So, apparently most men don't want to seriously date or marry a woman with a high number of sexual partners (let's say ~10).

Most men here seem to believe that if a woman has sex with them too soon (1-5 dates?), or outside of an established exclusive relationship, then that means that she is not girlfriend/wife material.

Fair enough.

So does that mean that most men want a woman they like to make him EARN the right to have sex with her? Should sex be a challenge?

If I want to eventually find a LTR, should I make the man I date wait several weeks/months, even if I am sexually/romantically attracted to him too, JUST so that he doesn't think I'm too easy and become turned off? How does this work?

That's up to you to be honest.

For me I could careless how many they have been with, as long as they do not have STDs I'll be fine. I think this may come down to morals for people. If I hang out with a woman and she keeps me at sexual bay then I know a few things about her personality. Sex is rarely ever planned during the first steps of a relationship...it just happens when the time is right. If you put too much thought into it you may regret it later.

Well, several women here have posted that they had sex on the first date with the men that became their husband, and have been happily married ever since, so I wouldn't put too much stock in the high-number issue. I think everything depends on the individuals involved. There is no single winning formula.

It works differently for different people. There is no magical formula that will always work.

Waiting for sex merely affords YOU the time to determine someone's intentions and character.

I predict that in most cases you will be dumped long before you have the chance to "make (him) wait several weeks/months."

How it works is go with the flow. The relationship game is very difficult.

^^ This.



I'm not concerned with high numbers (if 10 is apparently a really high number, that is), so long as they are free of STD's.

I also don't have an issue with waiting for sex for a while. That's fine.

Well you should probably understand that the men on this site are NOT indicative of the general population.

Don't try to be someone you're not. If you really like a guy and the sex happens early on, then that's fine. If the guy runs away because of it, well he probably wasn't worth it in the first place.

And if a guy has a problem with more than 10 sexual partners, he's probably a loser or way too religious.
That sounds harsh, but it's the truth.

If he is "way too religious", he's going to think 1 is too many. Don't have to worry about that one. lol

I've only had sex with 2 men so far (I'm 20). 10 seems like a high number to me, but it's all relative, I guess.
