re: What number is too many prior sex partners for you to consider dating someone?

The only valid reason is health concerns

Not necessarily. I can think of others:

1) High number = lousy lay. Counterintuitive but if she's good, her relationships will last longer and some of her hookups will come back for more, both of which tend to result in a lower number.

2) Being promiscuous could be a sign of mental issues you want to avoid.

3) The more previous partners she has, the lower the odds of making a marriage work. There are peer reviewed sociological studies confirming this. If you're looking to settle down, someone with a high number might not be a good candidate.

Health is a lesser concern as you can test for STDs.
