I feel like I've been with too many partners because I only ever wanted to be with one person forever. That didn't happen. So I was wondering whats average?
Partners- Have You Been With Too Many?
I heard on the radio once about a study done on this and they said 12 partners was ideal, where you likely find the person you're best suited with if you've tested out others. I think being with only one person will make you wake up 20 years from now and say "wow, what did I miss out on?"

I'm going to go with the average, overall, is 10 and under.
Really, it's nothing to dwell on. Who cares how many people you have been with? Have fun, be safe, and do what you want.
I also found this. Which is fun just to click on. It compares your number to the average. It told me the average for females is roughly 6.6 in the US. Mine is higher because I've had 8. I decided to check males too. It says 11 is the average for them.
If you have time play around with the above link^. It even compares your penis size to the "average" size.

I've had five sexual partners. Some were long-term monogamous relationships and others were short-lived. The person I am dating now has only had one sexual partner, me. Sometimes this makes me uncomfortable because I wonder if he is curious about other people. In addition, although I know this isn't true, I'm concerned he's be hurt by how many people I was with previous to him.

Well, don't I feel like a slut. I've had between 20 and 30 sex partners, and I'm in my early 20s. I had an oversexed phase in junior high and high school. In the past, say, 5 years, I've only had 2 partners, both of whom were/are significant others.
My significant other has had... he says, "well over a hundred" partners. He's in his early 40s.
Moral of the story: it really depends.

I kinda feel like a slut reading these 'averages'. I'm 26 and I've been with 17 people. I had a serious slut phase between partners. I've had 3 serious relationships in my sexual life. The rest of the guys were people that I was casual with until we reached my rule limit and I walked away.

I would say that I haven’t been with to many, but in-fact I have been with the perfect amount, one… the man I love.
