marry her so that should say something. | |

| Number of sexual partners! At what point does this seem a lot?! Posted: 10/10/2006 1:39:13 PM | | This thread is hilarious! Especially the posts where they say they have been with over a 100 partners!! and they think they are clean....yeah right!! Chances are your spreading HPV and Herpes all over the place. At what point does it seem alot? The point where you think they are a s**t, and thats male or female. Me? about 25 over 19 years, is it alot.....yes! Cause every time that number goes up its a sign of another failed relationship. | |

I think, it's just called keep your mouth shut and everyone will be happy kinda thing!
w/e, the question is inevitable. It will come up one day, and you either tell the truth.. or hold it back, and you know it will bug either one of you. The "ex" topic tend to lead to it.. heh

people have sex for different reasons at different times in their lives.
You c an be with the same guy for 23 years and not until u split and sleep with someone else then you realise what u have missed all these years!
Im very safe and having the best time of my life and I stopped counting now !!!!
Sex is just the best thing ever | |

| Number of sexual partners! At what point does this seem a lot?! Posted: 11/20/2006 5:42:10 PM | What is passed is passed. People of my generation who became sexually active before AIDS commonly had dozens, even hundreds of partners. It's been my experience that the ones with a lot of mileage under their belt have a higher skill level so let the good times roll. | |

| Number of sexual partners! At what point does this seem a lot?! Posted: 11/20/2006 8:42:03 PM | Ha, I think once a person is shy to say their numbers .. then its too much. It's all a matter of the person as well... We're in a highly polygamous world now, so you really can't base things on the number game. If I had to put a number on it, 20+ is getting high.
The real question is, "When is it a too little amount of partners?" - I've been with one person, most people have a hard time understanding that. - Anyone relate with this? Haha | |
