if i ask u that then it means we at a certain level in our friendship/relationship and i would hope that u tell me the truth. the past is the past so its pretty much for informational purposes only. if im feeling u im feeling u no matter how many people u been with...long as u aint got nothing its all good. and men never want to ANSWER this question but always want to ASK it to the females they are with.

I believe that you can't really put a number to that "too many". If you are 26 and have had many sex partners it only means that you have not found anyone worthy of giving yourself to. As a woman I would expect the truth but the answer would not affect how I feel about my mate. It's a question that should only be asked in serious relationships where there is trust and a possible future.

I have asked this question before and I did expect the truth. I later found out it was a lie because he couldn't remember how many sex partners he said he had before me, maybe it was because he acquired some after we were together. So now as long as a guy is free of any/all STD's and doesn't have any other partners other than me while we are together I don't care how many he has had in the past.
If you are that ashamed of your past promiscuous behavior maybe it is time to start slowing it down a bit. If you are truly serious in the relationship now then honesty is best, always! If she is just another notch on your belt then what does it matter.

I wouldn't be naive enough to expect the truth about that. Many people aren't proud of how many partners they have had or they don't want to make the new partner feel bad, so they shave a few off of the number. (Just think of how many women say they have had *one* serious partner, lol). As long as a man hasn't been a ho-dog (that could mean he cannot be true because he has to constantly be validated by other women paying attention to him), then it isn't anyone's business what he did before that relationship. His past is his past.

I do expect the truth, i expect the truth with everything though.
To me the number is kind of important, i havnt been around a lot and i like to know. Also it kind of shows the chance of a hump and dump.
When my sweetie and I got together he was 20 and his number was 13, that's on the high end FOR ME but I obviously didn't run.
If you used to sleep around a lot and don't want your big number to scare some girl tell her that it's in your past, you used to be a little easy and now you're older and know that there's more out there than multiple partners. if you still do sleep around a lot tell her that you feel that in this day and age numbers arnt important :)
for 26 too high would be like 35..or so. for me at least i need to know you've been in at least one committed monogamous relationship.
Most women agree that if you won't share that number they wont share their bed, because you're hiding something

Yes I would expect the truth. For 26, it doesn't matter how many as long as you have been current in tests to make sure you are healthy, and have proof of this... I'm 26, female, and have had 4 including my husband.

In all honesty, I wouldn't ask my partner such a damaging question. What he did before me is his business. I would expect him to respect my past private life the same way.
But, if he continuosly brought the subject up wanting to know then I'd tell him the truth and would expect complete honesty from him as well.

well i have no idea why there is some women who ask this Question.
but honestly i am kinda sure its a jealousy thing.
by the way you can never get it right
if they were too many = your a ladies man that she cant trust
if there were a few = they must have an effect on you so you couldn't move on, and you may never get over her !!!!!!!!!!!!!
best answer is ( how i think ):
well bygones are bygones i am done with the past and looking for the future and why should i care about ppl that no longer are in my life, i`v got you in my life and that more than enough for me .
believe me it works.
are problem is that we love to compare and love to feel superior ( i am more beautiful , intelligent a better cook, take care of are man more ................. better in bed ................ or even any thing as a matter of fact to make us feel more worthy dunno why but it happens )
and you men got to deal with it ;)
or what you think ????????????

If you can't handle the truth, don't ask the question.
I for one say that as long as it's in the past and it doesn't come darken my doorstep, it never happened to me.
This is stuff that happened before you even knew the guy, so why bother? The only things from his past you should know would be: have you ever hit a woman, kill somebody, cheated and such...

I wanna know, but I don't. I kind of get around this by asking," More than 10 or less than ten?" Ten is a decent number, not too shocking, besides, I'm 32 and most of the guys I go with are older, so this isn't going to offend me. I won't give a specific number either...but yeah, more than 10..lol
