    Assume that there’s no STIs involved. How comfortable would you be with a partner with numbers in the double digits? Triple digits?

    When would be the appropriate time to share that kind of information?

    If they are good at things and make me feel like I’m good at stuff then why bother counting. A high body count could mean they cheat or move on easily. … or not… so I really don’t put any weight behind it.

    I get why it can be intimidating or insecurity provoking to be with an experienced partner but all that really matters is how you connect with them. If they don’t give you a reason to make their body count matter, then I wouldn’t call it a red flag.

      Sexually Transmitted Illness I believe.

      If this is in any other context than sex, I'm concerned

      Is driving a fast Subaru a dealbreaker?

          don't care. I've never even asked a woman how many people she's been with. It's none of my business.

              A better question would be what age did you grow up and stop caring. I was probably around 18

                Depends on the other person's body count, attitude towards sex, and maturity.

                When I was a virgin, the idea of being with someone who wasn't a virgin made me feel incredibly insecure.

                Once I had had one partner, the idea of being with someone who had had more than one partner made me very insecure.

                Now that I've had a handful of partners, I've realized it doesn't matter to me anymore.

                  Not something I care about. I was my partner's 100th. The quantity was much less significant than the meticulous data collection (there was a spreadsheet) but that was an overall plus.

                    One homicide might be an accident, once someone's over a dozen I wouldn't want them in my house.

                      I don't think it would matter, but I've never faced that reality so I don't know for sure.

                          I suppose it depends if it's a hobby or a professional gig.

                            Triple digits?! Yare-yare... I guess the main deciding factor would be: are you still a competitive hedonist or have you finally understood the almost sacred and unbreakable relationship between love and sex?

                              Context not included, the number itself doesn't matter, but the context with the number can potentially matter. For example if they had sex with 50 people and thought they were in love with most of them, then how can i feel like their love for me is real and going to last? But if they had sex with 1000 people when they were being sex trafficked against their will, then (aside from concerns about possible related trauma) the number wouldn't matter at all.

                              What if they had sex with 1000 people willingly and enjoyed it, but weren't in love with all of those people?

                                I have had zero partners, and I think I'd feel really insecure with someone more experienced. Depending on the person it might not be a dealbreaker, as long as it's not more than maybe 2 or 3. Although I know that is a very small percentage of people my age 😞

                                  Opposite. I would strongly prefer an experienced partner. So I guess I'd have a minimum, and not sure if I'd have a max. Though I also haven't ever "counted" so I would find it odd if someone with a lot of partners had kept count.

                                    Wait ... Is it that common for people to have single digit bodycounts? I had the impression it was just antisocial solitary weirdos like me who remained comfortably under ten

                                      So someone likes sex. So do I. We have that in common. Your body count is of no concern of mine. Honestly none of my business who or how many as long as we are together we stay faithful unless previously agreed upon.

                                        Anything above 5 makes me cautious. Anything above 10 is a hard no.

                                        And no, this is not a double standard, I am below 5 myself

                                          None. No number. Why does it matter? Like, at all?
