21 y/o male reporting in, and I'd want someone roughly my age (let's say within 3 years of me) who lacked any experience outside of "LTR sex." Frankly, it doesn't matter to me outside the possibility of her carrying some vile diseases from some stud in a bar. I'd like to think anybody in a long term relationship would be free of the worst of what nature has to offer in that department, so that's where my figure came from.

 

I like them young, 16 to 21. They should only have had sex a couple of times, to cut down the likelihood of disease. I am a dirty old man!

 

one may suggest that that desire for a 'virgin' has nothing to do with insecurity and everything to do with youngness (think of how popular BARELY LEGAL porn is) as well as innocence (hence the HER FIRST TIME porn videos, that try and emphasize how much of an angel she is).

18 y/o man, and my range stems from 16-21, with a bit of hesitation towards those that sleep around a lot, since that suggests "loose moral fibre" as a victorian might put it

 

I think your definition of partner for the question is a little too vague. Since I am married, I immediately assume that the question is along the lines of "If you were going to go bang someone behind your wife's back..." and that being the case, I would be looking for a woman with a lot of experience and few inhibitions -being purely hypothetical, since IRL I would fear disease from such a woman. The reasoning here is that if I am going outside my marriage, I am going to be looking for a woman that will do things that my wife won't do, or that I wouldn't even ask her to.

If the question is what kind of experience am I looking for in a LTR if I wasn't married, that gets a much different answer. While sex is great and I do enjoy it, a woman's ability in the sack is going to be way, way down the list of attributes I am looking for in a LTR. In fact I don't think experience would even be on the list. As long as she has the correct parts and at least a passing knowledge of how to use them, I could live with it. This is a woman who is going to essentially be your business partner for the duration of a LTR and her intelligence and moral fiber are far more important than the ability to tie knots with her tongue.

To get to the spirit of the question. If two women were absolutely identical in every other way, I would probably prefer a woman who had had fewer partners. I'm not really sure why. Maybe just because I hate the thought of other men touching the woman I am with. And the more men she has been with, the more I will think about it, or something.
