From this thread and a conversation I had with Mrs. robgruver and robfriend it caused me to rethink my ideas on wheter the number of sexual partners can interfere with a relationship.
A random poll of the people at last nights WWF Unforgiven showed this.
The last two on the list are my wife, and myself. Now, as you can see the first two (a married couple) have only limited sexual experience, whereas the last two have lots (or in my case, tons) of it.
I can proudly say that I have yet to have a problem with the number of sexual partners I have had, but the OP in the above linked thread seems to have a problem with the small (by my reckoning only) number of partners that her SO has had.
So the information I am curious of is threefold:
How many sexual partners have you had?
Your stats (sex/age/marital status)?
What (if any) problems have you had due to this number?
Single male, 29. Total 7.5 partners, broken down thus:
7 female (2 professional)
0.5 male (difficult to explain).
No real problems from this number yet, though I was guilty of lying about the total when I was much younger. Before I’d reached my current total, that is.
Male, 37, married 10 years, 35 partners, give or take a couple (I got around a fair bit in the Nav, and I’m sure I forgot one or two…). Never caused any problems, but it has raised the occasional “Where’d you learn that?” question.
5
age 42, widowed.
I regretted 4 of them.
I was just doing it casue they wanted to and expected it.
I loved my husband and enjoyed it with him.
I didn’t enjoy it with the others.
I would be proud to answer only 1.
Female, 39, Divorced, 19 partners (6 female). No problems and since I believe in full disclosure, I am more than willing to discuss the past partners if asked by the present partner. Which they invaribly do.
