Double standards

"A new nationwide survey, using high-tech methods to solicit candid answers on sexual activity and illegal drug use, finds that 29 percent of American men report having 15 or more female sexual partners in a lifetime, while only 9 percent of women report having sex with 15 or more men".

Always thought Yanks were anal retentive.

I would have thought 15 in one lifetime (especially for blokes) was a rather small number?

Perhaps Aussies are simply over sexed :hmp:

A young male will exaggerate how many women he has slept with in order to puff himself up in front of his mates. A young woman will knock off a number of men on her tally in order to keep her reputation in tact. As adults does it really matter as long as it's consensual and both people involved are upfront and honest with each other?

I'm not saying for one moment that I would be comfortable dating a woman whose list of conquests runs into triple figures, but there is a vast difference between a woman (or man) with a healthy sex drive and someone who will jump anything that moves.

Yep, agree totally Frank. A happy medium is the way to go. Someone who knows what they are doing and comfortable in their own skin, but not jaded enough to be shown new tricks

I'm the first to admit I was a shocker during my late 20's and 30's. Kind of let playing in a band go to my head. It was on offer so I took it I suppose. But I'll never forget someone very close to me saying that the difference between good sex, great sex and mindblowing sex was the emotions involved and although it took a long time to seep in I tend to agree with that now.

Anyone can have great sex but if you don't give a rats that's as good as it gets.

Well done Dave. It's rare men can be honest about there inflated ego's, so kudo's to you darlin'.

I agree for my own reasons to the point you made there though. I was one fucked up little puppy in my youth, I had no direction where it came to men & the smorgesboard set in front of me, I seemed to date every loser within a 50km radius, but nowadays I have no interest in wasting my time so knock dates back without a second thought. :look people our little girl grew up!:

All I want now is 'everything' I have male friends in my life & feel well balanced, so the all of nothing rule applies to sex.

There is someone with a healthy sexual appetite, and then there are people who are easy. Notice I said people, and didn't stipulate a gender.

Got no problem with a woman who enjoys being sexually active and has a healthy sex drive but I don't want to be with someone who isn't particular about who she jumps into bed with. Experience is a wonderful thing. Just as long as she hasn't experienced it with 100+ men before me.
