What's your "magic" number?


I recently saw a story about knowing the number of sexual partners your boyfriend or girlfriend had before you, and this got me thinking about do you really want to know?

Whether the number is one, ten or a thousand we all have a “magic” number at the end of the day so why do we need to know what our partner’s number is? I can understand that it is probably a common thought amongst people about what it is as everyone has some sort of curiosity and if you are like me then you’re just pretty nosey and want to know everything about everyone.

But just think about it, do you really want to know everything about your partner? After all everyone has a past and have certain things they don’t want anyone to know. So if you are going to ask just think about whether you really want to know the answer, because once they tell you there’s no going back, and you may not like what you hear, and do you really want to put the pressure of dealing with that into a relationship? I know it’s not the end of the world but couples have broken up over knowing things like this. I don’t know anyone personally who this has happened to but I read it in an article so therefore it must be true, right?

If you do ask the question and they tell you then just remember, that is all in the past and I’m pretty sure the majority of them would have been one night stands, (because if they have slept with a thousand people I pretty much doubt they were all serious relationships) and as we all know one night stands are about sex and sex only, most people have had them and you’ll know they’re just meaningless no strings fun.

The most important thing to remember is, no matter what the number is they’re with you now and no one else so it shouldn’t matter at all how many people they’ve slept with.

But, what I did hear once was that if you don’t want you partner to know your “magic” number then just remember, you become a born again virgin when you enter a new relationship. So technically there’s not been anyone else.
