What difference should it make? If a man can have lots of partners why can't a woman? I don't know how many women I've had sex with over the years before I met my wife, she knows that there were quite a few because she met a bunch before we were a steady item. She had more partners as well, it didn't hurt her image to me. Maybe growing up in the era that we did makes a difference as to how we look at sex. We just saw sex as a way of having fun, and a lot of the time it was without a commitment to your partner for the day, evening, or night. I know on several occasions I had more than one in a day. Does it truly make a difference when we finally decide to commit, personnally I don't think so.
