well i wouldnt ask that question to the woman i like even tho i know how she feels about this subject.
she dosnt need to ask me that but if she did she knows i would never lie to her.
to be honest nothing could affect the way i feel for her, nothing atall. i wouldnt let somthing as trivia as that stand in the way of something special.

I am quite baffled! I can't say I have ever been asked that question, seems rather juvenile to me, probably borne out of insecurity? I would hope a man was mature and intelligent not to ask but I can't see how it is relevant to anything. I have never asked that of someone else, can't say its ever occurred to me. But it is in the past and is personal. If I was asked and didn't answer, then he took offence, it would surely mean that this was a priority to him, over and above anything else. I would like to think that there were much more important things about me that he liked, otherwise BYE!!

It has nothing to do with "honesty." It has to do with some issues are personal and are just none of your business. I don't care if you are marrying them or not.

Moreover, how many people do a running tabulation of the number of people they've slept with over the years? What do you do, keep one of those clicker things with you? Or a tape machine thingy like they have in Baskin-Robbins with a screen on the wall that says "Now serving number 38?"

dunno confused

It might depend if this took place in your place of work. If yes, it might be in breach of Health and Safety laws! rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

I have no problems with telling someone how many partners I have had. And if they don't like it then that is just too bad for them. The past is the past and if you feel it should be kept there then they should respect that and move on. The numbers of partners you had dosn't make the person you are.

Maybe he is just insecure but that is his problem. If he wants a certificate he needs to ask the right question.

I have a little one who i the most definitely do not want to leave as an orphan in our wonderful World ......... That's why all those questions are extremely crucial for me. It has nothing to do with being nosy.

It seems to me that the only people that would really have a problem
being asked the question. Are people that are afraid of past demons
coming out.

It is a question of honesty, and health.

If you are uncomfortable with your own answer, then the issue lies with you!

Nooo...it is not an issue of "demons" or anything of the sort. The fact is, the WRONG question is being asked.

What the hell difference does it make "how many?" Is "how many" going to tell you whether or not the person has an STD or not?

And as to the honesty, are you asking the question as a means to determine a person's honesty? I think having to know something as ridiculous as "how many" people a person has slept with over the course of their lifetime speaks of serious self-esteem and trust issues.

Who CARES how MANY???

What difference does it make?

Do you think a person is more honest, a better person, a better mate, etc., if they have slept with one person? If you do, think again.

Do you think a person automatically has AIDS or something if they've slept with more than one person?

Do you think a person couldn't have AIDS if they've only slept with one person? If you do, think again.

I will pose the question to you again. How many people have YOU slept with?

oh I think an insecure man feels like he needs to be the best at it so his woman want abandon him. Insecure men have a hard time with their own worth and trust.

I was very up front with Dre about how many people I have been with and he the same with me.It did mean alot to me that he was that with me.I think if you are going to move to the next level as far as no protection I think they have that right to know where there partner has been and if you clean or not.

Again, what do you think you're accomplishing by knowing "how many?" I don't get it.
