How Many People Is Too Many People To Have Sexual Intercourse With?
I'm not talking about at one time. I'm talking about over a lifetime.

How many is too many? What number would make you feel uncomfortable? 20? 25? 50? 100? 1000? 10,000?

9. Yeah. Why would I care?
Seriously. As long as they aren't carrying any gifts that keep on giving, it really doesn't effect me.

10. So long as there's proper precaution and disease-testing being done
it really doesn't bother me one way or another. Other peoples' adult, consenting sex lives are none of my beeswax.

11. hmm, if I were single again, maybe it wouldn't matter -experience, perhaps?
When I was a student or in my early 20s - a large number of previous partners probably would have scared me off had i known.

In retrospect, it was the 70s and people didn't think about that kind of thing as much as they do now. I'm not sure I ever asked that question back then, it was a less "aware" time, I suppose.

26. None of those makes me uncomfortable.
But FYI: 10,000 is one-a-day for like 27 years.

I guess I wouldn't blink at 50.

31. I don't have a #.
I don't even count them anymore. I once pissed off a gf because I told her I would not tell her who or how many people I'd slept with and I didn't want to know her sexual history. It was apparently very important to her.

35. ...egh. I would like to post, "If you love your SO it doesn't matter, especially because
Edited on Tue May-05-09 06:53 AM by BlueIris
it should be par for the course to mutually submit to complete STD/other communicable disease screening before entering into an adult relationship and the number shouldn't matter as long as it hasn't had a significant health impact."

That being posted, as a straight, nearly 30 year old female, I raise an eyebrow at anyone who has had more sexual partners than they've had birthdays. (Which is most people.) Doesn't mean I couldn't love someone who had a high number of partners, but it would make me want to ask a few (polite) questions about mental health, attitude about relationships, commitment, etc., before allowing myself to get seriously involved.

42. It depends,
In reality, a number is just that... a number. I don't want to know how many she's had and I won't say how many I've had. In both our cases it's above average.

We'll discuss situations, funny ones, painful ones, hurtful ones, but never total ones.

Sometimes, for me, ANY is too many because, as we're in our mid-50's it wasn't me. It took us far too long and too much pain to find each other.

And of course I do NOT say that. And our roads got us to where we are now.

43. Oh let's see.
When high school graduating class, college alumni, the standing army, the 7th Fleet, the Teamsters Union, most of Face Book and the membership of NATO all remember the close encounter fondly, I'd say that's going overboard.
