Do you regret (not) hooking up, being sexually free before settling down?

Ok I'm not a man or over 30 and typically I don't share this info.

I'm 27 and I've probably had close to 65-80 sexual partners. I honestly can't even keep count. There's been so many just random one night stands.

The irony is I'm totally a relationship-type person. I just haven't ever found someone to commit to. So, the past 10 years of sexual activity have been dedicated to one three year relationship, a handful of regulars, and then lots of one night stands.

I have had both STD and pregnancy scares and thankfully came out clean both times. It is 100% not worth it.

In terms of the fun, I mean... it can be. But I never really got that real connection from a stranger, enough to get me off anyway. I never really felt loved by them. I would cuddle and kiss and try to be affectionate, just to feel it for a night, and most aren't receptive to it. Because why do they care? I'm just a quick fuck.

I'm on the brink of entering what I feel like is a for real, for real relationship. One that can go the distance. And it's way more satisfying than anything else in the past.

Anyway, point is you're young. You have a lot of time to just fuck around. I think it gets easier for men when they get closer to 30 to be honest. But then one day when you meet the right women you'll be like, yeah! Psyched about it, you know? You won't really care about chasing other girls.

Do you, don't worry about it. Girls will come and go, but love lasts and is way more sexually gratifying in the long run anyway.
