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?

I lost count a while back. When I was a teenager I'd sleep with anything that had a pulse and was, of course, female (I was quite a looker when I was younger, not anymore though...).

I lost my virginity when I was 11 (yeah yeah I know) so there's a few, and I spent most of my young life in care so sex there was rampant. I remember reaching mid-50s by the time I was about 17/18 (I used to keep a tally in my room but it got removed when people realised what the tally was for), but then from 19 onwards I've only had it on with one other woman, who's now my wife.

I'm only proud of one of those times, take a guess which.

11 Wingdad?

I wish I could answer but I don't really remember most of 1989...As I don't want to give false info I'll keep quiet..

NewbeeMummy · 27/10/2010 10:07

I think 11/12 men and 1 woman, I have been with only one for the last 8 years, I had a slightly off the rails period in my mid 20's which is when the number jumped from 2.

GeorgetteHeyer · 27/10/2010 10:25

I don't shag and tell [hgrin] but quite a few!

Actually, I can't remember. And it doesn't really matter anymore - I had fun and that part of my life is over and done with. I'm now looking forward to the rest of my life with my DP.

mrsoliverramsay · 27/10/2010 10:28

I have slept with 10 people. Have no idea what is 'normal'. I am 34

My husband has only slept with 2 including me and he is 50. I would say that was well below average for a man

Oblomov · 27/10/2010 10:35

About 10. Am 36.
Am surprised how many people have only slept with their dh's.

QuinionsRainbow · 27/10/2010 11:25

Just the one. We think that's normal!

kellyegg · 27/10/2010 11:33

Nearly 1

salizchap · 27/10/2010 12:34

Erm... I lost count at twenty Blush, several years ago. I'm now 33 and the hidden counter just keeps going up. Wish I could find the one for keeps instead though. Sad

TotorosOcarina · 27/10/2010 12:36

1, my DH - am 25.

JodiesMummy · 27/10/2010 12:38

19 I think. Ony about 3 were any good though. Men are crap on the whole....excuse the pun.

JodiesMummy · 27/10/2010 12:38

Oh sorry, Im 26.

pranma · 27/10/2010 12:43

6-I am 66

gingercat12 · 27/10/2010 12:46

1, and I am 38.

So glad I am not alone. Always thought I was a bit weird.

80sMum · 27/10/2010 12:46

Just the one. Have been with him since I was still at school (I'm 52 now).

Surely, it's not 'normal' to have '100 by the age of 20'??!!Shock

JodiesMummy · 27/10/2010 12:47

I could not stay with someone if the sex was crap or they had a tiny willy Blush

Just couldnt.

JodiesMummy · 27/10/2010 12:47

100 by 20 is not normal but nearly everyone I know has slept with 10 or more people.

ray81 · 27/10/2010 12:55

4 and i am 29 met dh when i was 22. i first had sex at 16, 2 long term partners 1 one night stand Blush he was crap.

I would have to say that the best sex i have had is with DH, i never had an O until i met him. I dont feel i have missed out at all having slept with so few.

canella · 27/10/2010 12:55

In my early 20's I had a wee notebook with their names written down Blush(and it wasnt even that many but it seemed really important to write them down). it seems irrelevant to me now, how many, since i've been with dh for the last 12 years. Its somewhere between 10 and 15 and most of them i can name but think i've probably forgotten a couple and i wont be troubling to remember them!

but going to sit here for a few mins and remember my crazy early 20's (but wouldnt want to go back tho!)

Trubert · 27/10/2010 13:00
  1. I'm 33. And married, so there the number stays.

Can't say I don't wonder about the greener grass. I got together with my bloke when we were very young. But I'm grateful for what I have and won't be jeopardising it.

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 27/10/2010 13:17

About 15,

I'm 23 and been with DH 4 years.

They were all before I met him at 18 and that also includes a long term XP for a year and a half!

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 27/10/2010 13:18

Posted too soon.

I lost my virginity at 14 though Blush so it averages out I suppose.

porcamiseria · 27/10/2010 13:20

Hedgeblunder · 27/10/2010 13:26
