studies show that women prefer men who have had less sexual partners (as do men as well) why do women feel this way? does it really matter?

Definitely agree with hellraiser when it comes to similar views of sex. For me sex is a very meaningful and vulnerable intimacy I hesitate to share so I could NEVER do it with a guy super casual about it. Our values wouldn’t be aligned. It can also lead to miscommunications about where you and your partner are at romantically because the act means different things.

couldn’t be me. or my bf. but it makes sense to me. lot of people just want someone with similar experiences and a similar view of sex. i can see how if someone takes sex very seriously they’d be uneasy with knowing their partner had sex just seeing it as a means of fulfilling sexual desires, devoid of connection and love. insecurity and retroactive jealousy likely factor in as well. along with doubts about their partners commitment, loyalty and character.

Hmm. Imma need to see the methodology before I take this one and run with it, bc I feel like this was (somehow) the same “study” that also just found that Tylenol causes autism lol

So uh ngl I’m a dude looking for his girlfriends comments to upvote but without getting into too much detail we are both waiting for marriage and glad the other has the same beliefs because we both view sex as more than a casual act. Her reasoning is very similar to mine in that we both know waiting is hard to do but we respect each other for doing it and we are both looking forward to potentially one day being each other’s firsts.

to clear up any misconceptions, just because someone has enjoyed casual sex in the past does not mean that they don’t have the capability to also see sex as more meaningful in a different context. my bf and i both had lots of casual sex but we don’t view sex with each other to be meaningless. with each other we view it as an intensely intimate away to express our love and deepen our connection. as well as a means to satisfy sexual impulses

That’s also very true! Didn’t mean to imply sex can only be viewed as black and white. Enjoying casual sex doesn’t mean someone can’t also experience meaningful sex. So I should edit my comment to say I’d rather date someone who LARGELY sees sex as meaningful vs meaningful with the right person and purely casual other times. The latter isn’t bad, just too far from my comfort zone.
