AIBU?

To ask for your numbers...

Thread inspired by another. I was quite shocked by some of the pretty judgemental posts regarding someone's sexual partner number...

What's your number?
Would you admit it if asked?
Are you ashamed of your sexually history?

I can't say I kept a tally but I would say between 35-40 and I would admit it depending on company and alcohol consumption.

For example I wouldn't admit it to my folks but probably would during a daft game of truth or dare down the pub with mate.

100% unashamed.

Share if you dare ladies Wink

I honestly can't remember. I think more than 70 but less than 100? I used to have an awful lot of (safe) sex.

I wouldn't tell many people in RL because it's none of their beeswax - and because I know they would judge (the other thread, which I am on, has only confirmed that for me). DH has never asked. Wouldnt have told anyway - am happy to discuss my sexual health with him of course, but not my sexual activities.

Some RL friends whom I used to flat share with have a pretty good idea - they were there for most of it.

I am supremely unbothered about it, but I don't care to be judged and I do believe it's no-ones business but mine.

  1. 7 - number 2 was a virgin

- number 3 was the worst shag I've ever had
- number 7 was amazing
I ended up marrying number 3, WTF was I even thinking?

  1. I'd admit it to everyone I know who asks.


  1. No shame. Some regrets, but no shame.

Single figures. Won't get any higher either.



I'm not prudish or particularly reserved, I just rarely fancied the right people at the right time. They didn't like me when I liked them, liked me when I was with someone else etc etc.

I didn't realise there were other threads. I didn't actually look.

I don't get how confess is arsey. I appreciate confess probably wasn't the best word given the definition but I think most people on this thread realise it was just a play on words given the other thread.

Shall I revoke the word confess in favour of divulge? Is that better?

And I think all the other threads would have been triggered by the thread I read.

If you don't like it, you don't have to post y'know.

Can you be more specific here, MeepMeep?

Do you mean the number of sexual partner where the sex included penetrative sex? Or do we include those that didn't include penetrative sex? And what about the clothes on, furtive rub (I believe sometimes referred to by teenagers as 'dry humping'), do we include that?

Or would a breakdown of figures be best?

What about if you've just had a good old rummage? Like old ladies at a jumble sale.

Should my number only consist of PIV sex? Or do I count the women too?

Either way, I know I'm well into double digits. I don't particularly think there's any shame involved in that nowadays.

This raises, for me, the much bigger issue of double standards and the issue of living in a modern era where sex out of marriage happens and does not mean the female is a raging slag.

I don't care how many people someone has slept with. I think no different to them. If DP said he'd slept with 100 I'd get checked before using no protection and possibly during my insecure moments worry about performance

I was never bothered before DP but I do wish I'd only slept with him or less previously but probably if I hadn't, I'd wish I had. Grass is greener and all that.

Yes

But who gives a fuck (ha!) about someone elses sexual history? It's their behaviour towards me now that I judge, not their dalliances with a past random.

It's private, DW can know if she really wants to, although don't most of us sort of prefer not to pry if we suspect DP has lived the life of a screen door in Kansas?

5 if you include my current DP. Would admit it if asked, no shame.

About 10, not including DP.
My friends, who have met Mr Right almost a decade after me, have had a GREAT time - do I have lived vicariously through them!

People seem determined to get snippy - I think the OP is just curious, given the strong reactions the other thread generated.

I have shared this with DP (unbothered, both of us) and would share it with anyone with whom I would be discussing intimate things like this - close friends, strangers on the internet...Wink

I wouldn't tell my work colleagues, for example, as I wouldn't have conversations as intimate as this anyway!

Well, unless we were all REALLY pissed, and then we do the polite thing and pretend we don't remember.
