just being nosy , so you dont have to answer if you dont want to.
i had 1 serious reltionship before hubby.
i have had sexual relations with 10 men.
sometimes i think it is too many , but then you hear some stories of young girls and i dont think its that many.
there is only 1 i regret, so aint too bad, i think.

(god that makes me sound bad 2 years 7 ppl doesn't it - er well one was a month long relationship the other a 1 night stand - big mistake) erm... another was a casual thing - god dig a hole!

RachD · 15/08/2005 13:01

Lucy 5, was it because you were so fantastic that it was too much for him ???

If so, what a way to go...

I was only joking. I didn't mean it in bad taste.

Aniles · 15/08/2005 13:04

I'm 28 and have slept with 8 men.

NomDePlume, I've got to ask, you said you've been in a serious relationship with 3 diff men since being aged 15 til now, so Im just wondering when you managed to fit in 40 sexual partners? (did I read that right?) Not I am critisizing or judging, you understand, I'm actually jealous cos over the last 10 I've not had nearly enough sex!
Just curious - honest

lucy5 · 15/08/2005 13:07

Rachd, It has been said or he could have been a 99 year old millionaire, mmmmm

sweetmonkey · 15/08/2005 13:12

1 serious relationship

13 or 14 sexual relationships (cannot remember)

RachD · 15/08/2005 13:13

O.k Lucy, I didn't realise you were anna nicole smith , in disguise...
Does your dh look forward to you making him go down that same road.......(I repeat, what a way to go!!!)

Baker's dozen, spread over almost 20 years, most of them at uni. And I don't think I learned much about sex or got much out of it until I was up to no. 10 which is depressing. Except perhaps no. 4, now I think about it...

Makes me think of my granny who asked my mum, who asked me, if mixed accomodation at university meant we all had sex all the time. That was a really tricky one to answer.

ninah · 15/08/2005 13:23

do you really count them? I have no idea! it all seems SO long ago ....

NomDePlume · 15/08/2005 13:34

Aniles, I have been sexually active for .... 8.5 years. I don't think that 40+ sexual partners over 8 years is shockingly excessive. To answer your question.....

I lost my virginity at 15. He turned out to be a waste of space and chucked me. To get my petty and teenage revenge, I slept with around 5 of his mates over the next 5/6 weekends .

I was single for about 5/6 months after he dumped me. So left me around, hmmmm, 25ish weekend to have one-night stands. Probably one a fortnight/3 weeks.

I then got together with my first long termer (!). We lasted 18 months, until I was 17. Again there was around 3/4 months between relationships to enjoy my single freedom.

I met my next long term boyfriend when I was 17. We were together for 2 years, until I was 19. During that relationship we 'experimented' and other people were brought into the relationship, probably about 5 or 6.

I then met my DH and have been completely faithful to him for the whole of our relationship.

All in all, Aniles, I still don't think that one one night stand a fortnight whilst I was single was/is anything to be ashamed of

babycake · 15/08/2005 13:35

Not nearly enough. 1 serious relationship from 18-25 and 3 sexual relations. Never had a 1 night stand. Very single now so really should start clocking it up abit.

dillydally · 15/08/2005 13:36

Shags - I've had a few
Partners - only three

ninah · 15/08/2005 13:42

dilly sounds like a Sinatra sound
shags ... I've had a few

Aniles · 15/08/2005 13:45

Thanks for clearing that up for me NomDePlume don't think that 40+ sexual partners over 8 years is shockingly excessive either - honest! I was just curious because I thought you meant that since 15 you had always been in a relationship, with no gaps, so I wondered when you managed to fit these other men in
I'm still pretty young and I'm very single with no intention of settling down with anyone anytime soon so I have every intention of catching up with you

NomDePlume · 15/08/2005 13:46

Lol . There were periods inbetween long termers. I plan for my figure to stick at that for the forseeable, so you may even overtake me

dillydally · 15/08/2005 13:49

Ninah
But then again too few to mention...sadly this is also true

alicatsg · 15/08/2005 13:51

3 sexual partners, 5 long term relationships including 15 years with DH.

NomDePlume · 15/08/2005 13:52

So you only had sex with 3 of your 5 long termers, alicatsg ?

ninah · 15/08/2005 13:53

but dilly .... most of ALL, you did it YOUR way ...
They used to play this in my dentist's, not great choice for nervous patients with the ref's to final curtains etc!

alicatsg · 15/08/2005 13:55

yeah - 1 was first love type thing, lots of yearning glances and long letters and the other one turned out to be gay. My gaydar has improved over the years.

dillydally · 15/08/2005 13:55

I certainly regretted a few
I mainly listen to the whirring drill sounds at my dentist...

alicatsg · 15/08/2005 13:56

oh actually no, 1 first love, 1 gay, 1 religious. 1 of those 3 was a sneaky one-night stand with impressively gorgeous brother of best friend.

lucy5 · 15/08/2005 13:56

rachd, dh is looking forward to it but hes got to win the lottery to get the special treatment,

NomDePlume · 15/08/2005 13:56

lol !

dillydally · 15/08/2005 14:06

Now there is a thread
how may people have dated gay men before they came out - and were you the girl that broke the camels back so to speak - NB not referring to you Alicatsg
