Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health 
Half people say it does, half that it doesn't.
Among the half arguing that it didn’t, there is a further divide: the men who didn’t care about women’s pasts because they had no intention of ever ending up in any form of committed long-term relationship... and the men who didn’t care because they legitimately thought a woman’s past had no bearing on her future.
Why should you care?
a 2007 study of American women,"Sexual infidelity in a national survey of American women: Differences in prevalence and correlates as a function of method of assessment.,"discovered a 7% increase in infidelity risk per each additional partner (also, a 10% decrease in infidelity risk per each additional year of education) for women.

You may be surprised to know that 1 out of 10 children born in marriage in the United States are not fathered by the husband in that marriage, or carrying a permanent infection from one of her past partners.
When did she first have sex
Has she ever had sex with friends
Has she ever cheated on a romantic partner before, whether she says, “Yes, and he absolutely deserved it!”or,“I did, but I was young and immature and I’ve grown tremendously since then,” your response has to be the same: she’s out of the running (unless you want an open relationship).
If the first time she had sex was 22, she was too busy focusing on her studies in college to date, party, or spend an ounce of time on boys, her first lover was her tutor in school right before she graduated, and she attends religious service regularly, you’re safe not probing any further, usually.
If, on the other hand, she first had sex at 15, though only because her boyfriend was pressuring her; many of the men she’s been with since then were friends of hers; loves parties and dancing and drinking; and yes, she’s cheated before, but she’s grown a lot since then, you’ve got some cause to be concerned.
What Girls & Guys Said
23 38The past matters in businesses like insurance companies. It also matters in weather as the past is an excellent indicator of future behavior. Why are relationships exempt? You honestly think that if you are number 62 that there won't be a 63 and 64 when she gets bored, mad, or don't think she is being shown enough attention? What is going to go through your mind when one of you is out of town? Bottom line is if she never thought much of the sex act she probably never will. HUGE correlation with the number of partners a woman has had and the divorce rate. Like all addictions, if she had a random cock addiction, it will resurface. Also, women with the random cock addiction are less likely to use discretion with money, food, alcohol, or drugs. What is the upside with marrying a promiscuous woman? I like the fact that I can go out of town and the only hook up my wife will have is with a glass of merlot and a Stephen King book. She made me wait long enough to decide if I was relationship material, stable, and into her.
Couldn't have said it better.
Yes it does, a few is understandable okay, but bullshit you've been in love 6 times in your 21 years.
Treat women like public toilets. Don't think about who has used it before you or who will use it after you. Just hope that it's relatively clean when you need to relieve yourself. She's never your girl, it's just your turn.
Past matters. Anyone who says past doesn't matters is either lying or not looking for a serious relationship.
only if you want it to
Past always matters. I can't believe how many people think that the past doesn't matter with a person:
''Oh, you cheated on every single boyfriend you had in the past, but it doesn't matter''
''Oh, you physically abused most of your past boyfriends, but it doesn't matter''
''Oh, YOU RAPED YOUR LAST BOYFRIEND?''... well, past doesn't matter, right?''
It is a lot easier to be a slut than a stud. This is not an opinion. This is a fact. You notice that, at least with this little survey, it definitely matters a lot more to men. It's because it is a good sign if she's decent looking and refrained from sleeping with a bunch of men.
it matters, really really matters
If a man with principles and like a woman like that, then Of course its matter !!!
Otherwise. if both of them were hoes, then not so much. lol
No matter what path you choose, you should deal with the consequences !!!
Past matters. Anyone who says past doesn't matters is either lying or not looking for a serious relationship.
It only really matters if you know how she got some of the "notches on the belt" so to speak. If you know that she got them by cheating then it matters. If she was single and having fun then not so much because at the end of the day we all do that... so who cares.
People gotta start somewhere I see nothing wrong with having past partners even if a lot as long as they don't got stds.
While your past make soyu the person you are, I don't think people should be judged this much based on how many people the've slept with. It doesn't define who you are as a person.
I, for example, had 10 sexual partners, 2 of which were non-serious boyfriends and 2 were long term relationships. The first time I've had sex wa at 17. I have never had an STD, and I consider myself smaart enough to never get one. I study at a decent university. I have never cheated on any of my partners and I never will. I know that I am perfectly capable of being somebody's wife and have a functioning relationship. Sex really isn't a good indicator of somebody's personality, in my opinion.
The number does matter but not only does the number matter but also who those individuals they had sex with. The number of ex-partners they've had and who those ex-partners are speaks volumes about their character and overall behavior. What also matters is how they view their past behavior. If a girl has slept with 5 guys in the past 2 years and these were all hook-ups with drug addicts and they don't see anything negative about their actions. . . Not exactly the kind of person I want to pursue a long term relationship with.
I totally agree!
I like how men on here think every woman with a higher sexual partner than 0 will cheat while they also preach that men don't cheat, no matter whether they sleep around or not. 😂
When did that happen? Never in my entire life have I ever heard a man claim that men don't cheat, not once. What is being stated is that if you look at the data the more partners you have the more likely you are to cheat, divorce, or be unhappy in long term relationships. This is empirical data not opinion.
Well, every other man says that on here, so you either don't read it, or you can't remember it because they agree with your worldview... And if it such an existing data, why doesn't it appear in your linked study? *rolling eyes*
I have never heard a man say that because to date I have never heard a man say that. No, it has nothing to do with worldview I am well aware that men can and do cheat, I just happen to acknowledge that women also cheat. As for the linked data, I didn't link anything, however multiple studies have shown that the more partners you have the more likely you are to cheat, divorce and be unhappy in long term relationships which is why I did point out that this was an accurate statement (what the poster said).
Then link the studies.
Well he already provided you a link and you ignored it so when I link to more your also going to ignore them because you don't like what they have to say, in fact you will double down and become more convinced that I am wrong and the studies are wrong so that begs the question of why bother? However I will humor you (fully knowing how your going to respond as I have already pointed out). Here are the numerous statistics and studies (either they are direct links or the links provide the links to the study and a break down of what they mean): s3.amazonaws.com/.../Bookofcharts.pdf

It depends on the person. I know a guy who actually came on here years ago and said if a woman's number was over 6, she was basically disgusting. He's now dating a girl who used to escort and has been with well over 30 men.
It doesn't matter if the feelings are there. I personally don't ask.
I always ask the guy with the assumption he has doubled or tripled the amount of girls he has actually had sex with.
@Paige90 Yeah, it's a bitch for guys to be a slut and to sound like you might be good enough to mate with most guys will inflate their experiences.
