>>153587As someone who would prefer a partner with fewer previous sexual partners, I disagree with the idea that its due to a lack of confidence or a need to control the woman, I also think that women should prefer men with fewer sexual partners. In my mind, once you’re committed a relationship strongly enough to have slept together, thats a sign of commitment, with marriage of course being a life-long commitment. Someone with many previous partners has demonstrated a lack of ability to stick to that commitment, and thus is less likely to be as committed to the relationship as i would be. of course if a girl was with someone when she was a stupid teenager, was taken against her will, didnt know what she was getting into, etc. im not thats shes uncommited, that’d be absurd. But the more partners someones split with, the higher the likelihood is that they’d do it again.
