[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is such a bizarre claim. I can't think of a faith-based conviction about this that I have ever heard expressed in terms that make it sound like number of partners would be material. None of the faiths with this conviction have a rider clause for "if you only did it with one person it doesn't count" or w/ev it is you are picturing.

Many Christian religions teach that sex outside of marriage is a sin. Starting there, a person who believes this tenet would care how many partners a potential mate has had since it indicates the potential mate's adherence to this tenet.

For example, Larla is dating Larry. Larry has told Larla that he believes the same principles of faith that Larla does (including the tenet that sex outside of marriage is a sin.) Larla asks Larry how many partners he has had. His reply, "I had one, my wife" (and Larry is dating because he is a widower), indicates a greater adherence to this tenet than a reply of "I had 20 before I married, and 15 more after my wife passed." Asking this question allows Larla to consider how Larry has applied this tenet to his life.

I think you are confused about who the number of partners is material to. However, your post is poorly written it is hard to tell. In a religion that believes that sex outside of marriage is a sin, each act of having sex in this way is a sin. And more sin would be worse than less sin.
