Is 4 new sexual partners in 8 months too much or am I prude

Callistemon Thu 21-May-20 11:15:42

Are you all locked down together?
How exciting.
A bit tiring though.

Callistemon Thu 21-May-20 11:19:03

vampirequeen you make it sound like a prison sentence!
Is that concurrent or consecutive?

It brings a new meaning to home schooling annsixty

I was thinking about the problems of juggling 4 lovers. I was never very good at keeping lots of balls in the air at the same time.

Pardon the pun!

As it's 4new partners do you suppose there are still old ones hanging about as well?

vampirequeen Thu 21-May-20 11:57:49

Ooh now there's an image to play with. Like trophies hanging off the wall to be taken down occasionally grin

Four new partners is a lot in 8 months and hopefully you have remembered to practice "safe sex", although if you are changing partners like changing from a different pair of shoes the safe sex aspect may not have been observed.
Seriously perhaps the OP has no self respect and needs to do some work on herself to raise her self esteem.

trisher Thu 21-May-20 12:07:51

vampirequeen grin
3nanny6 I'm not sure she's into working on herself.
Mind I've just realised the OP asks "or am I a prude" so it's someone else with the lovers. The question now being how does she know about them?

vampirequeen Thu 21-May-20 12:08:56

"Seriously perhaps the OP has no self respect and needs to do some work on herself to raise her self esteem."

Why? Nothing wrong with having a healthy sex life. Maybe the OP simply likes variety or wants to enjoy sex without commitment.

I am speaking of my current girlfriend
I was number 4 been together a year and it still bothers me
I know I have no right to judge but I still can shake this feeling

Shanavine Thu 21-May-20 12:31:22

Can't

sodapop Thu 21-May-20 12:38:28

Sounds like you are the one she wants Shanavine after a year together you should be putting such jealousies aside. If you can't then maybe this relationship is not for you.

TrendyNannie6 Thu 21-May-20 12:43:40

It was in the past Shanavine, look forward and not backwards,

Lucca Thu 21-May-20 12:47:53

Well if you two met in the first week in January Then it might be questionable.......

FarNorth Thu 21-May-20 13:01:04

Get over it, or leave.
Your girlfriend doesn't deserve someone who is still obsessing about this.

Hithere Thu 21-May-20 13:04:17

If after a year together you dont trust her, break up.

3nanny6 Thu 21-May-20 13:06:40

Vampirequeen : You wrote nothing wrong in having a healthy sex life or maybe they want variety or sex without commitment.
I answered the post and gave my own opinion and some of that being from my time when working in a sexual health clinic and my reason to ask about practicing safe sex. I saw a lot of what gets passed around and caught when having multiple partners.
To original poster Shanavine just hope your girlfriend was truthful to you at start of relationship and then you could have both had a sexual health check-up to make sure you were both clear of anything. You might be number 4 but you have been together a year so your partner obviously does want commitment enjoy it you are in relationship don't look to the past.

Shanavine Thu 21-May-20 13:07:27

God no I totally trust her

MissAdventure Thu 21-May-20 13:10:18

I'm assuming you've had a less active sex life before you met your fiancée, Shanavine?

MissAdventure Thu 21-May-20 13:11:52

Oops!
Girlfriend, not fiancée.

GrauntyHelen Thu 21-May-20 13:12:37

get over it Shanavine If Iwas your girlfriend I'd regret having told you Look at it like this she tried 3others but you had something she liked and you are a year on Chances are you are a prude btw

Hithere Thu 21-May-20 13:16:07

Her past is her past.

If you are not able to get over it, you should break up with her so she can meet somebody who accepts her for who she is

Callistemon Thu 21-May-20 13:19:42

You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince

Grandad1943 Thu 21-May-20 14:28:29

I am still trying to figure out if the opening poster is male or female, or the forum member is someone who "bats for both sides." ???

annsixty Thu 21-May-20 14:38:02

I thought that too Grandad after the second post.
