In general, no it isn't an issue. As long as they are not a serial cheater and have been tested, I probably wouldn't even want to know. I've had more partners than my husband but as many have said, it's usually easier for a woman to find someone to have sex with.
So when it comes to possibly dating someone does the number of previous partners matter?
dilution. like a time share. everybody has got 2%. your new found cutie has got around a 2% investment in you???. you gota what 77% percent investment in them???. something to think about. and how bout cycle. they are on a 60 day cycle??? and you are on a what 11 year cycle????. is this gona work out? and then the more brutal. you are tryin for the last 3 years to forget about james. but he slept with a woman 3 weeks ago, honestly he just cannt remember her name right now, oh well. been there done that.
ps most important note. aids does not show up in blood test until 90 days after exposure. physical symptoms of aids does not show up for 7 years.
I guess you would have to take into consideration the age of the person. Someone who is 20 and single should be significantly lower than someone 40 and single, but that's not only the case nowadays I guess.
My husband was 24 when we got together and his numbers are pretty darn low. If I found myself single nowadays I don't even know if I would ask someone that question or not.....however, I do have friends that have number in the hundreds, many well over 2-3- and 400 - I find that pretty disgusting - that is my opinion only. If I knew a potential mate had several hundred lovers like that I do not think I could continue dating them - I don't want to be with someone who sleeps around so carelessly.
Yes, it would matter. Experience or technique is a good thing. But this can be achieved by long term partners also. Too many partners may bring in certain elements that I would not wish to be exposed to, such as disease. Sleeping around is not attractive to me. It also gives a shallow meaning to a relationship.
Yes, it matters very much! It reflects if we're on the same page about the issue number one. Then, I would want to know what kind of safe sex practices he had followed. This is just one area, that in a relationship where communication is vital, we would fully discuss. It's very important to me.
