Oh, sorry, I understand now. When you talked about the length of relationships, I thought we were talking more along the lines of two weeks and up. I usually consider one night stands to just be sexual encounters, particularly if no one involved has any intention of having an ongoing relationship, while to me, the term relationship indicates some desire for romantic connection beyond just sex. I guess that's kind of an arbitrary distinction within my own head, though. But that's why I was confused.
Since I didn't consider that you were considering one night stands to be relationships, I interpreted your next reply to be a comparison of casual sex to sexual assault in terms of not counting as sexual partners, which I found offensive, since conflating non-consensual encounters with consensual encounters is obviously problematic. I understand what you meant now, though, so we're good.
I was just surprised that you felt the need to point out the fact that women have sex outside of relationships as if that was news to me. Why think that? It was a little condescending.
How many sexual partners is normal for a woman to have in her lifetime
