    I'm curious as to how many partners people have had in their lives so far. It's an anonymous poll so I'd appreciate if you could try and keep it close to reality guys ;)

    Mods,

    Apologies if you believe this is unsuitable, feel free to delete or close as appropriate. Just honestly curious as to what is the average or acceptable number amongst users...

    A high number is a source of bravado for some people but for me one special person would be worth 1000 lays.

    Agree with Stark here, I haven't done badly for myself but one great partner is worth hundreds of meaningless one-nighers...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,707 ✭✭✭skywalker

    Not off topic, but

    What is the hang up in this country about sex? I'm 24, have had more partners than the poll allows. Because, I enjoy sex. I enjoy everything about it. The chase, the hunt, the catch, the feeling between two people. But here it seems to be the less is better. While some might say it's a noble thing to have one partner, what are you missing out on? You can't say nothing because you haven't experienced it. I have experienced a long term relationship (5 years) and I have experienced sleeping around.
    I find nothing wrong with it all. It's not degrading to myself nor the other person. I still find the act of sex special between two people. I treat them well, use protection and not run out the door afterwards.

    My 2c

    Papa Smut, I see where you're coming from but wouldn't you say that sex with someone you love is usually better than a meaningless one-night thing? I've had my share of both and have to say that I prefer the former by orders of magnitude. There's nothing wrong with casual sex, I enjoy it immensely, but I still prefer the kind of sexual experience you can only really achieve with someone you love...

    just my 2c.

    Dude - up to 2 weeks ago I would have disagreed with you but since breaking up with my girlfriend, I've gone on the hunt many times since, been successful many times - sometimes not so successful, but the chase is half the fun.... & it's like having a selection box ;) Sometimes you gotta be a greedy mofo.

    kinda agree with both.... sleeping around (NOT CHEATING).. cool

    long term faithful sex.... also cool

    cheating isn't cool. open relationships are.

    one thing tho'. quality control should apply here. anyone can get unlimited partners if you don't mind shaggin weapons. 50 dogs should equal 5 babes

    I lied. Cos everyone else is doing it. Amazing how many people us nerds get to sleep with isn't it?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭karlh


    what Papa Smut Said.

    i'm just so glad i'm not of those people who settled down when they met their first girlfriend in school.

    sex with someone you love is the ideal but sex with someone who really turns you on, whether you just met them or not is amazing in a whole other way. once everyone is careful then it's all down to personal preference. i like selection boxes. especially finger of fudge...

    ive said to much. :)

    I didn't bother, don't think that being any of the categories above means much about someone's sexual performance tbh. I've slept with women who had been around the block that were useless and I've slept with virgins that were amazing in bed. True, the more experience one has, the better one tends to be at something, but the number of people you've been with doesn't really come into the equation much.

    I think beyond a certain point, one's abilities in bed don't really count as a factor as what makes for great sex, once neither of you is completely clueless I think it's far more down to compatability...

    My opinion on this is a mix of a number of peoples postings..

    I think that sex in a commited relationship can be exceptional on an emotional and physical level.

    Sex with a stranger can be exceptional on a mental and physical level, it's often raw and unbridled and you can lose your inhibitions.

    Both can also be really bad if the person is the wrong person, if there is no spark there. With some people it's electric at every touch, with others it's cold and mechanical.

    Your ability in bed does dictate how enjoyable sex can be, after all if you're satisfying your partner then they are more likely to want to satisfy you. It's like a mutual appreciation society thing :D but ability counts for nothing if the spark isn't present to begin with.

    i don't care if you sleep around.. along as people are carefull, ie, protection.. if you're not then you're a scumbag and deserve to die!!

    Thankfully I've only had the electric kind with one special person in a committed relationship. Wouldn't have any interest trying a one-nighter / random encounter tbh. Did I mention I'm a bit of a prude with morals that preclude random fumbles. :rolleyes:

    How many Sexual Partners have you had?

    Is that strictly human partners, or do close encounters with our friends in the animal kingdom count?

    Maybe we can conduct a follow-up poll for HOW MANY STD'S HAVE YOU HAD?

    I was joking about the finger of fudge!

    maybe a walnut whip, or double decker :)

    ...or perhaps a vagina.

    Once should always be professional, regardless of whether you charge or not. Otherwise you're just plain crap.

    Why are you hoping for a booking? :p

    That depends on a lot of things sugar lips... :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭cajun_tiger


    well having more that x amount of sexual partners doesn't = STD's

    stupidity=STD's stupdity can also be trusting someone who you "thought" was clean
    or
    bad luck=STD's


    i'm currently been sexually active for 6 years and have had more than 1 partner....

    and havent ever *touch wood* had anything...

    been getting tested since my first patner-he was unfaithful to me i was worried.
