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

AllieCat26 · 14/08/2020 23:37

1 met my boyfriend at 17 and still together at 26. It’s kind of weird I didn’t really plan on finding someone so soon! 😂

@SixesAndEights

Those of you who have slept with lots do you just do it if you like the look of them or do you need an emotional connection?

I just liked shagging.

I was wondering the same. In recent years, 'objectification' has been a big issue on here. It seems like in some threads that it's ok to have a crush on someone and have a (consenting) ONS but at other times it's classed as objectification. That's with both sexes and with straight and LGBT people and I don't get where the line is drawn. I'm not talking about porn though. I won't go near that as I think it's disgusting. I'm just on about a lady having a crush on a man (or the other way round) because they're good looking. It seems to be a minefield now but it wasn't in the 90s.

To answer the OP - 1.

2, both long term relationships, married the second one.

My husband is great in bed, but the older I get, the more I realise what a sexual person I am and wish I had been more adventurous in my youth. (My parents are v religious and raised me with a lot of guilt about it.)

I wish I had hit double figures and messed about a bit with a few random guys. I love my husband so much, but I worry about my eye starting to wonder in the next few years tbh. It’s not a nice feeling. Sad

8 - I wish I had waited for someone special and not just done it because all my friends had!

NotAQueef · 14/08/2020 23:46

8 but, 7 of those one night stands. I settled with my current partner 19 yrs ago at 19. Was a Virgin (full PIV until 18). If I wasn’t in a relationship and still looked like my 18 yr old self and lived in this tinder world it would definitely be higher. Alas ...

JustFrigginNameChange · 14/08/2020 23:46

Around 35ish and I'm 32. Only 2 were one night stands; the rest being short-lived relationships.
