Cheating

[TheGoldStandard]

Is it still cheating if you make a pillow fort on the bed? Asking for a friend.

I've always thought people think they could handle an open relationship but I think very very few people are actually wired that way. Pretty rare for everyone in a poly relationship to actually be 100% good with it. I think usually there is someone who really wants to be with we'll say person A but person A wants to be in an open relationship so person B is just trying to please them.

The Poly joke is that there is always a sex imbalance, as in the poly girl will always be having way more sex than the poly guy.

Idk if poly people are more or less happy, but it's more to deal with if you're trying to actually do poly relationships and not just one main and a bunch of **** buddies.

So, you're one of those people who think straight men have more sex partners on average than straight women?

Depends on if you and your friend are both in the pillow fort, or if one of you is attacking it with your battering ram.




Or battering nub, as the case may be.

Well on almost every study conducted, men report nearly double the number of sexual partners over their lifetime than women do (in arguably the most famous survey, the Natsal-3, men reported 14 partners, women 7). Even excluding the 99% percentile in those studies show men still have a 30% higher "number" than women. Even taking estimation into account, rather than actually counting partners, men still showed about 25% more partners.

That is a tough one to nail down. Should it be a 1 to 1? Is it mathematically possible that men are at a 25% higher number than women? What if men are including same-sex relationships and women are not? Interesting for sure.

I think it's probably pretty even.

Why did you take that from the quoted post?

I think men generally desire multiple partners more than women, but in the case that a women desires multiple partners, they usually have more than men.

I'm sure the number is trending more towards 1:1 as our culture becomes more progressive.

I actually thought he was saying its the opposite

I personally would think it’s the opposite.

I think the average woman actively seeking sex partners has more success doing so than the average man. I also think the top 5% or so of very attractive men have a considerably easier time finding sex partners than the average man does. I don't think the same applies to women to the same degree, or at least it isn't as exclusive. I'd guess the top 30% of attractive women have very little trouble finding someone to have sex with if they want to, but I also think those women tend to only want to have sex with the most attractive men.

I'm just pulling all of this out of my *** based on my own observations so take it for what it's worth.

I really don't think your attractiveness has that much of an effect on your ability to attract a partner as a guy.

If you put any effort into your appearance (as in haircuts/gym/clothes that fit) you'll be suitable to most women. Then at that point it's just your ability to be engaging/fun/charming/confident.

Given that there are slightly more women, more like 100 : 99, but basically no difference.

No. Every time man has an encounter with a woman, a woman has an encounter with a man.

What if men are including same-sex relationships and women are not? Interesting for sure.

Hence the use of "straight" as a shortcut for referring to sex with the opposite gender.
