No, I did not say that either.
I know man fine folks who for whatever reasons have had multiple partners throughout life, death, divorce etc.
However, sleeping around whether single or married is not a virtue to be claiming, even if it is only “two”.
The intent God has for sexual intimacy (yes, I am a Bible believing person) is for one man and one woman for the betterment of both, and the family it usually produces.
Sex in marriage, with mutual consent, is blessed and an honorable, yet a most private, relational behavior.
Outside that, it is destructive. If you don’t believe me, that’s fine.
“However, sleeping around whether single or married is not a virtue to be claiming, even if it is only “two”.”
Lets say that the young lass became “active” at 15. Sadly that would not be out of the realm of possibilities with todays youth (yes there are exceptions, so stipulated) and now 8 years later at the age of 23 she has slept with (gasp) TWO MEN!
I know of no one that would classify this as “sleeping around.” Sinful? Yes. Is it against what the Bible teaches? You bet! Until we have a Christian Dictatorship in this nation (which I am NOT accusing you of wanting) then people that do not share our beliefs can and will do things against our beliefs and there is not much that we can do about it.
Except of course look down our noses and piously scream “whore” at someone that has had TWO sex partners in her entire life.
Let’s say she did not become active until married....
I am not advocating any “forced” morality”, but I do think we have a responsibility to society to show them the ideal, live it as best we can and never compromise on the standard while loving those around us.
Best.

Completely agree.
So ... either you slept with 24 men on top of you, or you slept on top of 24 men ...
Uhhhhh ....
Don't ask, DON'T Tell!
