I am in a relationship of a little over 6 years with onodrim and I am the only person she has ever dated, yet she has no feelings of having missed out on anything. The reason for this is because we have good communication and she is quite happy with me, and I am also happy with her. It is when unhappines with the relationship rears it's head that this feeling of having "missed out" is most likely to come up.

The general point of my post SMeth was to point out that any extreme can be (but not necessarily is) destructive. I know plenty of people who have succeeded in relationships despite the fact that one or the other was inexperienced. I also have personally witnessed many examples of the “Missing Something” that I mentioned in my post. I suppose though that if you care about your SO, you will strive to keep them happy and keep your relationship (sexual or emotional) fresh and exciting, and that this applies to any couple experienced or not.
