You know there used to be a time when people were very uncomfortable talking about sex openly but now it seems like that’s the ‘new cool’. I judge not. Am just amazed at how everyone is now being so open about it. (ermm no am not tbh) Okay we are all sinners…shikena. Anyway so this post is as a result of some #NHBi thing I saw on Twitter… (Mind you I have no idea what #NHBi stands for so please don’t ask).
Do guys care about how many people you have
slept with? I would say that is a resounding YES. Call it Ego, the other 25% that
makes up men’s bodies after water, but most guys seem to have some level of
discomfort regarding how many people their significant other has been with. I
would guess it’s because they would like to think that they are the only one
you've had (can be possible), and failing that, the biggest and the best you've
ever had. Due to our fears of repercussions and looking less like the virgin
Mary to our beloved’s, most women have some level of discomfort saying just how
many people they have been with. Which means they would undercount to a number
that suits their significant other’s ears. Never fear ladies…he has probably
inflated his number as well.
A guy likes to feel or think perhaps that you are
‘his’ as it is a macho instinct which is ingrained into the male wiring system.
Now he can go ahead and do two things with this instincts, which is one, to act
on it and be an assclown with his expectations that his woman should either be
a virgin or have slept with very few people (which again i say can be possible). Or, he can have this instinct but
keep it in check because in the real world, short of meeting a woman at 18,
there tends to be a level of sexual history that has been gathered.
Where the double standard kicks
in though, is that often than not a guy racked up some big digits with sexual
partners, but STILL somehow manages to think that his woman should be holier
than thou.
My take personally, I don’t think
that you should be discussing how many people you've slept with, because quite
frankly, no matter what number either of you say beyond zero, or one, one or
both of you won’t take the answers well. If you have had previous sexual
partners, you should both be discussing things from the safe sex point of view
(i.e. when were either of you last tested?) but I fail to see what knowing the
‘magic number’ is going to do for either one of you. (Not unless you can use it
to collect money from the bank, then by all means please probe very hard so we
can share the money).
I think people have a tendency to
fall into the honesty zone with relationships where people think that
being in a relationship means that you should spill the beans on every little
iota of your life, and do it whilst you’re sitting on the toilet doing #2 with
the door wide open. Give me a break please! You don’t have less of a relationship
by knowing exactly how many people your partner has slept with. You would
certainly find out through conversations when your partner lost their virginity
and the exes they have, so you can do the math without plugging their fingers
in a lie detector and demanding answers.
Failing all of these, he who ask
first, spills first. ‘Dems be the rules’
Before you go i did a post titled why won't you love me baby? and one of my dear readers suggested i do another post on how one can explore their hidden emotions. I had read a post by Elsieisy which i thought would go be helpful for someone looking to move on from lost love. To read post click Here
