Two Thousand Sexual Partners

AIBU to judge a man who has had sex with 2,000 people? I normally do not judge the number of people someone has sex with, but this is way over the top.

It doesn't sound... fun.

LoniceraJaponica · 25/11/2017 18:19

Those that are saying that 2000 is fine, would you judge those who have only had a handful of partners?

Italiangreyhound · 25/11/2017 18:19

If course you can judge people for the number of people they sleep with! You can firm opinions or judgments on anyone! You can't discriminate generally by law but you are allowed your own opinions!

No, why would I?

I am not saying either extreme is the ideal, all that counts is it works for the individual involved.

I have no interest in judging other people on how they conduct their sex lives (as always with the caveat that it is legal and consensual)

2000 sexual partners is an awful lot IMO.

I simply can't get my head around the logistics of someone who has had sex with that many people. I am struggling to fathom how anyone could manage it. Or why anyone would want that many sexual partners. Confused

And regarding the comment '2000 sexual partners is pretty standard these days;' I am no expert and I don't know everyone else's sexual habits, but I doubt very much that this is true. I bet the vast majority of people have not had sex with even a tenth of that amount.

I remember a similar tale a while back, (in the news,) and someone commented that shagging one partner after another, night after night, (til you are into the multiple 100's,) is really no different to masturbating.

Rightly or wrongly, I wouldn't want to be with someone who had had sex with 2000 people. I am not saying they are awful or nasty or anything like that, as each to their own, but I just couldn't be with someone who had had sex with that many different people. As I said, I really can't get my head round it, at all...... As a few posters have said, it does sound like an exaggerated amount. Can he prove it? Probably not.

I do not know how people have the time for this sort of number. That's a really serious hobby, right there. I bet there are people who read 100s of books a year who spend less time reading that this chap does having it away.

I mean, is he squeezing one or two in on the train during his commute or something??

In the 70s/early 80s, one of my best friends was a gay man. Pre-HIV days, why shouldn’t he have as much fun as he wanted? Some things, like his regular prowling of the tow path, I found a bit questionable but that down to my Catholicism and possible lack of understanding of his lifestyle, especially as all his friends did the same whether in longterm relationships or not.

Then they all started to die. SadSadSad

It was normal back then. HIV made everyone more aware of stds and safe sex. Few people used condoms back then.

MrsTerryPratchett · 25/11/2017 18:24

2000 with enthusiastic consent is a lot better than 1 without.

Which appears to not register with some people.

LoniceraJaponica · 25/11/2017 18:25

"That's a really serious hobby, right there."

I had to laugh at this as there are many threads on MN about women whose partners spend all weekend devoted to their hobby. The mind boggles Grin

Eenymeeny123 · 25/11/2017 18:27

It's his own business but honestly why would he brag about it or why did he keep count??? Sounds like he was trying to get into the guinness book of records. Someone should tell him that it's the quality not the quantity that matters.

DorisDangleberry · 25/11/2017 18:34

If you assume a penis length of 15cm and an average of 100 pumps for each shag, that is 30km of cock. Approximately the distance from London to Windsor

BatteredBreadedOrSouthernFried · 25/11/2017 18:35

Those that are saying that 2000 is fine, would you judge those who have only had a handful of partners?

Confused why would I? Are you suggesting that those of us who think 2000 is fine actually think 2000 is better than 1?

I don’t judge people who have any number of partners, or no partners at all.

I judge people who rape, abuse, and coerce. I judge those who are unfaithful and those who are irresponsible with their own and others’ sexual health. Those who prey on vulnerable people for sex, those who lie to get it, those who brag about getting it, those who make people uncomfortable by talking about sex at inappropriate times and/or in front of inappropriate audiences.

I have no idea battered hence the question.

What an interesting detour this thread has taken Grin

PortiaCastis · 25/11/2017 18:39

Only a hundred pumps? Jeez a quickie merchant then !

BatteredBreadedOrSouthernFried · 25/11/2017 18:39

No idea of what? Why did you ask the question?

Hi, I did that equation and the result was minus four.

Guess I'm a dirty stop out 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Were you doing reverse cowgirl? Wink

KatrinaSHamster · 25/11/2017 18:44

I know someone who’s genuinely slept with over 600 women.

He’s awful in bed. Seriously. Has charisma, good looks and the gift of the gab. But never kept one woman around long enough to show him what to do.

DorisDangleberry · 25/11/2017 18:45

Jeez a quickie merchant then

If you have a target of 2000 you can't be hanging about - need to focus, get the job done. No fart arsing about

TheStoic · 25/11/2017 18:46

But never kept one woman around long enough to show him what to do.

Or no woman wanted to stick around long enough to show him what to do.

PortiaCastis · 25/11/2017 18:48

Grin wham bang thank you ma'am!!?
Who verifies these claims the Guinness book of Shagging ?

DorisDangleberry · 25/11/2017 18:51

Who verifies these claims the Guinness book of Shagging

In the past one had to have Roy Castle or Noris McSquiter physically present to witness it. Nowadays, it needs to be live streamed on Instafacetwit

PortiaCastis · 25/11/2017 18:52

Or SnapShag !!

MrMeSeeks · 25/11/2017 18:58

Also, to add, any man who in 24 yrs is not interested in having a relationship with any of the 2,000 women he has shagged is, by definition, an abuser.
That is not abuse.

*That gives me the RIGHT to judge whoever I like.
And, just like the them, I deny your right to argue, deny, or disagree.

Remember, #nodebate

Genuinely the weirdest thing I’ve ever read on mumsnet hmm*
And me Grin
If you don't want debate, don't post!
