Lockjaw, on the issue of infidelity I totally agree with you. Although in this situation infidelity is an assumption you are making based on a high number. I disagree that they must go hand in hand and will therefore leave that right alone. Your second point is muddled with the first and again assumes infidelity so I'm not sure how that differs from the first.
I agree in principal with the "different standard" of sex. However, you are making a rather weighty decision based on assumptions that only have the number of sexual partners as a basis. I will say again, this person that you care enough about to consider a sexual relationship is the same person before and after you became aware of the "number." What attracted you to that person in the first place has not changed. These situations are not as easy as black and white; to treat it as such would be naive.
Here's another thought for those that consider a high number of partners to equal an experienced lover. Throughout my college life I had many partners. Many of you would classify it as a "high number." However, I grew more sexually when I was in one committed relationship after school for 4+ years than I ever did jumping from dorm to dorm in school. Therefore I believe that even someone who has had only one lover can be "experienced."
