Well, look at it this way; how many people get mad/fight or don't want to be w/someone because they haven't been w/alot of others? If I met a woman who had been w/alot of guys, I'd keep "one eye open". If she has only been w/me or one other long term guy I'd be much happier. One night stand women don't impress me much and I would think a woman would feel the same of a man.
Another thing, sex is just a small part of a relationship. Sex w/someone you love and care about is totally different than some one night stand....IMHO.
I think it's a good idea to have some relationship experience before getting married, not really for sexual reasons but so that you have an idea of what's "normal" and what's unhealthy, how to deal with certain issues and so on. In todays world marriages have to be held together from the inside, and it helps if both people understand how relationships work.
On the other hand, I think too much experience can be bad too. You end up learning how to get in and out of relationships, instead of taking care of the one you're in.
Truth is, all your partners will be human women (I assume). They may behave differently but the equipment's basically the same. So, if you've found someone you truly love, why not spend your time and energy developing a really great sexual relationship with her? Then, cheating won't ever be an issue.

I never thought of it that way...that's some really good insight; it describes at least a couple of people I've known. Sad but true, I think.

You sure? More people regret not having any variety before marriage than having it. Those are exactly the ones who feel the need to sow their wild oats when it's a little late.

I agree. Having been through several relationships made me realize that I shouldn't sweat the small issues. I am also better at figuring out what personalities and traits I want in a man for a life mate. When I was in my early twenties I didn't have a clue about any of this stuff.
And I think that there is definitely is a point of sampling too much in terms of dating different people. I think that as a woman, I would feel too used up and become too cynical about relationships if I was excessive in my dating habits. And I am not attracted to men that have played the field excessively. They seem unclean to me, too self indulgent about their sexual needs, and come off as having shallow values.
