How many people have you slept with?

I bet all these men who are not OK with a woman who says she has slept with 75 men, would cheer on any man who says he has slept with 75 women, like he's a 'hero!' 🙄

Whenever I see a man (on TV, eg Love Island) claiming to have shagged like, 300-500+ women, I have to grab a bucket as it makes me feel so sick.

It's a well documented fact that most women will play down the amount of men they've shagged, and men will do the opposite, they will exaggerate how many women they've had. Often adding dozens on, (sometimes much more!)

IMO, when someone brags about shagging a 3 figure sum of people, it's pretty grim. I would not ever be getting into a relationship with a man who had shagged 300 women. I think it's grim when ANYone brags about shagging 100s of people, men OR women.

JMO, don't come at me.

I don't know. I can't remember and don't want to force myself to think about it, but I know its less than 10. I've been married for 32 years and it just isn't something that I've kept in my memory because it doesn't matter. My husband has only ever slept with me and for both of us there won't be anyone else until one of us dies (and probably not even then).

3 were relationships, other was a one night stand.
All four were within an 8 month range , and no they didn't overlap 😅

Been with the same man since I was 21 (now 37). I don't judge anyone for how many people they've slept with. Nothing wrong with two consenting adults having sex.

One, I waited for my DH. I did get pretty close with my only other serious boyfriend though.

I have no regrets. I wouldn't want to sleep with someone I didn't love. I had a few random snogs as a teenager (four guys I think) and regret all of those, it wasn't pleasant at all. Wet and gross!

I wouldn't lie about it but no one ever asks!

@DreamingOfGeneHunt
So sorry that happened to you x

One, I used to be embarrassed and lie about it bumping it up. but older now and it’s not really a topic that comes up.

Nine. No need to lie about that. Would definitely lie if I it was more than 15 or so.

Also funnily, I only remember the 'extremes' of penises (penii?)

The very big, the tiny, the skinny, the particularly splendid...

Don't always remember to whom they were attached though... 🤣

Just the one. Been with him since I was 16 and I’m 74 now. We were both virgins together and learned about this sex thing as we went along. We’re experts now. In truth he still melts my heart (and my knees 😂).

Why would I or anyone else smirk about someone else's genitals? We are talking about grown adults?

Only three, as I met my late OH right as I turned 18 and was with him for a little over 15 years. I haven't dated since he died two years ago as I don't feel ready yet.

I definitely wouldn't date anyone who cared about what my number was, even if it was 100+ as I don't think it's relevant at all. I only know the number as it's hard to miscount at low figures.

I'm struggling to think of anything to say that doesn't sound trite. But I'm sorry 😔How terrible

Don't you remember the penises of people you have slept with? I would if I had done.

12. I'm 41. I'd probably lie and say 6 if anyone asked.

Probably about the same as you OP, but honestly I stopped counting years ago. Who cares? As long as you're safe and enjoying yourself it doesn't matter!

It's nobody else's business as far as I'm concerned. Also, I'm not sure many of them would actually know 'what my vulva looks like' it wasn't always visible whilst dtd.

Especially up against that church wall somewhere in the Surrey countryside at 3am sometime in the late 90s!

sighs at the fond memories 😁

One. My DH's is three, I think.

What a weird thing to say.
I find the whole body count thing extremely distasteful, it's nobody's business but my own.

No one is doing that about anyone. That's quite an unpleasant thing to say in general, but especially on this thread

I've never made a list, so I don't know the number, so I'm not able to lie about it. DH and I don't talk about exes (except the obvious ones as I had a dc when we met, and he was once engaged). We know very little about each other's sexual and relationship history, we've been together 19 years.

Nobody has ever asked me how many and I've never volunteered the information.

This made me laugh tooooooooo much! 😂

Well, I’ll probably get judged but it doesn’t bother me really. I have no idea but it’s in triple digits. I only know because I kept count initially after I lost my virginity aged 16 to my first serious boyfriend. We broke up and I discovered I really enjoyed the attention from men. So I went a little crazy with it.
Once it got to 100 I stopped counting. I then spent two years working as an escort (not coerced or abused but willing chose to make ends meet that way for a while as I was being paid to do something I loved) and averaged 2-3 chaps a day. I was also fairly wild in my own personal life and really enjoyed ONS and casual hookups.
No one in real life has ever asked me for my number directly 🤷🏼‍♀️ Then from my twenties I was in two long term relationships (back to back not at the same time 😂) and then married someone else in my thirties so it’s only 3 men over the last 20 years or so.
My husband is aware of my past and genuinely is unbothered by it. I have no regrets, I enjoy sex and was always practicing ‘safe’ so meh. I’m not going to be shamed or lie about a number that’s not important.

That's for me to know, and YOU to find out!

1. I'm 73, married for 53 years. So glad I don't have to bump into anyone smirking in the street remembering what my vulva looks like.

8, all in relationships, never had a one night stand. I'm in my fifties.
