  • I don't want a woman who is just looking for casual sex. I don' want to be remembered (if at all) as #147. At my age, a woman's number might be 30. By itself, that means nothing. Her number could have been 25 by the time she graduated from college and she may have had 5 partners in the past 40 years. On the other hand, she may have married her high school sweetheart and been married for 35 years, then gotten divorced and had 29 partners in the past 5 years. Her recent numbers are an indication of her current attitude about sex, but I think that talking to her and getting to know her would add more information on that question.

    • Well i find it extremely embarrassing and shameful ( i forgot to say they all live on her road) if i didn't know them that would be different and its not like she was in love with them or anything that would be different also. She has just been the local bike but i found out after i started to love her.

    • Sorry thought this was a different question

    • Yes, that is a different question. A potential partner's past history with someone I know would be quite different. If, for example, she had one sexual partner in the past and that was my brother, or my cousin, I would not be interested. I don't want to attend a family gathering or a party and consistently be around some guy who knows what my partner looks like naked and how she feels to be inside her.

  • Greatly. If it doesn’t matter to you then you either don’t care about them and aren’t planning on investing, or you are an ignorant good unaware of the consequences of promiscuity to successful LTRs

    • What are the consequences?

  • If I was into dating, the Sexuality history of a potential partner would be primordial to me.

    The reasons are numerous.

    1. I don't feel like being yet just another number on his body counts
    2. The higher the body counts, the higher the risk of STD/STI
    3. Who likes to be a trophy of some womanizer's list
    4. If I commit to someone, it is not just for a few days until the next prey comes up
    5. A person with a high body count is by definition a toxic person and player.

    If those reasons are not enough, I can come up with more...

    • "not into dating"... so what are you? one of those "one and done's"?, believe prince charming will fall into your lap and its happily ever after? want a ring and a wedding dress first? You DO know the usefulness/reason of dating right?

    • @Tdieseler what the fuck you talkin bout nigga

    • Don't bother with @tdieseler he is only spamming/trolling because I indirectly pointed at him personally in my reply. He knew I was addressing his behaviour and now he is obviously upset. Let him pout in his corner...

  • Not in most cases. I mean.. what he did before I came along is his business, so long as it doesn’t go against my morals.


    What does matter to me is that we’re both interested in being monogamous/faithful from now until the end of our relationship.

  • I think it matters only if they’re the type to not use protection. If they are then who they were with before doesn’t matter as long as they’re only with me now and we’re both satisfied.

  • When it comes to sexual history, don't ask, don't tell.

    • Good shout tbh

  • men are most interested in if you give great head and often... at least for me it's that way

  • wouldn't say "matter"... but i personally would like to know the CarFax...
    Sex is just an act... its who they are NOW that counts.

  • It definitely matters you don’t want STDs

    • True that

  • Yes, because it tells about how the person's view is on sex, and how it has evolved. My own sex history is abnormal, so I like to share that with a longterm partner. I for example do not need to have feelings to have great sex. And I don't want a man who think he is special because I have sex with him on one of the first dates. If a man wants to feel special that way he has to wait.
    I also like to know if he has cheated, and if so the story behind that.

  • As long as sex history isn't rape then no

    • Pretty straight forward answer once again :) I wonder who's in charge if purplepoppy had a non-virgin boyfriend, who gets the pants?

  • No as long as who I am banging is clean and healthy why care what they have done before me. Besides I might get to learn a few things if they have different or more experiences then me

    • True but does the nature of their sexual past have and relevance?

    • Nope not to me... the past is the past and cannot be changed so why let it bother you

  • Maybe a little? I think for the most part I'm fairly accepting. If they will say 10+ I'd raise an eyebrow, but as long as I know they're committed to me then I don't really care so much.
    I want all my partners who aren't virgins to take an STD test, I am consistent with that when I am looking to date someone

    • Thats fair so if they were all clear but had fucked 60 women or something?

  • Not at all... our past is the past. As long as a condom is used every time it is no big deal.

  • I don't really care as long as he ain't been with a bus full

    • Ok why? And is it worse if you know the people personally

    • I would simply prefer him not to tell me

  • yea because if you been sleeping around with a bunch of different babes how do I know you don't have herpes or some shit

  • Not really.

  • Depends.

    Do you want to employ someone who gets fired every month, or someone who moves from job to job every few years?

    Sexual history is a bit like employment history : it's the core of the person and it's nature and character cannot be hidden. Dating skanks, and working dead end jobs - you know that person is a bullet to dodge.

  • My biggest concern is if she has an STD. Outside of that it does not matter, provided I can trust her not to cheat or make sex a deal breaker in a relationship. I'm waiting until marriage, which I thought would be a value women love because it shows I have discipline and dedication but many women today seem to think it makes me undesirable.

  • Nope. Long as you’re disease free and not a sex predator

  • The higher the number of different sexual partners, the less likely she will be able to bond to one man and to children. Like recreational drugs promiscuity feels so good but once the damage is realized it is beyond repair. Peer reviewed studies, for which I will not post links, have proven this time and again. The same is not necessarily true for men because we are wired differently.

  • No not at all but I do like experience but then again inexperience can be a turn-on. But it shouldn't be bragged about some people Guys and Girls can't handle the truth if you know what I mean

  • Yes, definitely

  • Nope, it doesn't matter to me.
