2, I'm 25. Been with DH for 7 1/2 years.

suwoo · 26/10/2010 21:58

Ha ha TSC, don't they call you 4x4????

PinkIceQueen · 26/10/2010 22:00

10 and I'm 41. I definately agree with the quality and not the quantity comments. I would also have loved to have met and fell in love with just 1 person and still be with them whistful sigh I wouldn't have felt I was missing out at all.

Thingumy · 26/10/2010 22:01

I've lost count,I can't remember most of their names either.

SaorAlba · 26/10/2010 22:02

More than the years old I am.

Settled down and behaving myself now though.

redflag · 26/10/2010 22:03

defineme, don't get me wrong i am happy to have only been with dh, i dated loads before we got together and didnt feel any of them deserved me.
( bit big headed i know) but when my friends say they have slept with x amount i always feel i cant comment on the conversation, although i have probably had sex more times than they have ( been with dh 9 years now)

And always make sure i get mine Wink

Serial monogamist. Could never see the allure of one night stands tbh- not from a moral pov, but I like to get to know someone a bit.

I don't think it matters, really. It's just sex, it's not a rocket science, everyone can do it.It's not a huge achievement to have had sex with lots of people.

6 between the ages of 16-19 and since then married to the love of my life.
A long time ago before AIDS. It was the late 70's early 80's. Took full responsibility for birth control regardless of what "he" said. tbh I wish I had been strictly chaperoned. As for what you would call "normal" that does not exist accross the board, in differing cultural groups for example.

Don't know!

3 and I'm 29 and been married 9 years. One was mine and his first. One was a HUGE mistake and the other is DH.

Teitetua · 26/10/2010 22:08

Anyone with more than me has been promiscuous, anyone with less than me has had no fun in life.

SolidButShamblingUndeadBrass · 26/10/2010 22:15

Oh roughly 100. Though bear in mind that I am 45 and started having sex at 18 so I average out at less than 5 a year. Not all of these encounters were wonderful but very few were actively unpleasant. I wouldn't say I regret any of them; the less good ones were never more than a bit boring, uncomfortable or clumsy.

LoopyLoupGarou · 26/10/2010 22:16

About the same as Teiteua! Grin

weegiemum · 26/10/2010 22:18

I knew my destiny was to end up on a thread like this just after SGB so I can say - 1. Dh. First and only for both of us.

sleeplessfamiliar · 26/10/2010 22:18

double the amount of my age but only one for the last 14 yrs. hes a keeper!

weegiemum · 26/10/2010 22:19

I'm 39, he's 40 btw. Been married almost 16 years.

Diziet · 26/10/2010 22:21

Three and a half.

MaimAndKilloki · 26/10/2010 22:21

5, I'm 26.

Ninks · 26/10/2010 22:21

And a half?

Grin

Tell us then.

KT1324 · 26/10/2010 22:23

19 and I am 37.. been with DH for 11 years and didn't start until I was 18 so 18 in 8 years is that a lot?

Miffster · 26/10/2010 22:23

Well, if they weren't so crap I wouldn't have had to keep cutting my losses and moving on to the next one. Anyway, I'm very happy now with my man, thanks for asking.

2boysandbean · 26/10/2010 22:24

only dh been with him since i was 16 now almost 30 i was his first as well married 10 years in december :)

witcheseve · 26/10/2010 22:24

I could use a similar guestimate to SGB, started younger am a bit older but have had long bouts of monogamy.

Had a few halfs too, but then when you up the odds Grin

redflag · 26/10/2010 22:25

I am glad to see many like me on here!

Not that there is anything wrong with being with more than one, just nice to know i am not alone.

Some of my friends think i am a bit of an oddity and ask things like "If you have never been with anyone else, how do you know its good?" Hmm
