Okay, this is becoming a different topic.
It depends on the man. In my experience, the more traditional ones want to know 'their woman' will be exclusive and loyal. Number of sex partners *can be* an indication of this and also the level of self-respect a man/woman has for themselves. Note I am not being gender-specific. I am also assuming that we are talking about people who think having sex is an intimate act. Not everyone thinks this way.
Its the ones who think sex is intimate but still whore around, again men & women, who are the ones to avoid. I could explain further but its about consistency of values and action. I hope that makes sense.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
