# of People At Once You've Had Sex With?

Hi Sandy,
I think you're being too hard on yourself. If folks don't want to answer the question, they don't have to! I didn't answer your poll, but I've read all the posts! Perhaps I'm a bit of a voyeur!!
Take care,
Okie

Thanks everyone,

I got up this morning and wondered what kind of reception I was going to receive from this forum, let alone the site. I'm sooo glad that you saw it was all meant in good fun, not asking what your current lifestyle is like.

And I'm so sorry, Joe, about the sheep. You must be a true animal lover.

Thanks for being so supportive. I thought I had made one of the bigger "Duh" moments of my life. You guys are great. Thanks for taking it the way I meant.

And I didn't even think about the younger people on this site. I'll be more aware of that in the future.

Enjoy your day!

God bless,
Sandy

with respect to the consentual aspect i don't see how this question differs from the 'how many people in your lifetime' question...

with respect to the question while it might be against some peoples values it isn't against other peoples values. one doesn't have to answer if one doesn't want to.

urm...

was this thread really a joke, or were you really genuinely curious?

i don't see any harm in asking...

er.. how do you define 'sex'?

er... thinking in particular of 'circle of love' ecstasy type experiences which are erotic but perhaps borderline sexual or not really sexual... or sexual... perhaps...

ho well....i think it`s great! really funny!

i wonder if somewone had the MORE shockening idea to ask what it feels like. hahahahahaha.
but i guess this is too personal a question.

i never had more than 1 at once. and i don`t think i want to,
seems very embarassing to me...and maybe dangerous.
that`s my oppinion.

hmm.

well... i guess exposing your ankles was shocking at some point...

Hi Alexandra K,

I apologize if I upset you with this poll. Believe me, I've been kicking myself a lot for posting it....but people seem to be having fun with it, so I really don't know if I let it run its course or delete it. I had such a fun time learning about cyber-sex (for my sweetie and me), and found all the people on this forum to be so entertaining, that I thought it would be fun to make up a poll as to how many people, in the course of our lifetime, that we've had sex with at one time. Granted, most of these experiences were when we were young. Like I said before, I would do things at 17 that I would never do now at 42! One steady partner only now, please.

So, it was meant for fun AND I was curious as to how we compared with others on this forum. It's interesting to see the highest percentage is for a one-on-one type relationship. I love that! If it makes any difference to you or not, I believe in having only one partner....and sticking by them through thick and thin. You know, to grow old together. I think that's romantic.

Consentual aspect: Well, obviously I wasn't counting abuse/rape/taken advantage of on drugs. I just meant a regular union between people who agreed to it. There was no hidden meaning in my question.

Absolutely, I stated that you didn't have to answer this poll if you didn't want to. Gosh, I was just trying to make people smile....thinking back to the stupid kids and young adults that we used to be. Of course, some are still playing and that's FINE...but I just think that as we get older, we settle down more to wanting just that one sweetheart. But you know how the hormones are flying off the chart when you're younger. Lol.

Yes, the poll was both for entertainment and also I was just curious as to how we all compared with each other. Like, was I the only one to do it with my best friend and her boyfriend (17 years old, okay?? Not my lifestyle now). Again, no hidden meanings in the poll.

How do I define sex? Intercourse.....human to human!!!!!! Now, of course, there is a dog with a dog/ a cat with a cat....but I wasn't talking about critters. I was talking consentual intercourse between 2 or more people. And, I also consider masturbation to be sexual as well....that's why I had "none" as one of the options....which I even checked off for myself, if you must know.

I don't know if you thought I was trying to turn this poll into some sort of perverted thread where people would start talking about all their adventures. In fact, to tell the truth, I didn't expect anything more than just the poll. I didn't realize that there was also the option to respond in writing. It's the first poll I've ever done, and I can't recall ever seeing one before. I've been away from PsychCentral for about a year, and just came back a few months ago. I was just trying to interact in an entertaining manner with the people in this forum because they had all been great about my cyber-sex question.

Alexandra K,

I don't even KNOW what "circle of love" is. That sounds like it belongs in the category that Joe wanted in regards to sheep. LOL!!!!!!! No, I'm not bashing Joe! I thought his answer was too funny.

Sandy

Please Alexandra K,

This truly was meant all in fun. Please don't get defensive or suspicious. There was no hidden agenda. I am quite sorry that I upset you. I had no idea that would happen. Believe me, it's going to be a LONG time until I make another poll because I obviously don't know how to throw a party!! LOL.

Sandy

Damn. this is VERY SIMPLE:

if you like a poll: post in it.
if you DON`T-just DON`T POST.
that`s it!

it is just internet. we shouldn`t be taking it so seriously. i know from my own experiance. there is no reason for being upset because of a topic.

Thanks ladymacabethadmunsen,

Wow, that's a LONG name to type out! LOL.

Thanks for telling it just the way it is. Post or don't post. It's just a little speck in the big World Wide Web.

I *am* sorry for anyone who was offended, but please....let's just try to accept it in the manner that I meant it. It'll disappear soon enough, anyways, when people stop voting.

Thank you again, ladymacabethadmunsen. Woo Hoo. I just had to type that name out again without looking to see if I'd get it right. I DID, I DID. Lol.

God bless,
Sandy

my fear would be a STD, a gal can't be too careful ya know

Sandy you dont have to defend yourself. You explained what you were doing and personally i thought it was fun. Some people will have a problem with certain things, but most wont. Dont let perceived criticism lead you to inaction. No matter what you do someone isnt going to be happy. Actually i think the reaction has been pretty good . Now about that sheep...............

Joe,

I know how much your sheep mean to you, and for being such a lovely person, I would ship one off to you right away (I'm sure you have a whole pasture to frolic around in with them, don't you?). Lol. But we seem to have a problem with the Canada/US Border Patrol. Apparently, there have been quite a number of sheep being bought all over Canada lately and headed down to New York. My country is slowly coming into a lamb chop crisis, so I don't think I could get the little guy to you. I know you would have loved him, though. Awwwwww. Such sweet critters.

And thanks for the support, Joe. I appreciate it!

God bless,
Sandy

(((((( Sandy ))))))))

Just wanted to pop in and say your thread is fine. There's no breaking of guidelines or anything, so unless you want me to remove it, I don't see an issue at all!

It seemed to me that there was just some clarification and questions being asked. I'm not seeing anyone getting defensive or anything.

If there are bad feelings around this thread, (anyone) just shoot me a PM k?

~Rayna

Lol; interesting thread (& responses!), Sandy.

Des

Now the poll asks how many PEOPLE you've sleep with... (though the subject and paragraph says SEX) but the poll alone... wow now I come from a big family and during hurricanes we all slept together in the livingroom and there were many times that, on a camping trip, the entire group of dozens dispense with the tents and we all put our sleeping bags next to each other out under the stars... Whew, sure am glad I didn't answer the poll!

Believe in Him or not --- GOD LOVES YOU!
