condoms don't always work, date rape is a reality and violence against women is a reality. To suggest otherwise is to fuck about with common sense.

This is someone you don't know, who is physically stronger, who may or may not have any number of STI's, who may or may not have a history of domestic violence etc

Peanut, contrary to MN Radfem lore, the vast majority of men are not VD-dripping, DV Rapists. The reason women are so enthusiastic unconcerned about bed hopping is because these risks are actually very small.

Again, I am not the one who sounds odd!

So are car accidents, plane crashes and domestic violence within marriages, but I don't see anyone being put off those.

We all KNOW that rape and violence happen and are shit and awful. I don't think hiding women away until they are ready for sex is the answer. I think educating men is.

Whatmeworry · 21/06/2012 14:47

I believe there was a big university study a few years ago about who is having the best sex. If I remember rightly it was women in their 40s and 50s who had been married for 20 yrs +

As with all studies you have to look at who did it and who funded it, and how it was done. Most studioes also show that women are way less promiscuous than men, which is statistically impossible.

I suspect that was the "right" answer rather than the correct one.

No. I slept with 23 people before dh and I was rubbish until I was with someone who I was comfortable enough to completely be myself in front of (no fear or making a mistake, being seen naked etcetc). I am pretty good now Grin If I had a new partner now I wouldn't be as good as I am with dh.

yellowraincoat · 21/06/2012 14:48

I agree you have to look closely at studies.

However, it's not statistically impossible that men are more promiscuous. Lots of dudes fucking the same woman, lots of non-promiscuous women.

Very easy.

Can you still get those chastity belts made from steel?

That'd stop the raping rabid men with their diseased cocks

yellowraincoat · 21/06/2012 14:49

You can Cockwomble, but I think they're mostly a kinky thing.

I apologise. "Statistically Extremely Improbable" then.

Well, not really Whatmeworry.

You could have 80 men in a town who love going out shagging and only 5 women. Eventually the 80 men get round all the women. It's really not that unlikely.

Just in reply to OP - not read the thread.

Of course not, otherwise no-one would have good sex with their first partner and things would only get interesting around the 3rd or 4th. I had a great time in bed with my first partner and pretty sure it was mutual.

Being in tune with your mate is the most important factor. Some people only learn to listen to what their partner wants after a few experiences of how not doing so renders things a bit rubbish - but plenty of others get that mutual pleasure is important from the off.

I think it depends on how many and for how long you had a relationship with them for. 100 1 night stands will teach you nothing, but 3-4 long-term relationships with sustained (ahem) intercourse may develop confidence and technique. Having said that I've slept with 14 men and 1 woman; mostly one night stands, 4 longish term(6+ months) relationships, and I still don't really know if I'm any 'good' or not. But I do know what I like/dislike

tinkertitonk · 21/06/2012 22:02

Of course it doesn't matter, most human activities require no practise to be any good. Such as, er, er, playing the piano, or winning the world cup, or designing bridges, or brain surgery.

Especially brain surgery.

Whatmeworry · 21/06/2012 22:41

Its like riding horses - do you believe you will be the best rider you can be if you've only ever ridden one horse?

PuffPants · 21/06/2012 23:09

If you're only planning to ride one horse, why should it matter?
