I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it’s forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

    Kind of like having 30+ sexual partners. It seems to take pieces of your soul, and it takes decades of work to get those pieces back together in my opinion

    your opinion isn’t worth anything because it appeals to vague spiritual vibes instead of actual reasoning

    Most people are inherently turned off by that for a reason.

    only insecure misogynist weirdos care about that body count shit.

      This is coming off as defensive, which I expected after making a comment like that. Could it be that I said something you weren’t ready to hear?

      I have known men and women with 10-20 body count who have no issues in relationships because that’s just natural exploration. But spending more time focusing on sex than working on your self DEFINITELY has an effect on your ability to maintain a LTR. You have to feel the loneliness and embrace it, sometimes. You have to use your excess energy to workout, volunteer, make friends, go to therapy, learn a trade, and meet yourself, instead of putting it into a bunch of random (or toxic) partners you don’t really want to spend the rest of your life with.

      If you can’t focus your energy on constructive things, your soul suffers. You get weak/soft, and uninteresting as a partner. It took years for me to build up real inner strength again and women notice that shit. This is not just advice for women, it’s advice for men too. It takes months to know someone, and even longer to get over them if you’ve had sex with them. There’s a limited amount of time we have in our 20s, and if you have sex with a bunch of people too early, you’ve probably wasted that time.
