Do you ever feel guilty for the number of people you've slept with?

Guilty? No.

Foolish? Occasionally.

No.. guilt isn't going to change anything! Live and learn..

No, it was fun.

Hello NY:

Nope. But I do regret the ones I didn't nail.

excon

Not me... I forget exactly how many, its more than some , less than others.

Nope. Because to feel guilty, that would mean I regret those relationships. The worst I feel is frustration from having wasted my valuable time on some of them.

Unless you are sleeping with someone else while in exclusive relationship, you should feel guilty because it's not fair.

We can often regret some of our choices but we make a choice and live with them. I know of some in the 70's that were as one said foolish. But would I change a single one, not a bit

Good God no! It's all a learning curve after all!

Even the bad experiences add to our experience! Ha ha!

No guilt here at all. I have always dated one person at a time. How many people do YOU date at a time??

Except on a few occaisions its usually been one at a time for me. Before I married I'd say it was only one at a time over 95% of the time.

When I was dating more than one person at a time (which is a good experience, by the way---more people should do it), NONE of the relationships I was in were on a sexual level. Nothing more than kissing, period.

But... I don't regret the number of people I slept with. Some of those relationships I regret a bit, but not the experiences involved that made me who I am today.

I didn't bring a poor, innocent baby into the world without the benefit of a father, and me a husband... what's to be guilty about?

Never guilty, it was a learning experience at the least, my husband knows- and he doesn't mind even though I have slept with more people than he has.
As long as I stop with him.
:)

Guilty, no.

I have also dated more than one person at a time. Back in my teen years there was one time when I was dating 5 guys at the same time, 2 of those relationships were physical. It was a terrible idea, and I do feel guilt for doing that to them.

I have a muddy past, and everything in that past has led me to where I am now, so how can I have any regrets?

I like who I am and where I am, and the past is exactly that, the past. It's the here and now that I'm concentrating on, things I can change, not things I can't.

Absolutely no regrets, not a single one - as someone said, I am who I am because of where I've been.

That being said - I have never felt the need to discuss numbers and/or experiences with a partner or potential partner. I've never answered the question and I've never asked it. I have been asked who I have LOVED - not who I've had sex with - and I've had no problem answering that.

I feel guilty about my number. It should be higher. A lot higher. :)

Wow - this sounds remarkably judgmental and insensitive.

It was with great pleasure... ok... maybe 1 or 2 might have been a mistake, but nothing I dwell on to date. The past is the past... one has to move on.
