does having a few sexual partners make a person better at sex

[McHappyPants2012]

i have had 2 sexual partners, 1 we only did it the once when i was drunk so don't remember a thing 2 is now my husband.

so my question is does having a few sexual partner make a person better at sex.

IMO (and experience) women often move from partner to partner because they haven't quite found the right one yet. DH has had way less than me and he's definitely the better one in bed Mind you he is welsh, which helps.....

I've slept with 2 people. The first was my ex and it was crap, I think it was a lot to do with me as I had no idea what to do.

The second is my dp. We started off pretty tame but after 5 years of practise we now have a very varied sex life that we both massively enjoy.

I don't think it's the amount of people that matters to be honest, it's the amount of practise.

I would say yes to a point, DH had a few partners (more than 10) when I met him and I had only had 3 and I think it did make a difference. But I also think we were very compatible and there were no complaints from either side!

No. You might be good anyway because you got lucky and shagged someone who fits really well with you .

nah, I don't think so

some people will carry on being shit at it if they were shit in the first place (I am talking about the wham, bam, thankyou ma'am types)

having longer term relationships helps you to grow and explore your sexuality with someone you trust

being a shagabout means just that

jumping I expect I am many years younger than you and tbh its expected in the younger generation to have a fair few partners and no one bats an eyelid.If you settle down young most people think your bonkers

I think it's a mix of quality and quantity: you need to have had sex with a few men AND had sex with at least two men that you absolutely trust and have truly explored sex with.

Nope. I think the most and best sex is had between long term partners.

Jumping, sexual liberation IS generally accepted as the norm. And I don't think teenage girls particularly do that name calling anymore - and even if they did - teenage girls are not societies moral barometer, thank goodness. Teenage girls isolate clever girls and sporty girls - does that mean we should accept that as the norm too?

why do you need to have sex with a few men?
You just need one who you are happy to explore your sexuality with doesn't matter if it is your first lover or your 100th.

I'd say no, what makes someone good at sex is interest in the other persons wants/needs/satisfaction and personally I think a certain amount of willingness to explore and experiment is essential.

DH was a virgin when we married and he is excellent at sex.
And I have high standards!

Personally, I dont think mindsets and prejudices do change that much. We, as a society, may pretend they do but they don't. We judge. We may pretend we don't , but we do.

Lets put it in context:

If someone stuck a thread up about Katie Price, 98% would have nothing decent to say about her. She would be slated for her spray tans, false nails, bad acting, sexual proclivity, breasts etc, 1% would mention she is an astute business woman, 1% would mention she's a damned good mother. The other 98% would come back and say she's a crap mother for an endless stream of uncles, stepfathers and random shags all introduced to her children.

See, this is where DH and I get it all wrong. Who wants to "explore their sexuality" when they could be exploring a stuffed crust cheese feast with extra pepperoni and garlic bread?

Practice makes perfect but doesn't mean the practice needs to be with as many different sexual partners as possible. IMO.

No - I've slept with far too many people and used to treat sex as somewhere between an enjoyable way to keep fit and an interesting hobby. Almost alway been at its best with a long term partner, and I tend to work on the assumption that if I enjoyed it enormously they probably did too. I had some very interesting and entertaining experiences along the way, but nothing as good as where you can get to with a partner you trust and love (providing the enthusaiasm is there too!).
DP has had very few partners and is utterly wonderful.

jumping through hoops most ypung people have numerous sex partners before marriage but most are just normal people not like katie price.Anyway she jas said many times she hasnt even been with a great deal of men

"then teenage girls wouldnt isolate each other and call each other sluts in the corridors"

The different attitude to the sexual behaviour depending on gender is social conditioning and nothing else .

Which teenagers fall for, not having the wealth of experience and knowledge, to challange what they are bombarded with.

Having confidence, wanting quality sex and knowing what you like, makes you good at sex.

Anonymumous the trick is to order the pizza and while waiting have sex (will the deed be done before the knock on the door) then you have a snack for after lol

Girls are still called slags amongst the teenagers I know today . Nothings moved on which is a shame for young women.

I've had a variety of men, probably a lot more than the average woman and I would say that I tend experiment more in a longer term relationship. I've had some great ONS but am shy at first and agree that you can scare an inexperienced guy off by pulling out all the tricks the first time.

My DH has only had 3 partners, one of them me. I've only had sex with my DH. We both have a brilliant time and have from the very beginning so I don't necessarily think that having a lot of practice makes you perfect

Jumping, having a lot of sex and introducing a series of random shags to your kids are two very different things.
I've no idea if Katie Price does either.

If someone stuck up a thread about Ann Widdecombe, 98% of responses would be a negative. Would you therefore think everyone hates virgins?

JumpingthroughHoops I am shocked at your male friends! They won't have a 2nd date if the woman wants sex on the 1st date? I'd run for the hills if I encountered such a man. What dickheads

Sorry, I know you're just the messenger

I think practice with other people doesn't necessarily make you a better lover, hence number of partners does not make for better sex. Not everybody likes the same things, gets turned on in the same way etc. I think practicing sex with one person and thinking that makes you an expert with another is a bit like practicing football and expecting you'll get good at rugby
