I don't really care how many girls guys I date have slept with. I'm more concerned with it they've ever cheated, as I would have reservations about dating someone who's cheated in the past. I think guys would like to think that the girl they're dating hasn't slept with alot of other guys, but at the same time they want the confidence and skill that comes with experience...
I'm not saying all guys are like that though, just that I've met some who are. _______________________ You should be fencing, and I should be banging coconuts! "No more! The Earth's a burrito! We're done!" -The Snazz- Trying to take over the world, one nude cook at the time |

there's definitely a degree of ostracism involved with being perceived to have had "too few" partners as well, for sure. maybe even equal to that for having "too many." _______________________________________ WARNING: the preceding message is not to be taken personally.

I'm still confused about the Virgin-line... right now I'm referring to myself as "Virgin... sort of... technically... I think." But I still kind of see myself as one... mostly because I'm being hard on myself, I think, because having social anxiety stuff to deal with, I see the whole thing as just one manifestation of a failure on my part to deal with other human beings on multiple levels... being a "virgin" was never a source of pride for me, really, except for that one time in high school where this one girl was saying, "No, it's disgusting, ask anyone, no one in this school is a virgin," and I said, "um, I am..." and that was mostly because I was contradicting someone in an argument.
And then there are times when I've sat in on other people's Truth-or-Dare type drinking games... no, wait, it was some version of I've Never... everyone else was already quite drunk enough, so they were just holding up fingers instead of taking drinks when something was true about them. (I don't drink, but I do sometimes enjoy watching other people get drunk.) And when "Had sex in own home state" came up, I said, "That depends on what the definition of "is" is," people started going, "No technicalities, no technicalities!" then I went, "What's a technicality?" and everyone groaned and they moved on to the next question. And a while ago my mom was insisting that kissing counted as sex, and we were all like, "What the hell?" Anyway... whatever. What I actually wanted to talk about was the way people react when I say I'm (technically, I think) still a virgin, and don't want to be. They say things like, "It's not that big a deal," or, "No, you really don't want to get into that," or "You know the one thing in my life I wish I could take back was how I lost my virginity," or worst of all, "Good for you!" (that one was in response to the morose proclaimation "Natalie is going to die a virgin," then clunking my head down on the table.) But, I really do want more experience with that than I have. Is that valid at all, to want that? I've always thought that the idea that someone should only ever experience that with one person was terribly sad... this in response to the "Not Ever Until You're Married, Monogamy ONLY, E-V-A-R!" people... who were mostly people I disliked to start out with, and I was pretty all-or-nothing about my political opinions when I was in middle school, so the whole thing might have its roots in just me being contrary... but, the sadness, the kind of lonely permanance that I felt with the whole arrangement, I think, was real, and something I still feel is true... not for everyone, just for some... and in specific case, me... My friend- the one who was co-responsible for the technicality- asked me why I always hide that side of myself, and I said, "I don't know..." and I really still don't... and later, I mentioned I didn't want to still be a virgin when I turned 24, and he said, "It's not that big a deal," and I said, in order to sound properly worldly and jaded, "I know..." but, but... the thing is, I would have liked to find out for myself what a big deal it was not. There were other things going on... I was kind of a spare-tire girlfriend, or possibly a third wheel, in a relationship that was breaking up not because they didn't love each other, but because she was moving away... she's one of those people who has to keep changing, because Here and Now is hurting too much... when the real problem is that she has too much light in her, and it burns... and no matter how much you run, you still can't get away from yourself... but always you're drawn to her, she's very beautiful throughout, a sort of constantly changing human work of art- she's a Delerium girl, of a sort, though she usually cosplays Desire because she's got the body and the magnetism for it. And very giving, and warm, and kind- she's the sort of person you want to love you, and often does... but at the same time you know she's too much for any one person. So basically, I was sort of the third tire in a three-way relationship that was coming to a painful end... so, I go too... because the relationship couldn't support itself without a constant influx of Robin... also I was overly needy and only on the edge of sane, and no one should have to deal with Constant Crisis Girl while at the same time breaking up with someone they truly love. So the result, as it relates to the topic at hand- No Sex for Meeeeee! Also, he doesn't love me either. He said that... and felt bad about it... I love him, but I have no idea what that means... I don't make that much of a distinction between friend-family-love and romantic love... except the ones that involve blood relatives do Not include sex, eew... but I don't really have much of a Friend Zone, either, possibly because I know so few people and am really reluctant to get to know new people... oh man is my sleeping pill kicking in. I shall now go ramble about my sex life to someone who doesn't actually exist... like the mushroom pixies or the Invisible Pink Unicorn... good night. -Natalie ----*-*-*-*---- Not really human, just turns into one on the full moon.

Pope! Sweeeeeeeet. Do I get a hat? Personally, I've had very few partners and even fewer complaints, negating the "more is better" myth all on my own. |

It all comes down to personal choice. It just should be no one's business if you choose few partners or many partners, and it always pains me when tossers label people either way.

I'm trying to picture what Xine's hat would look like if she's the Pope of the Ah-Men Spacebunny Church of Good Sex...
She also needs a staff of some kind. |

I did several searches for an appropriate hat but didn't really find anything pope-like, which I found odd. I did find a tiara, but with the accompanying dealy-bops it was more suited to aitapata.

will not Ling Ling you, not ever Member |
Don't forget, men usually tweek their numbers up, and women tweek their numbers down
Well, depending on the guy or girl, I remember there being a "rule of thumb" but I forget it now.... I also remember seeing a study where men had on average 15 partners by age 40 and women 5 or so.... |

Well isn't it supposed to be the ah-men spacebunny church of good sex? I mean it's not the size of the staff, it's what you euh.... never mind ~You are a *Taverner*. Sometimes patrons want to go where everybody knows their names, though it helps when half of them are named John. When people want to celebrate, or commiserate, they gather to your establishment.

*Ahem* I'd like to take this opportunity to gratuitously rip off, (yet again), a joke from an American comedian I first heard years ago: "They say it's not the size of the ship, it's the motion in the ocean. And that's true. It is true. However... it's also true that it'll take you a long goddamn time to get to England in a rowboat!" James Wandering, but not lost. "You are a Knight Errant.

omg. i nearly died at the amazing double-standardism. like fuck a duck, its...2007?? how long did Sex in the City last? omg! those guys have to get their asses out of their heads. or maybe they are just worried at actually having to please someone and not just perform some perfunctory function! the more experience a woman has, the higher the expectations and all!
