Well I am 36 and have never been married. So if I were with a girl who expected me to hold on to my virginity until my wedding day...or until I met her, the love of my life. As nice and Princess Bridey as that is...She probably would not be a good fit for me. I just tell the truth (low double digits) and hope for the best.
Many relationships of mine have had their destruction jump-started by those very questions... But, I'll keep answering 'em and I'll keep asking them...
The truth, which is gonna be the right thing to say in every situation (though it may not get you the optimal result every time )
Honestly guys, no woman (unless she's a virgin also) really wants to sleep with a virgin, but we don't want to sleep with a manwhore either. Anything under 20, depending on your age and the age at which you lost your virginity, is ok but anything more and we get scared. Experience is good but being a slut is not. So 10 is always a safe number if she's dumb enough to ask.
Girl: So, how many girls have you slept with? Jeff "the playa": Ahem, ummm...I dunno, like *cough*- Hey, did I tell you about that time I saved a basketball team? Smooth.
The number of partners doesn't make a lot of difference when it comes to experience if you have had long-term relationships. Even if you have one partner, if you have the same one for 10 years...that could be a LOT more experience than someone with 10 short-term partners. Of course, it does make a difference who your partners were, particularly if you did have a lot of them.
I've never been asked by my significant other. My answer would have been, "I can't remember," which would have been the truth.
The truth is best. Btw- not that it matters, but my answer was "zero" and my wife's answer when I flipped the question (which I'd had enough med-schoolin' to prove on the ol' weddin' night ) was "zero." And Jeff is right... 10 years with the same partner (especially when still attracted to each other) gives waaaaay more experience than the multiple short term relationships. I've heard that your "sex maturity" is as old as your longest relationship... now, that doesn't mean you haven't tried everything under the sun... but it sure means you've had some reasons behind why the relationship(s) didn't last.... and we can all tell by the astronaut chick... if it's done right, a person will face huge odds and take massive, career ending risks to get back to their lover.
If a girl asks you how many chicks you've slept with, just ask her how many dicks she's sucked...that'll shut her up.
truthfully, i'd have to go along with Deckard on this one. i really can't remember. this thread had me trying, but i honestly couldn't come up with a number. i'm not saying it's really high or anything, but... i must've seriously destroyed some brain cells in the 80s. hmmmmmm...
