How many sex partners is too many?

I think it was actually some on the dope said that heaven/hell is one big house, populated by everyone you’ve ever slept with.

I think any number than 3 is going to create logistical difficulties. How are you going to…

OH! You mean total, not concurrent! :smack:
Seriously, why should there be any such limit?

In what context? If we’re talking about one of my friends, I have no opinion on the actual number: as long as everyone concerned is happy and safe, both physically and emotionally, whatever number works for you is the right one. But in a potential partner, like **jsgoddess **said, over a certain number and I’m going to figure that we probably think of sex in different ways so we’re probably not a good match. But that number would vary depending on circumstances.

I never knew there was such a thing as “too many.” :dubious: :confused:

I agree, 1 should be an option, I still have uncomfortable emotional yearnings for every one of them, even the what was her names…

1 is too many if you’re dishonest in your amorous dealings with your partner.

50 is fine if you’re honest and having sex as safely as possible.

I just picked the next highest group after my own.

“This here new morality is destructive of th’ family, it’s contrary to th’ will o’ God, and I ain’t gettin’ any of it!”

You would have to be some kind of lunatic to try to insult people for not having 100 sex partners, or to feel insulted by the same. As far as I know, Antinor is not a lunatic.

Depends on who you ask. Hehe.

37 is where I draw the line!

Nah, I don’t care.

I’m not sure if drastic_quench was serious, but disease is certainly something to think about.

But mostly the difference is lifestyle. 600 times with the same person implies a long term, committed relationship.

600 partners for a 40 year old whose been sexually active for 25 years implies a new sexual partner (presumably a one night stand or booty call), on average, every 2 weeks. Even if you are really attractive, that still assumes a lot of time and effort going out, meeting people, working on “game”, going to places where the sort of people who sleep with people they just met hang out (typically bars and clubs), so on and so forth.

Do IOW, someone who either can’t make long term relationships work, or doesn’t care to.

I don’t mean to brag, but it’s well over 50. I was pretty wild when I first hit Thailand as a randy young man, coming here straight from the Bible Belt.

In a row?

In fact, 50 might cover my first year here. But I misread the title as “How many sexual partners have you had”? :smack:

Quite serious. I’ve politely bowed out of more than a few opportunities out of a healthy fear of incurable disease. I’ve found out after-the-fact that I’ve dodged at least a couple of bullets in passing on a “sure thing.”

On average your sex partner will have had more partners than you have.

I wonder how many people are saying “don’t care” when what they mean is “a number that the Doperate will deem a very low cap, so I’d better pretend I don’t care.”

Why would they if it’s an anonymous poll?

Anyway, my choice of 50+ was due to my aforementioned misunderstanding of the thread title, so you can subtract one from there and add it to “Don’t Care.”

That’s one of the things I hate about these things. People either do the pretending thing or outright lie as a lot of people on here have admitted they do…for some reason they get some pleasure out of messing with poll results. I don’t do many polls and really am interested in honest answers. But they’re hard to come by a lot of the time.

Too many? How about too many at one go? :wink:

Actually, I don’t think it matters at all but please be safe about it and if you don’t like what’s going on, don’t participate.

I had prudish ideas about this when I was younger, but a friend did point out something to me that changed my POV. He said “A slut is not a shameful thing to be, it just means you like sex a lot and don’t worry about the number of partners you’ve had.” He was actually referring to his now-ex wife. He’s right. Number of partners you’ve had is not a bad thing in itself, male or female. Your mores are what can define it as bad or not.

I picked “I don’t care” and intended to say : I don’t care, at all, either way. (although I will surely ask because I’m curious)

But in fact I could wonder about extreme outliers. A girl I met when she was in her late 20 had had 50+ partners. It didn’t bother me the slighest bit, and in fact it turned out that she was kind of prude despite the numbers. So, I guess extreme enough for me to wonder would probably be in the 200+ range at 30 or at the contrary virgin at the same age.
