How many sexual partners are considered too many?

ImprovingEla

being on the real low side myself, I would consider someone with more than 5 encounters pretty indimidating... but thats just me and therefore not objectiv!

Once you catch something you can't get rid of, I'd say you've banged too many.

You contract STIs when you have *unprotected* sex with someone with an STI. It has nothing to do with the quantity of people you have sex with. Of course having unprotected sex with many people raises your likelihood of contracting an STI.

There's no appropriate/inappropriate number. As long as your partner(s) are consenting adults and you use protection, go for it

Personally, I dont want to be a mans first 3 second experience, or first oral walk through the lady garden. That is a talent that requires some practise to get it right

Im ok with as much safe sex as one wants as long as its not cheating or using people that think you are in love with them.

Though I dont know that I'd want to see the prize for being the millionth customer either...

Why do you even care how many notches you have on your bedpost? Do you consider yourself some kind of alpha male? Allot of big headed people here and I bet the ones that are talking about it never gets any!! Ewww imagine all those diseases................I personally wouldn't even *** on you if you were on fire so you can count me out xx

I don't care how many partners anyone else has had, it's not my business. As for me, my body is the most personal and precious thing I own. It is special to me, It is the one thing that is mine and mine alone and it will be with me the rest of my life. I try to take really good care of it. Especially now that I'm getting older. It's the only one I'll get. Therefore, I WON"T share it with JUST ANYONE. I have to deem them special too.

I just don't understand this question. Why would any one else opinion matter?

Sometimes the people around here like to discuss things totally unrelated to fitness. When they want this they come to the Chit Chat, Fun and Games section.

I have to disagree that Sex is not a basic need!! They teach you these things in basic nursing classes, try googling Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Sex is right there with food and water.

Then how is that all nuns don't die early?

I've gone quite long periods without sex and been just fine.

Right? Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a theory, not a proven fact. Fact: if you go long enough without water, you'll die of dehydration. Fact: if you go long enough without food you'll die of starvation. Fact: you can go without sex for an entire lifetime and you won't die from lack of sex. The whole foundation of that theory is that if your lower level needs aren't met, you can't meet your higher level needs, which is something they really focus on in education classes to explain why kids might not be able to focus on school work or develop problem solving skills, but we're certainly not encouraging kids to have sex so they can have their lower level needs met and achieve more. I went 19 whole years without it and still managed to satisfy the top tier needs.

Maslow''s hierarchy of needs is meant to show basic needs for mental health and wellness- not the basic needs of physically staying alive. Sex is a basic human need. Sexual desire is normal. There is an obvious misunderstanding here of the hierarchy because the statement "I've satisfied the top tier" makes no sense. You can't satisfy the need for self-actualization, you can only strive for it. You can force yourself to refrain from sex but that doesn't make it the healthiest choice. And some people experience a much stronger level of sexual desire than others, which would mean that refraining from sex would affect them more.

If you want to quibble over wording (and not even the correct wording, might I add), be my guest; I'm not really interested. The point is that abstaining from sex is not going to hurt you. No one is saying that sexual desire is not normal, but you don't NEED sex. You don't need it to be mentally healthy or stable--there are plenty of healthy, well-adjusted individuals who go for long periods of time without having sex. You don't NEED it the same way that you NEED food and water, despite them being on the same tier. If you want to buy into that theory, I really don't care. But it's a theory. It is not a fact. And unless you are not only a doctor, but MY doctor, you can't say what is or isn't healthy for me or anyone else. "You can force yourself to refrain from sex..."<--- Force myself to refrain? As if it's something that my body is just naturally trying to do all the time and I have to tell it no. :laugh: Give me a break. It's really easy to not have sex. I just don't put penises in my vagina. It's so easy I'm doing it right this very second and it requires zero effort.

*mad applause* I'm sorry but you just made my day with this. I am dying here!!!!

And unless you've studied psychology I'd say that you really aren't prepared to discuss what is or is not considered to be a basic need. Sex is one of the most basic acts. Eating, sleeping, shi**ing and f**king and pretty much the basics of life, the things we'd be doing if we were still in a hunter/gathered society.

So... you're allowed to have an opinion on this issue because you studied psychology? Is that how it works?
