A Friday night diversion that I suspect might be of mild interest to some Kossacks. How many sexual partners have you had?
The rantin, righteous, righties would claim progressives and liberals are immoral and would have more sexual partners than upstanding paragons of conservative virtue like a Pastor Ted, or a Newt Gingrich, or a Rudy Guillain.
Did the times you were raised in affect your sexual behavior? Were you part of the hippy-dippy free love 60s, the me generation, the anything goes disco scene, I’m not going to have sex because I might die of aids generation, I learned sex was OK from MTV, or from Internet porn; and how did that influence your behavior? How did the role of religion or other moral teachings influence your behavior?
More below:
I came of age in the hippy-dippy free love 60s, but the sexually liberating zeitgeist of those times was somewhat offset by 9+ years of Catholic education. So shortly after I shed all of my Catholic indoctrination I was in what has turned out to be my life long relationship. But the important thing is I have no real regrets on the number of partners I had – well maybe except for not partnering with Carol ;-)
What is the total number of sexual partners that you had? No need to exaggerate in an anonymous poll (estimate the number if necessary). I’ve narrowed the partner range at the lower end of the poll. I’m guessing the behavior behind someone with 2 partners may be different than someone with 20 partners as compared to the motivations between someone with 20 partners and someone 40 partners. I’m just trying to group results in what might be a statistically meaningful way.
And feel free to comment on the particulars regarding the total number you list in your vote! Inquiring Kossacks would like to know!
