What is the appropriate number of sexual partners to have? Who gets to decide when someone is being a slut or a prude? Can men be more promiscuous than woman and get away with it?
These questions haunt my brain when I think about all the men and women getting together around me and with me. As a female, I’ve been raised to believe I should be sweet and innocent, but I have definitely not turned out that way. And I say thank God.
So, when it comes to the number game, what is a good number of people to have slept with at the college age? Is one person enough experience or should one go into the double digits? Of course, some people are virgins and that’s great for them, but in today’s sexual world virgins are far and few between it seems. Plus, virgins are a whole different column.
As a sexually active single gal in my 20’s I have been asked my number several times by men I’ve dated. And I must admit that I have lied about it a few times. Sometimes to make it seem like I’m more experienced than I really am, or to make it sound like I’m less experienced. I shouldn’t lie about something like this, but I also don’t want to be judged wrongly.
That’s where the question comes in, what is the politically correct number of people to have slept with? I personally do not think this number should be different for men and woman. Yet, society finds it ok, even great, when men have many sexual partners.
I shouldn’t have to give a feminist lecture on this, because we should all know and realize men and women are equals. Thus, it should not matter who has more sexual fun or experiences. Unfortunately, not all people feel this way.
Women defiantly get called sluts and whores much more than men. And usually there number isn’t even as high as a typical males. My point is we need to stop looking at men and women in different sexual categories. We all have sex, we all generally like some form of it. Therefore we should not be ridiculed or judged for indulging in these sexual escapades.
So I say fuck being PC and enjoy what sex drive you have been given. If you are a virgin, embrace that. If you have slept with more people than your boyfriend, it’s okay. Let’s be safe and have fun, and keep the judging to actual contests not our sex lives.
