Establishing a relationship does not necessarily mean having sex, and getting an answer to a question (any question) has a lot to do with how you ask it. I've never had a problem with this type of discussion and, being somewhat forthright and as a consequence finding the most happiness with others who are the same way, I've found that in my past relationships the subject has often come up of it's own accord.



This is why I stressed context. On the other hand, there are some things that I'm simply not comfortable with and I would be doing myself and the lady a disservice if I attempted to initiate and maintain a relationship in spite of that. One can't have a proper relationship with a person who they can't comfortably get involved with, after all.



Context. This is precisely what I said. I haven't ever narrowed it down to one specific number, and I doubt there is one that applies to all situations because this is precisely what occurs.

If I'm honest, I've never actually had an issue with this; but then, I've also never dated a girl (or, more accurately, slept with a girl) who had 50 or more partners. I think that would make me uncomfortable enough that it wouldn't be a viable relationship option. These are my feelings and I apologize that they're not particularly rational; feelings rarely are, after all.
