Spin-off: what is your number?

Contributor: bayosgirl bayosgirl
I'm curious as to the average number of sexual partners people here have had (for the purposes of this forum, let's say male partners that you've had intercourse with.) I was sort of shocked when my friend revealed she's slept with 13 guys (she's a little younger than me, 21.) Is that uncommon or do I just need to get with the times?

Well, okay, here's the thing...

If we figure the median number for people is two a year (which I don't find to be an unreasonable number, if we average out for all those one-night stands, and the long term relationships that make us monogamous.) and figure that people start having sex at 18, by 30 you've fucked 24 people. By your fortieth birthday, you're working on number 44.


Using my algorithm, if she started having sex at 15, she's right on target with that 13. And, to be honest, I started having sex at fourteen, so she's behind my bell curve...


And, on the topic of your poll; I've never had sex (with a man).

When I saw the "I'm a virgin" with your name behind it, I giggled. Well, actually, I snorted. But then I read your post and it makes sense and I can no longer giggle or snort.

I don't know how many men I've had sex with. I went through a time when I was about 19/20 where I was intoxicated and very promiscuous. But it's definitely more than 5. But I would say that according to the formula given by Delicious Surprise, it's fairly accurate for my number. Of course, for the past 10 years I have only had sex with one person.

My number stands at less than ten, which I think is reasonable given that the number of people with whom I have been sexually intimate is, in general, in line with the actual relationships in which I have been involved. However, being BDSM/Kink-inclined, I have had several non-sexual play partners (whom I do not count) and a couple of "friends with benefits" whom I do.

Honestly, though, I don't know if there's a "normal" number — everybody's different!

I started fooling around at 17 and now I'm 38 I've been with to many to count over the yesra (thank God I'm still 100% clean and never caught anything) but now I only have 2 that I play with.

Not as many as quite a fwe of my friends, but I never took sex casually. I still don't. But I sure like exploring the options within a relationship[!!!

I think that "five or more" category is going to turn into a huge pile-up of names. I was reading some magazine the other day and it was talking about the average number of partners an adult will have and it was anywhere between 10-20, depending on the gender and what country you were looking at.

Argh, I wish I could edit my post to make voting private and make more options instead of just 5 and over.

im 25 years old and i passed double digits at age 19, after starting having sex at age almost 18 yrs old.
that freshman year in college was a drunken doozy.

delish surprise's algorithm is quite accurate for me. i'm pushing 30 partners. i dont consider myself sexually promiscuous but i happen to end up in situations where the vibes are flowing and i feel a genuine connection with a person, and it has happened alot.

passionate beautiful sex has been the result. with alot of folks. lucky for me, still clean, and not too many regrets.

I love Delicious Surprises formula. I breathed a sigh of relief. I am 41 and got married to my first husband at 16, he was my first. By her formula that is 25 years. I have had between 25-30 partners. 5 of them women and the rest guys, most were in my late teens and early 20's. I got divorced at 18. Now it's just me and the mister and an occasional lady for fun

Probably should have been a poll without people's names showing.

You were "shocked" that someone had 13 partners? Really? Then you ask.... us?

As it is, I'm not answering.

Why only male partners? That would work for the straight women and the gay men. But, what about the hetero men and the lesbian women? Don't they count? (If they choose to participate.)

Well, I had to answer that I'm a virgin. Though, I don't consider myself as such. I've had sex with only one person-- my current partner, a woman.

I was curious about the fact the names were shown, too. Hah. And yes, us poor lesbians! I felt strange saying I was a virgin. I sort of wish I hadn't done the poll at all!

Yes, was shocked...and am shocked.

There are plenty of other polls on this topic or I'd start another, anonymous one.

"Male partners" because this is a thread in the women's health section, and I consider "intercourse" to be penetrative sex between a man and a woman. No offense intended at all towards lesbians.

Yep. There's a lot of ways to have sex, and some of them don't include "intercourse with a man." Yet, IMO, they certainly count as "sex" as well as anything else.
