120. That was a good move on your part.

While at college for the second time, after 4 years in the USAF, I lived for a while in a big three-story house that was sort of a co-ed communal living situation. I was actually living there with my girlfriend, who I married later and was with for 17 years. Anyhow, the house was full of an ever-changing bunch of students, ranging in age from 18 to 24 (my age at the time).

There was lots of flirting and general sexual freedom going on in that house, as you can imagine in the late 1960s and early 1970s. But, I was in a relationship, and I'm pretty much a monogamous guy.

Anyhow, there was one young woman who appeared to take a fancy to me. She was extremely uninhibited and occasionally would walk through the living room of that big old house, stark naked after a shower. On one such occasion, she made it clear that she would be interested in a little sex romp. It was more than a little tempting. She was strikingly lovely and more than willing.

I gently told her that I was monogamous and didn't fool around outside of a relationship I was in. She sat down across from me, still naked, and we had a conversation about it. In the end, she said, "I get it. I hope I find someone like you someday. But, are you sure you don't want to mess around?" I told her that, yes, I was sure. She laughed and walked out of the room. She continued to flirt with me and parade through the house naked, but only jokingly after that.

I will say that it was a very, very difficult decision to have to make. Sometimes, a guy has to work from principle, despite challenges to that principle.
