Do you think there's a "too high" of a number of sexual partners?

Contributor: TexasBrat TexasBrat
Is there such a thing in your opinion, as TOO MANY lovers? If so, what is that number? If you were attracted to someone, and you found out they'd gone past your acceptable number of lovers, would you break it off with them?

Yes i think there can be too many, that number is different for everyone, I think my mans was 35 and I was taken aback by it (then again I've been told I'm very old fashioned) It's just to each their own.... I wish he hadn't had so many partners but I love him and it's something I've come to cope with or more like just not think about LOL

I'd say it's more a matter of the choices you've made with your partners that would be a better sign of whether they'd be a good partner than quantity

I always do a bit of math when learning about other people's sexual partners.....assuming they started at 17 (just an average), and figuring out how many per year!

So obviously, any number that works out to more than, say, 12 per year would definitely be too many in my opinion

I think it's relative. I don't have a number personally.

I feel that it is up to the individual to determine what their own 'too many' is--not a partner. The partner was not there throughout that area of the persons life......

It's a personal thing. I don't think it can be "too high".

Nope. Whatever is acceptable to the individual person. If someone thinks a potential partner has too many previous sex partners, there are probably some fundamental differences between them that go beyond that issue alone.

I think it can be sometimes but being safe is more important.

I don't have a number but I can't stress my importance on trust in sexual realtionships enough. I have to trust my partner to be as honest about sexual history and health as I am and that's more likely if they aren't worried about feeling judged by me.

"too many" is such a subjective thing, because to some people more than 1-5 people is too many while others think 1-50 is too many. There is honestly no such thing. there is no such thing as being or being "loose" either. I do think people should be aware and take measures in safe sex if the plan on sleeping with multiple partners and new partners, but there is no reason to shame or be ashamed of the amount of people one has had sexual relations with.
so in short, no i dont think there is such thing as "too high" a number.

It's only too many if the person having sex with all these people thinks it's too many. Otherwise, it's not any of our place to judge.

Interesting question! In theory, there is no such thing as too many...

No I don't think so. My number has been higher then many of the guys I have been with.

Yes, I do. But I'll keep the details of my opinion to myself because I don't want to offend anyone here .

I don't know. I'm not sure. I feel like if someone told me they had had sex with 50 people, I'd be turned off, but at the same time, if the person told me they were a sex worker before, I wouldn't care.

No, as long as you aren't making some sort of competition out of quantity, are safe and responsible about it.

Haha! I like this method!

Personally I think if you're getting in the thousands or even hundreds you may want to reevaluate some things. XD

Generally, it really depends on the person and such.

I agree, I feel it would be unlikely to meet someone who had serious, meaningful relationships with 50+ people. Even 30+ would be difficult at around my age. While I don't expect anyone to strictly have sex with someone that they've developed a relationship with, I don't like the "numbers game" and would be turned off by someone who'd had a large number of insignificant others. That being said I subscribe to don't ask, don't tell. I don't want or need to know that sort of thing about the person I'm with.
