> I can imagine that differences in background would mean differences in the experience of transference. So maybe it's true that I'd be more likely to feel it like any other potential partner (and I've had more than average), whereas maybe people who haven't had so many partners might feel like it's more of a soul-mate kind of thing.
Yeah I think that plays a role in it. If I had slept with many men, maybe I would have just understood that it is no big deal.

(Is that a reasonable way to describe numbers of partners without making people feel uncomfortable? In terms of averages? I don't want to characterise anyone as 'madonna' or 'wh*re'...):-) That is pretty funny. :-) I really think if I were not Indian, and I had been in the US, I would have had about or above average number of partners. But maybe not, I don't know. I am really not interested in sex with many people - only a couple of guys that I have met in my life time really. I imagine though that I could have casual friendly sex, but I don't know. I don't think so. IT takes lot of emotional commitment for me.
