I am 35 and not interested in jumping into a serious, monogamous relationship until I feel very strong about a future with that person. I am also completely honest about this with anyone I am dating before things get close to that point. I am currently interested in four people, though not sleeping with all of them. 1-2 of them are lower on my priority list, so depending on our next couple of dates, they may not be people I want to keep around. But again, until I feel strongly about a future, I will continue to date new people as I have no interest in investing myself in something that I don't feel strongly about, not at my age. So, back to my question... In your opinion, how many people is too many to have an intimate relationship with at one time?
Oh, at one time. I thought you meant ever. And I was sad, because why is that a question still in 2017?
Anyway, I'm not a big fan of sexual intimacy with more than one person at a time. Dating? Fine. Not sex. But that's just me. There is a much higher risk of STD transmission before you can stop it. And condoms are not always good enough. To me, that's not ethical.
