Do you judge people who have had sex with a lot of people?

Please be honest.
How much would it have to be for you to judge negatively?
And does it make a difference to your judgement if it is a man or woman who has had sex with a lot of people?

How would you even know? It's not like you go about asking folks this?

Hedgehogblues · 09/10/2018 13:58

Makes no difference to me at all

calderdalechange · 09/10/2018 13:59

Nope as long as no one is getting hurt

HarrySinger · 09/10/2018 13:59

Nope

abacucat · 09/10/2018 14:00

Bluntness It is the kind of thing that sometimes gets talked about between good friends.

I couldn’t care less.

Growingboys · 09/10/2018 14:01

Yes I judge them but not necessarily in a bad way - eg I have lots of friends who had traumatic childhoods and then sought solace in shagging for a period. Totally get that and I'm sure I'd have done the same.

Being honest I would judge a woman more harshly for this than a man. I know that's not ok.

Equally some of my friends shagged loads of ppl as they were total babes and all the boys wanted them! I judge them in a jealous way!

mostdays · 09/10/2018 14:02

No, not at all.

What's 'a lot' to you anyway?

MephistophelesApprentice · 09/10/2018 14:02

I would judge them. I'd be envious of the lucky gits, and wish I could be more like them.

EmeraldVillage · 09/10/2018 14:02

No but I would think twice before sleeping with them. A bit academic since I’m married but you get the drift.

PrincessWire · 09/10/2018 14:03

I have shagged quite a lot of people. Nobody knows my circumstances and I don't accept anyone's judgement.

Almostthere15 · 09/10/2018 14:03

Well mostly I wouldn't know. But so long as everyone was safe and consensual I wouldn't care. I would judge infidelity, because I can't stand it but otherwise consenting grown adults can do what they like.

Why op - are you judging or worried that you're being judged?

RoboJesus · 09/10/2018 14:03

Only if I was going out with them or the kind they had was not legal or ethical

statetrooperstacey · 09/10/2018 14:05

I have -ahem- been round the block a few times 😁 So wouldn't judge at all. Presumable fun was had between consenting adults so nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about.

Bombardier25966 · 09/10/2018 14:09

@EmeraldVillage What drift is that?

NonaGrey · 09/10/2018 14:10

I have no idea how many people any of my friends have slept with.

I don’t care either regardless or make or female.

If it was a really huge number I might feel a bit sorry for them because it’s not usually a sign of happiness (in my experience). I would never comment though.

PhilODox · 09/10/2018 14:11

I think it would have to be literally into the thousands before I thought any judgy thoughts tbh. I just don't know where people get the time!

abacucat · 09/10/2018 14:11

Yes I do judge when it get into the hundreds. With women I would assume it is to do with low self esteem or traumatic childhoods though.

NonaGrey · 09/10/2018 14:12

I don’t think just with women OP.

I'm glad my friends don't talk about this! I'll stick to topics such as films, mountains and travelling thank you very much!!! Grin

Tentomidnight · 09/10/2018 14:16

No judgement from me. I just assume they’ve had fun.
Ime, men can be very judgemental of women in this way though. I’ve experienced this, usually from men with much less ‘history’ and stemming from their own insecurity.

MickHucknallspinkpancakes · 09/10/2018 14:17

Yes I do.

Lucky buggers.

Monr0e · 09/10/2018 14:18

What do you class as "a lot"?

What might be a lot to one person may seem insignificant to another.

Personally, I have no idea how many people my friends have slept with but if I did I can't imagine judging them for it. They are my friends for other reasons.

dinosaurkisses · 09/10/2018 14:19

The only reason I’d be judgy is if they were hurting others (eg infidelity or ghosting) or if they were “collecting” conquests rather than just shagging for the fun of it.

EmeraldVillage · 09/10/2018 14:21

All I meant was that I don’t plan on sleeping with anyone else given in married. Therefore it is rather theoretical.
