Assume that there’s no STIs involved. How comfortable would you be with a partner with numbers in the double digits? Triple digits?

When would be the appropriate time to share that kind of information?

    Context not included, the number itself doesn’t matter, but the context with the number can potentially matter. For example if they had sex with 50 people and thought they were in love with most of them, then how can i feel like their love for me is real and going to last? But if they had sex with 1000 people when they were being sex trafficked against their will, then (aside from concerns about possible related trauma) the number wouldn’t matter at all.

      What if they had sex with 1000 people willingly and enjoyed it, but weren’t in love with all of those people?

        Again, I’d need to know the context. Was the person a sex addict? Were they in a contest with their friend to see who could have sex with the most people? Etc etc etc? 99.99% of people don’t get anywhere near 1000 sex partners, so for me I’d need to know the context that led up to that result
