Does the persons sexual history (number of sexual partners) matter when considering MARRIAGE or LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP?

If you answer yes......How many partners would you say are too much?

This topic has been done. Some people care greatly, and some care very little if at all. It depends on the individual, their attitudes, and their own prior experiences. Beyond that, you get personal opinions that may not apply to you whatsoever.

Hey, maybe you can solve this with differential equations! What are your boundary conditions?

Yes, and I don't know what the number would be. Why? I find that most women I meet who are very sexually liberal usually aren't that compatible with me. Yeah, if I met a girl who rocked my world but slept with 100 guys I'd probably make an exception, but we can shoot off hypotheticals all day

I don't think I'd ever ask how many partners a woman has had though. As long as she has a clean bill of health we're good. Like I said, most women who are very sexually liberal just don't click with me, so it kinda takes care of itself.

And before anyone asks, yes, men can be whorish too. And much like women, I find I usually don't get along with manwhores too well either... because it's usually a certain personality that enables them to be such lotharios. But hey, to each their own, if someone wants to sleep with lots of people it's their life not mine.

Doesn't matter to me, as long as he's faithful and clean.

Although, I did talk to a guy online not too long ago (through a dating site) where he bragged that he was 'well into the 3 figures' and poked fun at me for having much, MUCH less experience. I don't think I cared as much about his number as the blatant disregard he had for using women just for sex. He freely admitted lying to women to get them into bed and I'm just not okay with that.

No. Not to me. I think the age of the people involved shapes that attitude though. That said, there is no reason on earth to ever ask or tell the number of partners of either party. Private personal experiences should not be opened to public scrutiny.

It's not the number that would matter as much as whether it was ONS or casual encounters.

I could not be with someone who viewed sex as a sport with no emotional connection.

In general, when you get to those higher numbers the likelyhood that they were ONS or casual sex is greater.

I've never known, or more specifically been romantically involved with, a man who cares to ask.

I've never asked a guy and no guy has ever asked me. It doesn't matter to most people. As long as he's healthy then who cares.
