I just wanted to ask, sorry if its a bit rude, How many people you have slept with and how many you would say is normal?

Would never admit this IRL, but, 2. That is all. I have been with Dh since I was 21, though. I sometimes feel like I've missed out a bit :(

dementedma · 26/10/2010 21:45

4 for me, i'm 46

maktaitai · 26/10/2010 21:45

never never never Blush about just one sexual partner

i'll bet you that you've had about 40 x as many orgasms as me, and better sex in general

let's face it for the majority sex gets better in relationships

No idea -20ish- lost count/never started counting from 18-23, same man for last 13 years.
Don't think there is a normal-there's probably an average.
I know people who've slept with 1 person and people who've slept with 100s.

Imvho it's the quality and not the quantity of lovers. There's no moral implications, for me, in having slept with 1 or 100 people.

As long as you're having enjoyable sex with the one you're with!

Also only 1, my husband.

And I fell pregnant the first time we did it. Shock Now have DC nearly 7 and two more.

  1. I'm 26. I like serial monogamy, that's my excuse!

I've read somewhere that 9 is average, but don't know if that's true. I enjoyed it all very much though. Smile

redflag · 26/10/2010 21:49

BitOfFunderthepatio · 26/10/2010 21:49

About 842. But most of them came in their pants before they got to my inner sanctum, so I can probably whittle it down a little, if pushed.

phipps · 26/10/2010 21:50

scouserabroad - you haven't missed out.

me - a few more than I would like.

MoralDefective · 26/10/2010 21:50

Cripes....only one in the past 25 years

Thesecondcoming, i don't think there is a real answer, We are told all the time an average for everything, and i don't think that can possibly reflect any sort of reality.

7 - I'm 31

Well, if it makes you feel better Redflag, I know a very cool 39yr old who met her dh at 16, a 36yrold fashion designer who just never felt right with anyone before her dh at 24, and many serial monogamists who could count on the fingers of 1 hand.

I have had lots of crap sex in my youth and ime it only got better when I practised with the same person!
