How long do they have to be?

upsideup · 05/02/2018 19:52

Why?

Bastardingcough · 05/02/2018 19:54

One.
But lots of snogging etc beforehand.

Badweekjustgotworse · 05/02/2018 19:55

Why indeed upside.... Hmm

Queenofthedrivensnow · 05/02/2018 19:55

Tons!

Dramlass · 05/02/2018 19:59

I've had 2. I'm 35. One when I was 19 at uni then my partner at 25ish. We were together for about 5 months. We broke up and slept together on and off for another few months until it stopped. I didn't sleep with anyone else until we got back together again. That was 5 years ago and we've been together since then, I wasn't sexually attracted to anyone else in between. Not really. Fancied a couple of people but nothing serious. Nothing worth pursuing

Four proper relationships inc DH, and a sort of FWB thing that got a bit complicated. A few short flings and one-nighters as well.

Mayhemmumma · 05/02/2018 20:02

One! Sob

n0ne · 05/02/2018 20:03

Including husbands (!), 6?

debbs77 · 05/02/2018 20:07

21

BlackPeppercorn · 05/02/2018 20:08

Not counting a couple of 'just dating' fellas, two. Although I did not have full sex with No 1. He was quite odd actually. I wonder what became of him....

debbs77 · 05/02/2018 20:09

Just read that properly!

6

Blackteadrinker77 · 05/02/2018 20:10

Why do you want to know?

Do you feel virtuous or do you feel like you've had too many?

spagbol11 · 05/02/2018 20:11

6 ish I think.

ruleshelpcontrolthefun · 05/02/2018 20:12

2 proper bf including DH.

I've had sex with 15ish though. Good times.

OakIsBetterTho · 05/02/2018 20:13

23, and I would say 2 serious partners although my first boyfriend and I were together 3 years, he was never a 'partner'. Partners tho; one we got together when I was 18 and lasted 2.5 years, lived together for two years, and my current DP, 2 years, living together and talking marriage etc. And I suppose 1 casual one, we've had two spells of dating over the years, probably adds up to over a year but he was always far more into me than I him... or maybe I just never trusted him enough, we'll never know now!

Cockmagic · 05/02/2018 20:13

6 proper relationships lasting 1-4 and a half years.

About 10 stupid flings which never worked out or fizzled out after a few months

GroggyFroggy · 05/02/2018 20:14

4 boyfriends, though one was the same guy twice almost ten years apart. Sex with quite a few more than that though.

Fireandflames666 · 05/02/2018 20:14

Only one.

Rainboho · 05/02/2018 20:15

I forget.

Are we supposed to keep a tally?

dairymilkmonster · 05/02/2018 20:20

2
A boyfriend for two years age 19-21, then my now husband.
I'm 34.

CountFosco · 05/02/2018 20:20

Do you mean sexual partners or any boy/girlfriend or people you've lived with?

Only lived with DH, had 4 boyfriends (including DH) that my parents knew about, a FWB that lasted on and off almost a year and 3 ONS (all people I was friends with). All a long time ago, met DH over 20 years ago.

Thingsdogetbetter · 05/02/2018 20:20
