Me and my friends at uni were talking the other day about the amount of people we have been with, and I noticed that there was a large difference between all our numbers.
I assumed the average no. of sexual partners a woman would have in her lifetime was around 7, but they felt it was much higher; 15 perhaps.
I also realised they had been with more people than me.
Do you think your number of sexual partners changes your perception of what a "normal amount" is?
(Our "numbers" were 5, 6 and 10)

so it's true about the dumbing down then!
why? and why 2? why not 1 or 3?
why?.
1 would be fine (any more than that and I'd feel all giddy).
It just wouldn't feel right.
How many have you had and how old are you?
because.....c'mon boyo, spit it out
what if that person is in there 20's or even 30's.
yea, that's probably relevant
Sir/Madam, that's private.
Thanking you.
Er... you know how it is, D.
Oh, man; that'd make it even worse
Apparently men are more likely to inflate their numbers as opposed to women who will reduce them. A rather sad proof of the existence of the stud/**** dichotomy.
1 partner. Don't give a shit if that's "normal" or not. Good enough for swans. Raised 3 beautiful children & are still very much in love & lust.
Because of their greater sexual experience?
many men are a lot more insecure about sex than many women, strange that!
Not at all.
I guess it's because, you know, others have been 'at it'..
Absolutely.
And a lifetime is a long time!
i do know how it is, i just don't know what you've settled on that particular number
I agree there is no "right or wrong" answer. I was just thinking however, that people who have had fewer sexual partners, may guess that the "average number of sexual partners" is lower than that of people who are more experienced.
That's not to say "the average" is a good/bad thing, I was just thinking about people's perceptions. However, rightly or wrongly, I am sure most women may be wary of a man like Russell Brand who has allegedly slept with hundreds of women.
It would explain what kind of psyche that person has; I mean, they've gone through about 10 different people, yet can't find the right one ?
Hmm... something not right there.
Thanks, man.
