    None. Though if she's married then at least 20 since she got back from honeymoon.

    just havin a guess maybe 10,the poll on this would be interesting.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 lifeinireland


    i suppose the lengh of the pole would be the deciding factor.

    Your use of the word "taught" in that sentence isn't normal.

    Guessing as your username is "sumatra" its going to be a tad higher than the "norm"...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,038 ✭✭✭sponsoredwalk


    Honestly, why would you care wtf people think? Sleep with whoever you want & how many of "them" ;) you want.

    I don't know how many things "society" deems acceptable that are just plain wrong... The fact that Jedward even exists should give you some indication of the error we can attribute to mass opinion

    I thought this was going to be a rant that the concept of normal being something which is beaten into us by an overbearing authoritarian government/new world order to keep us in our place.

    So if anyone can explain how the topic title has anything to do with the actual questioned being asked please let me know.

    Sounds like the OP is trying to justify being easy.

    "I've slept with several hundred men. Often with multiple partners at the one time. Cos I'm filthy."

    "That's not normal."

    "Normal is word used by a taught society."

    To be honest, fuck society.

    Just tell us how many it has been OP and we'll let you know...
    I think you misspelled Kama Sutra ;-)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,221 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    If you want to fcuk your brains out then do so, if you want to be with the same guy all your life then do it, but do it because you want to, not because of what others think.

    There is no answer to the question as everybody will have a perception formed based on their own experiences and upbringing.

    3 is "normal" for one, and 33 is "normal" for another. Once you have respect for yourself and don't get treated badly, then it's all good :)

    It's the 21st century. Who cares?
    You're going to let the outdated morals of others dictate your happiness or cause you the loss of a nights sleep?

    I remember reading a similar post on another forum. It was posted by a lad who was worried about the number of men that his girlfriend had slept with before he met her. Basically, she was a lot more experienced than he had & he was finding that hard to reconcile this in his head.

    Most of the replies were of the same ilk, ie., 'why does it matter?', 'the only problem is your own insecurity', 'you shouldn't judge her by double standards etc', but one of the replies was f*cking classic - I'm paraphrasing here, but it went something like this...

    "Your girlfriend has had 10 men over a 12 year period. If you estimate that she slept with each man, on average, 30 times, that the average penis length is 6", then your girlfriend has had over 150ft of cock in her vagina before she met you. I hope that helps."

    :D

    :D

    Hmm, 26. I'd say at least 12?

    Actually reminds me, I used to know a girl, she had a dozen guys. One of them found out about it... beat her up so bad she ended up at a hospital. :(

    The inate ability of mankind to answer a simple question is something that makes me consistently laugh, god forbid we just had a simple approach to things in life and not try make 'fun' out of things at all times Im sure the world would be a different place. People's expressions above so as not to be seen as 'one of the herd' i.e. a follower , is ironically all over the answers given. Its a pity that society has such a stronghold on the mentality of people and no-one can give a logical answer for as not be seen as conforming. Many will read this response and think they understand it and will reply with responses to argue my point. But in truth only very few will understand and for those that though I know will not dignify a response. In saying that considering I asked the question and no doubt there will be further responses can I just say the replys forthwith I will not be reading as I have learnt the lesson here that soceity is flocked into the same position and that for me to rely on there answers would be to consider myself one of them, which I am not. Thanks for the nonsensical replys and do enjoy yourselves being conformed :)

    nor logic. She has what is called confirmation bias.

    Everybody responds, by an large, saying society doesn't give a sh*t how many people she slept with and she accuses everybody of being controlled by society.

    Also bad title. This one won't last long methinks.

    Wait, so some people have asked you why you give a **** about what other people think, but you call them sheep & conformers for answering you...

    Personally I wouldn't need the reassurance of "the herd" to goad me into feeling freer about sleeping with X no. of people, I would do it based on what I want & not what other people want.

    So, I just hope you know that in asking this very question one could chastize you over your "herd" mentality & the hypocrisy of then criticizing others for that flaw which you yourself epitomize, but we don't all want to appear elitist with no basis for it ;)

    ugh your posts are hard to read OP, who cares how many it is, more partners doesn't mean more sex.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    This thread is over. If you have a serious question OP post in Personal Issues, not After Hours.
    It also helps if you try to take on board what advice you can find about you situation.
