How many sexual partners have you been with? This includes foreplay such as oral sex. What are your thoughts on the number; whether ambivalent, positive or negative?

0 and proud of it! When I get married, then and only then will it go up to 1. Again, proud of it. The only way it'll ever get to 2 via my consent is if I outlive my wife and remarry. (And I hope our marriage lasts many, many decades so I don't have to ever consider remarriage. ) IMO, the less the better.

After looking at Shales list I feel like giving ya'll a laugh. One sex partner. But I did kiss someone else, if kissing counts.

Well, I have actually sat down and gone thru my memory of all of my sexual encounters over a lifetime. Some ppl have done fewer and others have done more. I had about of quarter century of one partner in the timespan.

Good for you Lil Bro, I am very proud that you stick to your guns!

Never thought about it. No idea as far as a specific number. More than FM Less than Shale

Yes it is let me canonize you!

Look at the top of the board!

I see.

By the way forgiveness man I am awfully glad my husband had a bit of experience, because growing up on a farm he had gotten some strange ideas that a kind hearted prostitute set him straight about. Someone in the marriage needs to know a little about what they are doing. Since you are a virgin you need to hope your wife isn't.

He can always ask his Big Bro for some advice

@ Suzi: I pray she is a virgin. The "experience" crap is just an excuse to do it. I've never found basing my marriage on physical/material things to yield much promise. (Also find it funny that people are breaking out the judgment and the "you won't know what you're doing" arguments. It's almost as if my life decisions offend them, despite it having no impact on them. Strange. ) "Experience" just seems to tank many more marriages than it helps. Maybe you'd need experience if you view sex the way the world does. I don't view it that way, and thus I don't see it as something that I need to sleep around to get "experience" in.

Just don't ask me. I got the first two wrong!

I can guarantee you then it will take you a long long time to get it right, so that she too can enjoy it. Surely your religion doesn't forbid her enjoying sex too? Certainly it doesn't offend me that you are pure I just think one can put too much emphasis on purity the same as one can on sex. I was a virgin when I got married and I am still sure glad he had a little experience and it still took quite a lot of time to get it right. Today in this day and age I wish you luck in finding another virgin unless you are both 13, but then 13 year olds aren't allowed to marry.

[size=18]Where did you kiss him?

In his car.

A gentleman never tells. So in my case I guess about a dozen.
