				Dealbreakers
			 
 I would neither date nor have sex with any person who had banged any of the partners at any firm at which I have worked.  Call it a Lumbergh Complex.
 I could probably get over any celebrities, with the exception of obvious herpes/Hep B honeypots like Keith Richards, Steven Tyler, Jack White and They Might Be Giants.
 
 My personal suspicion is that men have a lower tolerance for skanky former partners than women do, because men have fostered a primal belief that women carry with them always the residue of sexual contact with prior partners,* and the "sleep with X and you've slept with anyone who's slept with X" thing triggers something akin to homosexual panic plus an inferiority complex.  Women who know about my skanky former partners question my judgment, not my spiritual or viral purity.
 
 *I suspect some of this is perpetuated by women prior to the sexual revolution.  (Hi, paigow!)
