What happened in the past is exactly that, the past. We all went to college; we know what that is like. Please help me guys.

I don't think that 30 is that high of a number. I know some of my sorority sisters have gone way over that. Your boyfriend sounds like a prude.

why do people still have this conversation?

don't ask questions you can't handle the answer to.

Very true.

I've had 6....in 2 /12 years (and I was with one for 15 1/2 months)...so yeah, that's a lot but whatever. There were 2 one night stands along the way.

I have no problem honestly hearing the answer from a guy that I'm with, because I know he's committed to me.

[JocelynC]

I've had none.

i've had this convo before and in my opinion it's never a "good" convo to have - somebody always gets hurt - like others have said, as long as you're committed now, why should it matter?

I am dreading the day that I have to have this conversation.

Not on my side, because I do not make a secret of the fact that I'm in the same boat as JocelynC.

But on the other person's side.

I honestly do not know what would bother me more- a promiscuous period that you regret, or multiple intercourse times in many relationships (as compared to one or two) that were healthy but simply did not work out.

I would feel very uncomfortable with someone who is significantly more experienced than I am. As well as with someone who thinks he can have premarital sex because he's male, but expects his bride to be a virgin and requires it (as compared to someone who simply does not care about his wife's experience level). And of course- I do not want someone who will think less of me because of my lack of experience, which is simply by my choice.

Hopefully I will find someone who shares my morals in theory and in practice.

I'm sorry. I know this is a cheap shot, but please take it in the fun manner in which it intended.

But...

Where were you women when I was in college?

[lilsunshine214]

My boyfriend and I are each other's one and only. I've always said I was going to have my one and only at the end of the aisle, we just haven't gotten to the whole aisle part yet.

By no means am I promiscuous, but I can see how you have 30some partners and while growing up that number would have sounded huge to me, now I think differently... and as not to get people judging me, check your pm's.
