Is 20 reagrded as such a high number?!


I found this movie more amusing, then I thought it would be, but had one problem with the plot. During the whole movie the main character see herself and is seen by others as being very "cheap",, because she has slept with 20 guys.

I know that this would be seen as being very cheap 50 years ago, but now? 20 doesn't seem to be a high number for a person in their late 20's?

If that's high, I'd hate to know what they think of me LOL.

"VERY cheap"?

Well, you ASKED....

20 is pretty high, whether you're male or female.

If you have to take off clothing to count the number via the digits, it's generally cheap. Yes, sex is often cheap in this day and age. It's too often thought of as a path to love, which it usually is not.

I would suggest people should feel love, THEN sex. Not saying "one true love, for ever and ever and ever"... but you certainly should care about them a good bit before sex.

Don't get me wrong, it's always your choice. But I would suggest that very few people find long-term love -- or even middle-term love -- through lots of sexual partners. Sex just muddles things up and confuses the feelings on both sides.

Yeah, 20 is pretty high. Ppl should slow things down & get to know someone before just jumping into bed. The better you know someone & the more you like (or even love) that person, the better - and more meaningful - the sex will be. Sex is so much better when it's more than just a physical act.

20 really isn't that high. If someones 26/27/28 and they lost their virginity at 16/17 that's about 2 people a year. People aren't getting married as young as they used to so of course over the years your partners are going to add up and the number will eventually sound high, but when you break it down it's a pretty respectable, if not conservative amount.

"Ich lüge" is German for "I'm lying".

I'm really fond of the black women. They used to call me Jizzy Gillespie.

20 isn't really a high number, it's the 21st century

The point is to the people she was around, it was.

Now ask me how I really feel, I'm just here for the comments.

I think many people will but it's subjective, especially given that sexual experiences will change over time. If I was younger, I'd be horrified if I thought I'd be marrying a guy who has slept with so many people! Man has that changed though. Numbers are arbitrary.

What I've learned? Sex is and feels better with somebody you are comfortable with, period. From a lady's perspective, you're lucky if the sex is decent on a one-night stand. I've had sex with guys with "lots of experience"/man whores and holy *beep* it's pretty bad. The best sex I've ever had is in relationships, whether casual or serious. The best sex is a result of being comfortable with each other and being dedicated to ensuring your partner's pleasure. Sex can be meaningful, but it should be first and foremost, fun.
