Hi, I'm looking for personal opinions and/or experiences here, no judgements made.
How many sexual partners is too much? And would u judge someone with a high number, especially if they were a potential partner?
A recent conversation with a friend sparked this debate. As a 31 year old single mum, professional careers, bought house etc, who lost her virginity at 16, had a 10 year relationship with ex (completely faithful), however also had many one night stands during my single years. This happened mainly out of avoidance of commitment etc, therefore in total I have slept with around 45 people, including many adventurous experiences along the way. I'm not ashamed of this, as these moments good or bad, were my choice, where I learned many different things. I'm pretty open about my past etc, however I could tell my friend was shocked and although played it down was judging my character for this. I've looked online but numbers were extremely low for average amounts so was curious and wanted to ask real woman x

I've been with about 35 and I'm 36. I think between 25-50 is very average these days it's just 3 or 4 a year over 10 years.

Thats not sleeping around imo.

I don't know how many I've slept with. It's a fair amount. Over 50. I most certainly had a 'phase' in my younger days. However, I feel I am far more discerning these days as I just never come across men I want to be intimate with so I think I'm in the nun stage now 😂 But seriously it's 2022, men have enjoyed casual sex free of judgment since the dawn of time. It's high time we do the same.
