You can orgasm without a partner. Same goes for toys. That's not sex. It's not even unusual for asexual people do all that.

And you can orgasm safely with a partner, if you are educated about sex, understand your own body, your partner's body, follow best practices, and those involved are honest with each other.

And yes, its not even unusual for asexual people to do that.

And I would argue it is generally much, muuuuch more interesting and enjoyable to orgasm with a person, who at the very least is excited by the prospect of being part of that, than it is to jerk off or flick your bean on your own.

Hell, a lot of women don't even know what an orgasm feels like, because women have different possible modes of actually getting to a climax, many are capable of different kinds of orgasms, and many of them just can only/most reliably reach orgasm by a means that would require a partner or a toy.

As an example: 'the G Spot'. Different women have differently sized snd shaped 'spots', some just basically don't meaningfully have one, some can basically only climax when g spot stimulation is involved, for others, the g spot stimulation is basically inconsequential.

Limiting amount of partners to single digits or even just one reduces the odds of issues drastically. It's not a religious thing.

Don't think I ever said it was religious thing, so uh, sure, ok.

And ... I mean yes, less sex you have with people is strictly speaking less likely to land you with an STI STD, extremely broadly.

But safe sex is a thing, and it isn't really that hard to do between two moderately intelligent, trustworthy, consenting adults.

Its also pretty easy to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, unless you or the place you live has some sort of 'religious thing' impeding that.

Y'all look like those teens that got to live separately from their parents to start eating sweets 100% time instead of normal food cause it's tastier. Fun for a while. Bad idea in the long run.

... I'm in my 30s.

I've had boring sex and extremely interesting sex, and that's actually not been significantly linked to me and my partner's age... it has much more to do with sexual compatibility, being into the same kinds of things, communication styles.

I've also just been single, as in alone, without any sex, for spans of years between me being 16 and how old I am now.

Personally, I would not advocate just trying to max out your body count ASAP just for the sake of doing that.

I've just had a number of relationships that lasted for a while, were good for a while, didn't work out in the end, mixed with some periods of just dating around very casually for a while, mixed with some periods of just focusing on myself.

You're thinking of someone who is 18 and has already had 10 to 20 sexual partners, someone who is in their 20s and has had 50 to 80 partners or something like that.

Yeah, sure, that's maybe getting to the point where you are significantly impacting your ability to long term pair bond with a person.

But those kinds of people are actually pretty darn rare, roughly less than 5% of even the most promiscuous Western societies.

What is much, much more common is for people to greatly exagerate the number of partners they've had, because either they think it makes them sound cool, or they're in a social group which praises that, or both.

But even still: Some people just don't want a permanent partner, never did and never will, just like how some people don't ever want to have kids or start a family.
