To ask how many people you've slept with?

I had DS young and have only slept with 1 other person other than DP.
A friend made a light hearted comment about do I not feel like I've missed out, and I feel bad to say it resonated with me.

AIBU to feel sad that 2 might be my lifetime number??

More than the Queen and less than Hugh Hefner

GunpowderGelatine · 03/02/2019 21:13

Lots. Over 30, possibly as many as 40. I really regret about 90% of them. I have ishooos relating to sexual relationships and in my youth thought it was the best way to feel good and get a mans attention. It wasn't. I wish I'd taken things slower and had less ONS (which were unanimously shit) and formed more meaningful sexual relationships with people I at least knew and cared for

Designerenvy · 03/02/2019 21:13

Only 1 and no regrets

PinkGin24 · 03/02/2019 21:13

7, don't regret any. 3 were longish term boyfriends. 2 were medium term flings. 2 were short term flings.

SallyWD · 03/02/2019 21:13

Only 2 and I don't feel bad about it.

ghostyslovesheets · 03/02/2019 21:15

over 100 - ah the 90's where great!

no regrets at all

making up with it now - 10 year celibate

whatsthepointthen · 03/02/2019 21:15

Im not sure why you want to know either? ive slept with a few and regret 99% of them. im actually envious of people who've quickly met the one for them without having to kiss (sleep with) lots of frogs before hand.!

CookPassBabtridge · 03/02/2019 21:15
  1. I was a late starter (23) and still with DP 11 years on.
CookieSwirlC · 03/02/2019 21:16

One, just dh. Met him when I was 18.

whatamidoingwithmylife · 03/02/2019 21:17

About 10 but at lot were disappointing. After my marriage I was excited to meet new people - then once it happened I missed what I'd had in the past.

If you're happy with your sex life then you don't need to be sad you may have missed out - you may just have missed out on a lot of crap sex and being messed around by lying shits Confused.

I always find it bizarre how many people are into double figures. I can't imagine finding that many people I can stand talking to let alone having sex with.

multivac · 03/02/2019 21:20

Two. The second and I are in our 29th year; and both of us are still friends with number one. Not bored with sex yet...

Smirnie · 03/02/2019 21:20

Exactly the same as you op, 46 now and no regrets so far!

Gillian1980 · 03/02/2019 21:20

12 I think.
I’m 39, became sexually active at 1£ and been with DH for 8 years.

Lyricallie · 03/02/2019 21:21

1, with my fiance of 7 years. Started going out at 19/21. He's the same. I had done other stuff with guys but not "the whole deed" so to speak :p

tor8181 · 03/02/2019 21:22

1

im 38(and 3 weeks),hes nearly 37

we have been together(not married as i dont want to)for 19 and half years,he was 17 i was 18

we have been each others only sexual partner or anything sexual apart from kissing

before me my partner have only ever kissed 1 girl and i was/still is his only girlfriend

i kissed many(nightclubbing since i was 12)before him but that was all

he was technically my second boyfriend but the first was silly teenage stuff at 16 so my only boyfriend really

we are very happy and never row or had any problems in the whole time we have been together,we were together 6 years and living together 3 and half years before we had a baby

so i felt we build a relationship together before any pregnancy which tbh is uncommon as a lot get pregnant early in a relationship

Arnoldillo · 03/02/2019 21:22

Around 50 or so. I honestly don't know the exact number.

Loved it all, learnt from it all, little slices of intimacy, little connections with people as we passed on our way through life.

I used to think of it as a kind of enhanced way of meeting people. I still don't think that I was entirely wrong.

Spotsandstars · 03/02/2019 21:22

Only 1 my dh and no regrets.

meow1989 · 03/02/2019 21:22

Only my husband, we met when I was 16, don't regret at all.

Bloo22 · 03/02/2019 21:23
  1. Just DH, he’s the same. I don’t feel like I’ve missed out at all
LilQuim · 03/02/2019 21:23

30-40 I think. I might try to remember them & revise that if I have to! I'm pretty sure closer to 30.

I'm almost 51 & sexually active since 16. Never married.

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 03/02/2019 21:23

  1. DH and I are childhood sweethearts and have only both ever had each other Smile

I wouldn’t have it any other way and neither of us has missed out.
