What do you think of the double standard that applies to the # of sexual partners?

Question

Is it fair or unfair? Does someone who have many to promiscous or does someone who has few or none a loser?

Answer 1

Does it matter? IMO, only insecure people question their SO's about their sexual past. The only thing I want to see is the test result. No diseases, we're fine, that's all I need to know.

And only idiots freely discuss their sexual past. That's private business that you shouldn't share.

Answer 2

I'll risk being an idiot according to the 1st responder and tell that I've only had 2 partners in my life. I think that that is 2 too many, because neither are my husband. I think that I'm not marrying anyone who's had more partners than me. I'm not a virgin, but I'm not a whore either. I don't think there should be a double standard. I think there should be more modesty and respect for your body than to spread 'em, bend over, or straddle, etc. everybody you come across whether they have a clean bill of health or not. Hopefully you all realize that some diseases are ASYMPTOMATIC (no symptoms) and have an INCUBATION time that might not show up on the latest health forms!!

Answer 3

I think the people who have few or none are ok as long as they aren't like, 30 years old or more. Too many does make you promiscuous. And I wonder where everyone learned that word? The correct word should be something like whore.

Answer 4

I don't think that it matters. But there is a double standard. In my book though you're just as much of a whore as the next girl or guy if you've slept with the whole neighborhood...

Answer 5

if you care for the person then why worry about their past??? --- if you dont know or care for them then its not really any of your business anyway

Answer 6

Um, ok.
