im on my phone so can't link butwas driving and heard an ad on the radio for the Belfast telegraph. I'm hoping some of you can link and if not I will get the Paper later and scan it in.

Can you tell from looking at a woman how many sexual partners she has had. Who has slept with only one man who is saving herself and who has had 15 partners.

What do you think?

And the two women who have had more than one sexual partner - one is covered in tattoos and piercings and the other is from abroad and they've both had bi-sexual experiences.

So no stereo-typing there then Hmm

I am very angry and pissed off and am seriously considering emailing or writing to them.

Not at all.

It's scarlet woman stuff. Exposing and shaming the woman who acts sexually.

Also it's supposed to be titillating, because you're supposed to look at those three women and imagine them having sex. Grim.

It's horrible isn't it?

I'm not over-reacting?

The article is just wrong on so many levels - it's not online that I can see but the text of it is horrible and the interviews are a bit one sided - there's 3 Christians who chose to wait and their interviews are a whole page, and 2 girls who have slept with both men and women (ie no woman who has just slept with men) and their interviews are only 1/4 of the size of the others.

It's the use of teh word "should" that sticks in the throat - how many men should a woman have slept with? Who has the right to define what's an appropriate number?

I've now read the article and it really worries me.

One of the comments is that women with a large number of sexual partners are often branded easy whereas men feel comfortable boasting about their number of conquests.

Still looking, but meantime, I found this. Confused

'Kin 'ell.

Unless they're going to do the same for three men, that's pretty dodgy, and prurient. Who cares, and why?
