Ive had sex with 7 girls. But Ive been in a relationship for a while now. However, Always been curious how other people feel about asking a girlfriend or boyfriend how many people they've slept with...some people dont feel comfortable talking about it at all, some people dont have a big problem. I wouldnt care if a girlfriend asked me at all.

I agree with you, Freebase...but what I would wonder about a person who has had a lot of partners is this:

(1) Why did they need so many different people to find pleasure?

(2) Why didn't the people they were with want to stay longer with them? And if the person didn't like the people he or she was with, how did it happen that the person kept picking someone he or she didn't really like? If something is pleasurable, why move on, in other words? What is driving them to move on?

I suppose some people just like tasting a lot of different people, like you taste chocolates and throw out the icky tasting ones. My experience is that if a relationship feels right without sex, then it will feel right and even better with sex. Also, I feel sex feels better in a relationship where you really care for the person and vice versa. So, I wouldn't use sex to pick people; instead I'd use relationships and how they feel to decide with whom to have sex.

Anyway, having sex was never my main objective. It is very easy to have sex; it is much harder to find a relationship in which the sex feels good and the relationship feels good. The worst feeling is having sex with someone and feeling lonely or feeling that the sex is distasteful or feels like...nothing. Blech.

I'm 19, have had a girlfriend for 6 months, and am still a virgin, and feel the better for it.

I lost my v-card when I was 15 and between then and now I've been with 5 people, only one of which was a relationship. However, I've not been with anyone in nearly two years(!!!!!!).

Five. Yes just five although Woody Allen said it best : Don't knock masturbation, it's sex with someone I love. If that's the case I am a slut.

TheBig3 · 10-24-2010, 08:39 PM

I'm 27.

I'm at or around 10 depending on your definitions.

bannister · 10-24-2010, 08:56 PM

Three, and I was only in a relationship with one of them.

I've never seen virginity as something that should be coveted like it is with some people, but I personally wish I would've waited a little longer.

Five is a respectable number, Jackhammer. Heh heh...I like the Woody Allen quote! It reminds me of a little poem I wrote when I was 23:

Comforted

Sometimes these arms
seem so strong wrapped around me
I could almost fall in love again
if I didn't love myself already.
How cosy it is to be held by someone
who will never leave you
and who will discuss
everything.

I think it is very reasonable and important to share your sexual history with someone you are considering having sex with, not only to learn more about potential risks, but also just to learn about each other.

I'd have felt concerned if a partner didn't want to disclose her or his sexual history...especially since when you have sex with someone it is like having sex with all the people that person has ever had sex with!

I genuinely do like the poem. In fact I like it a lot.
