I'm very limited on what I can say. Um...I own a box of black gloves. And it isn't unsexy when we are experts showing off skills. But it's not exactly...romantic activity of the kind that mainstream folks would perhaps enjoy.

But yanno. Some folks like the Marvin Gaye and Luther Vandross style of getting down...some of us are more about a Nine Inch Nails sort of experience...all a matter of perspective.

I was thinking about putting something tongue in cheek in my profile like, "Reading should be your second favourite thing to do in bed :-) "

Men, do you think this comes off as trashy/too much? What would you think if you read that?

I have also put at the end of my profile "I’m looking for a relationship, not a 1 night thing".


I don't know anything about on-line-dating , because I have been taken out of the dating pool for the last 40 years.

I do Know one thing about men , placing something in your dating profile that you want a man with a strong sexual libido will only bring out the Freaks and Perverts that want to make love everyday for 2 minutes a pop.

Don"t mention anything about sex , just mention that you want a man with a passion for life and love and a long-term relationship , every woman has a man eject button , use it every time you come across a man with a low sexual libido!!!!

I'm not recommending it but I am saying people I have come across take an awful lot of risks.
Lovers that sleep with hundreds of Partners catch pregnancies and STDs 95% of the time , those that do not or in the 5 percentile range....

I only wish I could have better evaluated which ones were gonna be really fun, and which would be "meh" before it was happening. I think this is one of the reasons that I do just fine with more monogamish relationships (sexually fidelitous, at least)...I just don't really think that most "standard issue" sex is all that. When you find the one gu.
What I've read is that people in longer term relationships were more likely to contract certain STDs, because the theory is that 1) they are less likely to use condoms in a LTR and 2) the more times you have sex with an infected person, the more likely you are to contract the disease. And ironically, people who had multiple partners but just had one sexual encounter with each partner, were less likely to contract a disease. And it just makes sense that multiple exposures with the same infected person (such as in a LTR) would make it more likely to contract something.

Do you have a link to support this? Because there are too many variables that come into play. If a person has hundred partners but uses condoms 100% of the time, their likelyhood of getting an STD drops down to almost zero. Same with the risk of pregnancy - it drops down to almost zero.

What actual facts do you base this on?

To those who say that they've been with a 100 people and not caught a thing, I do kind of look them mentally, side-eyed and think, "Yeah, they probably have something...SOMEthing..but they are only asymptomatic carriers". The only way they could prove it to me is that if we both went to get blood tests together to confirm it. But there are some blood tests that can't really pick up herpes accurately, they wind up maybe being false positives or negatives. Visible sores can only prove that.

I think I read on a forum somewhere that this woman was married to her husband for 20 years, divorced, and started dating again and found out somehow she had herpes this entire time of her marriage. Of course, these are just outliers and of course those expressed here are rather flukes really.

I mean, who can have sex in the hundreds and not at least pick up something outside of the range of the condom?

Well, if you're pregnant they test you for "everything". So lots of people know whether or not they have something or caught something in the past.
