Ahhh...the subject of sexual promiscuity.....

I have a question for guys.....

Would you object if you found out your 'serious' girlfriend had slept with in excess of 10-13 different guys? Would this make you any less likely to want to marry her?

For women: Does the amount of girls a man has slept with sway you one way or the other? Would you object or be turned on to a number of women he has slept with?"

It would make me seriously consider my decision to marry her. I probably would not want to marry her. I know the past is the past and we all make mistakes, but since I view non-marital sex as wrong, 10-13 sounds less like a mistake and more like a lifestyle. I just couldn't bring myself to marry her.
 
I'd definitely marry her! I love a girl with experience!

I certainly do not view pre-marital sex as wrong.......
If I did, I would certainly be on the wrong many many times.....
I know it's hyporcitical. I have slept with a fair number of women in my life.....but I wouldn't want the woman I marry to have had over 10 sexual partners...even over 4 or 5 I kind of don't like... I say this knowing I have a double standard, but, what can I say, that is just how I feel.....
Are there any other guys (much respect to 80s U2is Best -- I respect your view on pre-marital sex in general as I come from an Irish Catholic family) who actually believe and have pre-marital sex who have these contradictory feelings??????????

1. If he's sleeping with GIRLS, he should be arrested.
2. It depends on how many women he's slept with and for how long. If these have been serious relationships, and the number is reasonable (3-4), not that big of a deal. But, if he's a whore and sleeps around to prove what a stud he is, he can get the hell out of my life.
3. This has no bearing on my life right now. I've been married for a while and have no intention of unmarried.So I will shut up.

Let's say a person (man or woman) has had about 30 sex partners..Do you guys think this person can ever actually fall in love with anyone? What would you all worry about..besides if they have contracted a STD or HIV??

They obviously have a serious commitment problem. The root of this problem should be explored, if at all possible. It must be discovered and considered before any serious commitment is made to ensure that the other person in question doesn't end up as the space between partner number #30 and partner #32.

It is possible for this promiscuos person to fall in love, but their partner should take extreme care in developing any kind of long term relationship with them and have a clear idea of the issues the other person is facing before they go too far.

Hitman admits he has a double standard...I wonder why this is true of so many men? Why do they have a problem with this?

Why should it matter? They admit its not a religious thing...is it a cultural thing?

It's a guy thing. And guys, don't get all bent out of shape. Some of you don't have the problem, but many of you do.

If one girl was enough for a guy then this wouldn't be a problem. True of girls being satisfied with one guy, too. Why is it some people just can't be satisfied with one person? It must be the whole 'thrill' of variety, or something... And I'm not speaking of everyone in general, just a select amount.

I once heard it said (and please don't think strangely of me for quoting this) that it's a good thing guys have two nuts, 'cause one is never enough.

I have come across guys with high partner numbers, and I certainly don't look down on them as people, rather if I were to consider a relationship with them it would play a large factor in my decision. It would naturally lower your sense of trust and faith in the relationship working out. If someone has a very 'fickle' past with relathionships, flings, whatever--then it may be hard for this person to settle. But also I do believe in giving everyone a chance to redeem themselves. The past does not tell a tale. I just make sure a person has the right intentions, and if they tell you they have changed, make sure it's not just a line they're putting before you.

If a 20 year old guy had 10 partners previously, hes a hewhore. But if the guy was say 60, its suddenly not as strange.

I also dont agree that a guy that has had a lot of partners cant fall in love. Same with girls.

I also reckon ppl shouldnt sleep around, but if they, no biggie, Im not looking to hook up with no hewhore, so it makes no diff to me.

Im a Harem Girl by trade only. And only to Nic Cage and Elvis.
 
I can understand the allure of having sex often. I mean, in all honesty, sex is extremely enjoyable!

However, I simply can't conceive of making love with someone I don't care deeply about. For me, the pleasure derived from it is secondary to the intense connection and intimacy with the other person. I really can't think of a way to be more intimate with someone than to make love to them. It's like saying "I love you so much that I give myself completely over to you - mind, heart, body."

So to answer the question, I would be a little worried if my girlfriend had a lot of past sexual partners, but the main thing that makes the difference is if those were from serious relationships or not. If it was sex just to get off, then I would need to have a good long talk.

Ah that was sweet Diemen. You've managed to restore my faith in the male species!!

10 previous sex partners is probably pretty average for a single woman around 30 years of age. But to be honest, I have never asked that question. By the time I get around to wanting to sleep with someone, I know them well enough to have a good idea of what their character is, so I never get any unpleasant surprises that way.

You can catch HIV/STD/VD from anyone - so if you're only worried about that when you have an "experienced" partner, you probably need to reevaluate the precautions you take.

BTW, I'm okay with sex before marriage. I've been told I'm not "marriage material", so I would be pretty sad by now if I had waited, LOL!

Is this true? I hope not!
 
Oh, what do I know? I'm only guessing. I'm nowhere near there, but then again, I'm incredibly boring.

Then there should be more "boring" people like you! :)
 
This is a tough one... 10-13 partners is a lot. However, I think the more important question involves trust. If some of those relationships were one night stands, or incidents of infidelity, it's certainly much worse than if they were all monogamous.

I'm sorry if this sounds crude, but I don't think I'd marry anyone without a "test drive". Not that I think I'll ever get married.
 
I believe that love transcends sexual history. If you can't get over her past, you have no business marrying her. If you really love her, her past should make no difference.

What I find a little bothersome, though, is porn stars. It's not that I think they're evil or anything. I just can't seem to grasp how a porn star can have a decent sexual relationship with his/her spouse. You'd think they'd become desensitized to it all. I mean, look at Houston, the woman who had sex with 620 people in one day. That's a lotta lovin'. Granted, it's not an everyday thing for her, but you'd think after that, she'd get turned off of sex for a few years.

Of course, I'm probably just talking out my ass. I've never done porno, so I can't really speak with authority.

Actually, most 30 year old women have only had 3 or 4 sexpartners but Klodomir by herself cranks the average up to 10.

I have no idea what the average is for a 30 year old guy, but I'm sure it's higher than it should be.

All I know is I hope to keep my number right where it is now, when I'm 30, and hopefully for the rest of my life: 1.

I don't understand this test drive stuff at all. If you're in love with someone, why the fuck would you need to test drive them? The sex is going to be good because you love them. Does anyone really believe the average person has great technique?
