Years ago I might have thought this was someone's business. Today, I don't. If they want to know details such as my number of lovers, same goes. Mine is pretty low, I just don't think a person should be judged by it.

My first husband was a virgin - so much work -- and so not worth it. There was a reason he was a virgin! He wasn't "into" sex. After the divorce, I sent him an application to the friary.

I'd like to say it wouldn't matter, because intellectually, I have no problem with it.

However, with my last two exes, it wound up bothering me a lot because it made me feel like sex wasn't special between us (since I only engage in sexual activity in serious, committed relationships and they would have sex with whatever friend just to get their rocks off).

I interpret this more as a jealousy question. She's making you wait, but she had sex with someone she wasn't even dating at all.

Either way, no. People say that it's best to be open about everything, but no good ever comes from knowing these kinds of things if there isn't the threat of any future effects. It just leads to a lot of insecurity and paranoia.

I wasn't expecting all the responses, but I am glad to see the overwhelming majority of men are ok with this. I'm also going to guess that most of you are out of your twenties, because it seems with age comes the sort of realization that these things don't matter so much in the long run. Nice!

...and yet your status says "naughty girls need love, too." Well, don't they?

As long as the FWB wasn't a roomate.
