How many sexual partners have you had?

58 replies

jamesdeandaydream · 18/12/2015 21:10

And how old are you?

2 very personal questions I know so obviously only answer if you feel comfortable sharing. I'm just curious!

I'm almost 26 and have slept with 13 people. Is this considered to be a high number?

37 and have only slept with husband.

JaceLancs · 18/12/2015 22:08

Somewhere between 30 and 40
I'm 51

motherinferior · 18/12/2015 22:14

About 25. I'm 52.

Trixietwenty16 · 18/12/2015 22:15

A handful between the ages of 17-25. Around 25 from 25-28.
Just lovely DH from 28.
Aged 34 now.

Raxacoricofallapatorius · 18/12/2015 22:15

34 and only DH.

carbsfoundme · 18/12/2015 22:16

I don't actually know. I'd have to start counting from the start and then backwards from now.

Maybe 30. I'm 43. What was it Andie McDowell said in Four Weddings and a Funeral? 'Less than Madonna but more than Princess Di'.

mrsmugoo · 18/12/2015 22:17

10-
2 of them were boyfriends between the age of 16 - 19
7 of them ons/casual in my one wild single year
1 of them my husband who I've been with 15 years since I was 20

CatMilkMan · 18/12/2015 22:19

I don't know.
I won't admit it.
2 different answers to 2 different questions, figure it out.

I wouldn't consider that to be a high number op.

CatMilkMan · 18/12/2015 22:20

I was a massive slut and had fun.

Crankycunt · 18/12/2015 22:20

30 and 14 male and female partners. All but two were 1 night stands. My early 20's were fun Grin

NotAMamaYet · 18/12/2015 22:23

6 and I'm just 21

Compared to my friends that's nothing and I feel quite sheltered but my current boyfriend seemed shocked when I gave him the -a slightly lower- number .... As if it was a lot!

FunnysInLaJardin · 18/12/2015 22:25

about 8 and one was DH who I have been with since i was 17. I am 44 now, twas fun and some were meh

Monica101 · 18/12/2015 22:25

I'm 36 and I've slept with 7 men. 4 of them were one night stands.

Two of the one night stands I regret and I was drunk. The others I had nice experiences with. I am in a celibate phase now and I don't know if/when I'll find anyone I want to sleep with again.

goldiesoxx · 18/12/2015 22:25

34 and 3. I was a late starter and married and divorced my first boyfriend. Had a fling in between leaving him and meeting my DP. I always wanted to have more fun but wasn't very confident.

ProfessorPickles · 18/12/2015 22:27

6 partners and 22, can't see me adding anymore to that for a long while Grin I've become happily single a recluse

katienana · 18/12/2015 22:27
  1. I had several ONS at uni then I met dh. I had already decided that ONS were unsatisfying for me before I met him.
DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 18/12/2015 22:32

55 and about 20. One ride on the other bus, which was fun and informative. Illegal at the time too, which added to the thrill (we were both over 18).

ALaughAMinute · 18/12/2015 22:33

Somewhere between 40 or 50 but I'm in the process of getting divorced so I plan to add a few more. Grin

WeAllHaveWings · 18/12/2015 22:34

I'm 46 and I've had 6 partners. Been with dh nearly 25 years. 2 were ONS which were OK, but painfully awkward afterwards, other 4 were LTR. Not sure if I would change anything if I did it all again. Don't think ONS are/were my thing, but kinda wish they had been.

annandale · 18/12/2015 22:39

46 and 13 (choose which way round...) After a few ONS i noticed that I got absolutely nothing out of them except a good story to tell my mates, and stopped doing them. I think I need a LOT of practice to relax with a partner and tbh would probably have had a better sex life if I'd only ever had 2 or 3 partners.

PrimeDirective · 18/12/2015 22:41

Who gets to define what is high and low?
Why does anyone care?
I wonder what comparing to other people achieves.

I have no idea, I haven't counted. More than some, less than others.

Knackeredknitter67 · 18/12/2015 22:41

52, and I am 48. I discovered I am bi when I was 27, when I had my first FFM experience.

laurentperrier · 18/12/2015 22:42

I'm 26 and only been with my fiance. Feeling quite boring now compared to you lot!

RJnomore1 · 18/12/2015 22:44

Ah fuck it.

I'm 39 been with dh since 21 and I think it's 14. Male and female.

My life is so boring now!

allwineismine · 18/12/2015 22:45

I'm 32 and I slept with about 25 guys. 4 relationships (including DP), 2 were casual arrangements (fantastic sex but no intention of turning it into anything else), the rest were ONS or a men I went out with a few times and then things never worked out.
