I think the old saying about what men want: "a lady in the drawing room, a whore in bed" tells it exactly the way it still often is, really. PRECISELY! If a woman popped up on here and said "I have fucked 285 guys" almost everyone would think that she was a giant whore... it is accepted when guys say it. I just went about making a point in a different way... it is much more provocative when done in an indirect way. Yeah, people on this site might accept it, but most people aren't hip to the idea of some guy fucking 285 other guys. You know. | |

The only point I am trying to make is it is intended, to me, that men are sexually able to reproduce, early and often. Nature brings this into their world without asking for it. It comes, so to speak. It fills a man's mind with sexual thoughts and desires. All meant to keep humans reproducing. I guess I am going to quit debating this issue, as we clearly disagree. Since humans are animals, I would not argue that people were not meant to reproduce as animals. What I am arguing, however is that humans are far more complex social beings then animals and we NEED a solid structure in which to raise children, therefore monogamy is actually a characteristic that will lead to the betterment of humankind. Ice, you are assuming that a solid family capable of raising children well can only include two adults. Non-monogamy does not have to mean fucking as many people as possible, or not being loyal to your family. In my case, I would like an expanded family of adults --3 or 4 maybe-- who are loyal to each other, each a spouse to every other. As it turns out, people who feel this way are so rare that I'm actually living in a traditional 1 man/1 woman marriage, but I don't consider it necessarily ideal. I don't see that this makes me unable to participate in the betterment of mankind with my family. Doves, Mel!ssa | |

i don't care how many women he's been with, as long as he's responsible about his sexual hygiene
if he's clean and cares enough to keep me clean as well when we become lovers, then whatever of course, guys who BRAG about the quantity of their encounters make me wonder whether the quality of their technique is that great since, if they were good, the women would want to come back for seconds and apparently aren't since he's gotta find another my 2c [This message was edited Wed Jan 8 11:15:26 PST 2003 by XxAxX] | |

listen a man can be a hoe just like a woman can be a hoe and just because a man sleept with a number of women, doesn't nesscarily make him a gigglo or player ... If a man claim 2 have slept with alot of women ... I probably wouldn't believe him anways, so i guess my answer would be no. I would just see him as a man who's afraid of 2 deal with real emotions such as love. [This message was edited Wed Jan 8 11:18:06 PST 2003 by DigitalLisa] | |

Depending on how many is "lots of women" they're every bit the slut as their female counterparts who are always deemed sluts. What about guys who constantly claim that they are the hottest thing going? What do you think there?

Conceit of any kind is a turn off IMO, but that's just me. If a man brags about numerous sexual partners, he's doing it proudly & smugly, as if finding a bunch of dumb broads is a feat.

Personally, I don't wanna hear about the man's Conquests. I want the man to show me with Actions and Technique just how Skillful he is and Bragging isn't doing anything but flapping your Gums. I want a Lover not a Talker. Show me Baby what you Got in Your pants and work it as Missy says or else go Home and talk to Yo Self and Your Hand! And Furthermore...I hate those Stupid RULES of Sexual Ediquette on how Many Dates UNTIL>>> That just is so Lame and after waiting 3 months you better just stay Friends cause it Ain't Happening... I once waited 7 years before me and a Potential could get it on well tell you sumething after that he got Old and Changed and I lost my Fire for him and he was just Too Damn Slow Making his Move...I Hate Overly Forceful Men or Slow Ones. Basically,if we are dating and all and we click well I don't believe in that Waiting Game. That's Bullshit and I jumped on my ex after 3 years of Sexual tension and he told me I love you and it was Sex all the time for Years. So if you have the Hots for somebody and all why wait? Tommorrow may Never come and you May Drop Dead Overnight. Take advantage Of these Years of Youth and have Fun! If you are Saving it Girls well remember sometimes a first time isn't always forever and sometimes Disappointing as all Hell. As Prince says when 2 R In Love or I'd say even Lust Get Busy!!! | |

I truly believe that men and women both can be monogomous in the sense that they only have one partner their entire lives. My grandparents are proof that this can happen. They fell in love and never parted... and never cheated... until my grandfather passed away.
I also truly believe that men and women both can be monogomous in a relationship... be that a marriage or boyfriend/girlfriend. Everyone will have urges from time to time. It is up to the individual whether or not they will follow through with them. If someone truly loves and cares for another, they will respect that person and remain faithful to him/her, no matter how strong their desires may be. I think a lot of this has to do with the times we are in today. Back when my grandparents were young and in love women did not flaunt themselves in front of men who are in a relationship as readily as some women do today . It is all too common today that people do not respect relationships. To me, that is a total lack of respect on the other woman's part and it really shows that she has little respect for herself. Men do this too, flirt with women who are in a relationship, but I think women are less likely to follow through with their urges because women tend to commit more to the heart. Just my two cents. | |

But I do believe that even if a single woman "flaunts" herself, it is still ultimately the married man the wife needs to blame if he strays, since he's the one she has the commitment with...the "other woman" most likely has low self-esteem and is trying to prove her attractiveness by going after something she's not supposed to have. And she is, of course, betraying her "sister" and placing male approval and desire before female friendship and respect | |

IceNine said: LaVisHh said: IceNine said: True in a sense... AND, humans are animals. There are animals that are monogamous and humans just might be one of those animals that were meant to be monogamous.
Ah, but those in the animal kingdom that are monogamous ARE. The majority of humans are NOT. Who here claims to only have had one partner, ever? I would argue that monogamy is a characteristic of humanity and that human weakness in the face of temptation is the culprit. Our evolved brain and the nature of our mental processes allows us to "choose" to ignore nature. Indeed, mankind has a long history of subverting nature through various methods, therefore it would not be surprising at all if humans have subverted the natural tendency toward monogamy. Then why are there so many more women than men? Shouldn't there be more of a balance for this monogamy to work? I haven't seen anything that makes me think monogamy is any more natural than multiple partners. And you don't have to be married to be monogamous. And Money is the excuse for divorce. Most marriages end from cheating than financial woes. Love can survive poverty, it can't survive cheating. | |

I once dated this guy who couldn't stop talking about his old girlfriend and how she done him wrong. He even had us walk past her house. It was all the time. I couldn't stand it and quickly said Goodbye since he was Obviously still in Love with her. Quite annoying to be on a date while he talked about his ex and her wrongs. I felt like he should call her back up for a date. | |
