I'm so intrigued to know what the average number is. I hope some of you won't mind responding.

I'll start. My number is 12

Forget to mention, a lot of them were short term FWB & a few were long term FWB.

1 in particular was nearly 7 years, I'd always go back to him after a break up etc it was easy!

Only a few were one night stands.

I think it was being lonely after wanting attention.

9

Isthisnothing · 16/08/2020 09:46

Not sure but more than 50

GinWithRosie · 16/08/2020 10:02

Over 30...maybe 40 🤷‍♀️ not really sure to be honest (my late teens to mid-20s were roaring 😂)

I'm late 50s now and haven't had sex for years..literally years! Can't even recall the last time (clearly wasn't a good one 🤦‍♀️) I'm very much hoping that wasn't my sexual swan song...how sad would that be?

@BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou

It does seem that I am pretty usual with my 1!

I’ve been with DH for nearly 34 years. I’m his one and only too. We are in our early 50s.

That should say UNUSUAL
TheoneandObi · 16/08/2020 17:10

I'm in slight awe of you liberated ladies. I had a lot of near misses and missed chances and wonder if I ought to have taken more of them so to speak.

Theredjellybean · 16/08/2020 17:16

Probably about 30...

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 16/08/2020 17:18

Mid teens somewhere.
Had a few 1 nights between my ex and dh as I wanted to enjoy myself.

Anecdotely, dh was supposed to be a ons too 😂

GrandTheftWalrus · 16/08/2020 17:31

Pass.

Next question.

frustrationcentral · 16/08/2020 17:33

6 I think?!

Kenworthington · 16/08/2020 17:36

No idea tbh. POSs around 50?? Had a high old time in my teens, to be frank. Lived in the sticks, nowt else to do Grin

gumball37 · 16/08/2020 17:39

3.i have regrets. Wish it was more. Now I'm undesirable haha. Ah well.

HotPatootiebootie · 16/08/2020 18:20

My figure is ridiculously high. Stopped counting at maybe 50? 70? Could be anywhere between 600-800. Could be more. Like another person up thread I was diagnosed bipolar , but with ptsd from child hood sexual abuse. As well as bp, i had a sex addiction that was triggered through emotional neglect as it was the only way I could feel close to anybody without risking actual feelings. I didn't need any attraction or connection to have sex, just wanted it more and more. I had a good time for most part but can now appreciate how damaging it was for my emotional growth and recovery.

Met my husband at 22 and apart from two minor blips on my part due to mania and medication issues etc , I've been faithful for 20 years. I'm very lucky to have such an amazing and understanding partner.

chargeorge · 16/08/2020 18:22

Just the 1
Met at uni, didn't have sex until married and now have 2 children ages 13 & 11

Crystal87 · 16/08/2020 19:25

Low to mid 20s. Started young and had a wild old time.

CorianderLord · 16/08/2020 20:52
  1. Have been with DP since I was 18 so I got a quick start and then stayed there 😂
Sumlove · 16/08/2020 20:56

Lots 🙈 but I've not had a long term relationship so the numbers tend to creep up!

Leigh1975 · 16/08/2020 21:03

7 ...
Need to do
More
Though 😂

WhereTheCrawdadsSing · 16/08/2020 21:07

Seven! I feel a bit tame saying that, but it wasnt tame when I met DH. At that age (21), I felt like I was quite experienced! But then I met DH and we stayed together, so I never had the crazy mid twenties and thirties. Ah well.

hopefulhalf · 16/08/2020 21:07

Silly question but what counts as sex any PIV even if very unsucessful ? oral ?

hopefulhalf · 16/08/2020 21:09

11 or 12 I think depending on how you count Confused

BikeTyson · 16/08/2020 21:10

25-30

MostlyAmbridgeandcoffee · 16/08/2020 21:12

Around 10

Still1nLove · 16/08/2020 21:15

Between 15-20, from the age of 16 to 22. Only me dh for the past 20 years
