I seem to be unable to do casual.
The last one? Married him and it lasted 14 years.

For me, casual isn’t fulfilling. Likely tied to my demisexual nature and strong need for trust and connection.

I had concern in the 80s because my guy friends were doing each other and strangers in the Rise of The Plague. We had figured out unprotected sex was spreading HIV, but the outlook and attitude was one of “we are going to die anyway.”
Many did.

Today, I dislike players of any gender, any sexuality. It has a stink of use.
Players are separate from casual or friends who boink.

overall, it’s the attitude that cheapens human life more than the poking in holes bit that turns me off.

i totally agree with you!! that mentality "we are going to die anyway" is the same way gays act today. "i gotta fuck as much people as i can because i´m gonna die" me me me, so selfish. i´m glad that you think that way!

if I was able to find people that I agreed with, I'd be able to be having more frequent sex with more partners. Am I put off by "the town slut"? somewhat. Like... actual feelings and Consent are to be taken into account, and as long as they're present in the moment with me, what should I care?

It is everyone's responsibility to keep their health in check, and follow up with anyone that is involved with them when things go awry.

I wonder how coming of age in the beginning of AIDS, yet still being sex positive overall, made us different from the pre herpes (60s to mid 70s) sexual revolution people.
As a woman, pregnancy was a deterrent (because birth control only works so well) add death, and wellllllll, it he that worth it? I found No was more often the answer.
I remember holding a dear friend as his lover died of AIDS one year after a positive test. By some miracle, he never contracted HIV. But he was, shall we say, a loving guy, and bisexual, so a group of us trooped down to get tested, men and women, all under 26. All able to contact trace back to him, and one female partner of his.

Some went to fucking around with a vengeance upon negative tests. Some got serious and found long term. All helped condom companies do well.

I get practicing personal responsibility, in general I think men all along the sexual spectrum can do a better job at that...
But i have to be 100% honest, about 10-15yrs ago if I had a large pool of women i was attracted to having a mutual attraction to me and willing to act upon it in a moments notice, Id have been out there for as long as my bodily fluids lasted and refractory periods didn't stop me. Some people are just hornier than others and arent as hung up on the emotional or spiritual prerequisites in order to satisfy their sexual appetites, and I think we're better served in facilitating that being available in a safe, open and honest matter, after which i think you'll find a downtick in riskier behaviors in general.

I used to feel the same way, however I realized years back that me specifically feeling that way was due to yet another thing my parents brainwashed into me.
(This is just for personal context)
I respect everyone's valid opinions, and I understand how many sexual partners may seem, gross.

Feel free to think what you will about me, no matter how lesser I may seem to you, but I'm extremely easy to get in bed with. I document every sexual encounter like a trophy, and I list every unique person I have had sex with. This also, helps if something unhealthy occurred, I would know who to reach out to, to warn and seek medical attention.

Anyway, I love having an insane amount of sexual partners, it makes me happy. I sleep at night knowing I made someone happy, because I give them a little of my heart when I'm with them, I'm intimate with everyone, and learn their ticks in the short amount of time I'm with them, and comfort those who do present vulurabilities. I will even try to get to know them and help them through personal issues.
I happened to have met this one complete stranger on Grindr, and after we had sex, I got to know him a bit. At some point, I accidentally stumbled upon a question that triggered a recent traumatic memory with him, and he broke down. I immediately hugged him and pet his head, assuring him that I'm here for him, and life is going to be okay. He has since been an amazing friend, and doing great, we have stayed pretty close!

Sorry this was all over the place, but I felt I needed to play the devil's advocate, and present the opposing side. I have sex with almost everyone because it's an easy key to people's minds and more importantly, hearts. My vulnerability presents to them something they don't see often, a complete stranger, who they can vent to, and experience strong emotions with. Someone who will not judge or threaten them. I'm more myself with strangers than I am with anyone, as I do not have many friends, and my living situation is not pretty.
I also have sex with almost everyone because it makes me happy, and it makes them happy. No matter how little the other person expects the encounter to be, I'm their escape for the night. And if they want me to be around for a bit longer, I get to know a beautiful person and help them improve themselves, or just watch a movie and laugh together playing a game or discussing history!

Sex is a key to a much bigger goal, however I do enjoy sex a lot, so if the other person doesn't want more, I'm still happy. I document sex specifically, because it's fun to read and share, and remember. I'm proud of how many people I got to spend time with as well as share my body and intimacy with.

Sorry for the absolute messiness of this post's structure.

good for you, i hope you´re happy and i´m glad i don´t know you and i hope i never do
 
Right, like you did not have pages of borderline racist bs and then suddenly have a revelation about that? Of course, that was just "standards" too............

i´m very ignorant about many issues and i´m willing to change my mind at any time if i´m proved wrong. my age allows me to change. but what does what you brought up has to do with the topic we are talking about? None.

You share your opinion openly and people tolerate it even when many disagree. When someone shares an opinion you disagree with you make rude comments that show disagreement and disapproval. I'd like to remind you this is an open forum and everyone is entitled to their own opinion without being attacked.

You are young and you seem to be willing to admit you will change your mind and opinion as you age. A good piece of advice I can share with you is to try to be more tolerant. Just like someone's sexuality does not determine whether they are a good or bad person the number of people someone sleeps with does not determine whether they are a good person. There are plenty of horrible people that have never had sex just like there are plenty of amazing people that have slept with 100+ people. Neither of these is a predictor of what type of human being you are.
 
There's always one, isnt' there?

It's all about context. After 30 years in corporate America, I took a part-time job in retain just to get out of the house a little more. Almost all of the staff is younger than I am by a good 20 years. Saturday morning conversations tended to be inappropriate and most of the time I woulnd't participate. One weekend it turned to how many sexual partners we had each had. One of the young women said she had only been with 5 guys in her life. When she asked me I told her I've had sex with about 100 people, probably closer to 120. She was scandalized by it. I reminded her that due to our age difference I was sexually active before she was born, and that when you break it down by the number of years and partners it's less than 4 people a year. When she asked me if I felt ashamed because of it, I told her absolutely not. When compared to some of my friends, both male and female, I'm a prude. I get the impression she was raised to be ashamed of her body and her desires. I don't feel shame over the fact that I've had 3.6 new sex partners a year over the last 33 years.

Far be it from me to correct yr homework, but yr average number of yearly partners is more like 7.5 per year - assuming you weren't sexually active [until you were of legal age] and assuming your rate of sexual partners has stayed constant.

Even so, I would consider that respectable.

As such Apolo1998 is no longer among us.
Oh well, he couldn't even spell his own name correctly.

Apollo is a Greek god.
