It didn't appear that James said anything of the sort, but maybe I'm horrible at reading between the lines. What is "too many" to one potential partner may not be too many to another. It's going to be personal based on what one person brings to the table.

The number of previous partners, in my opinion, isn't AS important--because you should be protecting yourself AND regularly being tested for all sorts of STIs (it's more important for women because many STIs can be confused as cramps or UTIS, and undetected STIs can result in infertility) annually. If she is taking care of herself by practicing safer sex and being tested, I wouldn't worry too much.

Nobody wants a loose girl. Well I guess you do for 5 minutes and then you throw her out of bed and she can act like she didn't get used and she'll feel really pretty because a guy actually slept with her.

--haha feminists!

Bottom line is, when it comes to sexual partners, the double standard is alive and well. I don't think I've ever met a man who wouldn't be frightened off by double digits, let alone 36.

I did date a girl with about that many partners. What's far more important to me is if she'll be faithful, and no number of sexual partners is an accurate indicator of that.

I bet Amtrak could have set up shop down there if she had that many partners.

It was the best sex of my life, and she was not loose, because she was in shape.

I think Keigals would keep the tunnel to tight for a train . . . :)

Dude that's like tearing your muscles and having to train all over again.

And then, of course, there's the "technical virgin."

Let's not get on the virgin thing. The only men who want virgins are those who lack size and/or experience.

Which brings me back to my original point.

What's this girl's phone number?

You've met my first boyfriend, I see.

A few years ago, I had a fling with a guy who had been with 76 women. Now I'm no virgin myself, but that number just gave me the creeps.

(I didn't have sex with him, although we did other things. I just did not like the idea of being #77 of however many...)

No. And I'll leave it at that. ;)

not gorgeous but cute

This is kind of interesting to me. I have a friend who is not what you would call attractive. She has slept with 26 guys THAT WE KNOW OF, and she's 23 and lost her virginity at 18. Several of us asked her what she was going to do if some guy asked her number and all she said was "Why would he care?" I couldn't believe it. I don't think I could handle being with a guy who had been with so many people.

lol...how do you know thats not normal for someone in SoFl? Most of the people I know around that same number, and the ones who wont admit to it...they're just scared to come out and say it. I'm not saying its how everyone is, but if everyone were honest there would be a lot less people getting laid.
