What is the average number of sexual partners that a person can expect to have in their life??
i'm 19 and male. i have had only 3 partners, all in the last 8 months, only 1 of which was in a relationship, 1 was a 3 night stand, 1 was what i thought was a relationship (2 monthsish) until she told me it wasnt. she also may have given me genital warts and my life is ruined.”
I'm 33 and had 13 sexual partners (including foreplay only). It's remarkably tame by today's standards, and I want the 14th to be my wife (whom I'm yet to meet)!”
I'm 23 and have slept with 23 girls. I lost my virginity when I was 16 to my first girlfriend who I was falling for at the time. When I turned 19 I had still only slept with one girl. I moved away for uni and I have had a mixture of serious girlfriends and sex buddies but never a one night stand. I've never wanted one because people say they leave you feeling really empty and used.
My number is probably a little on the high side to some people but a lot of my friends who are younger than me have slept with more.
I'm always safe but sometimes things go wrong and when they do I always get tested. You can't be too careful.
”
i'm 20, f, and slept with 52 men, i hate this fact when it's stated like that and people often see me as easy, yet i feel i've had important enough relationships with these people to have allowed it to happen, many being just friends.”
I'm 17 and have been with 12 men. I'm not at all proud of it but the majority of them were when I went through a bad patch when I found out my mum had cancer. I'm now with a long-term relationship and couldn't be happier, although I was reluctant to tell him of my experience when we first started seeing each other, I eventually told him when it came up in conversation and although at first it was a shock he thought I was silly for not saying anything.”
Sex is for those you feel comfortable with and love! It shouldn't be a drunken act! I have only hade 1 and i am 20 and we have been together almost three yrs”
I'm 42/M and I've been with 32 women. That may sound on the high side, but take into account that I didn't marry until I was 41. I presume that this skews the result somewhat, as most my age would've married sooner and taken themselves off the market (reducing the total they might've been with if they had remained single). All things considered, this averages out at just over one per year since I became sexually active, so it's not outrageous...
What MAY be outrageous is that I slept with 10 of them in a single year, after a failed relationship. I was feeling bad for myself and just went a little crazy for a while, and while fun it didn't make me feel a whole lot better.
As for STD's I wasn't always careful but managed to stay clean right up until the last woman I was with before I met my wife. Now the HPV has latched onto us both and I definitely regret THAT... At least it's something relatively benign and not one of the biggies like gonorrhea, syphilis or worse.”
I'm sorry to be rude to neone I'm 18 nd have slept with 3 guys, lost my virginity when I was 15. I'm seriously in shock from reading 16 year old girls having sex with over 30 people. Sex isn't ment for just fun. That's how people get diseas and pass it on. its bad to have so many sexual partners, when yur older sex is gonna be just another thing its not gonna be special if yu keep having sex just for the fun of it. I don't know I was just in shock nd kinda digusted.”
I was with my first boyfriend for 15 months, I left him for the boy I'm with now.
I've loved both the people I've slept with, and it's completely unrealistic these days to expect to be with your first forever. I learnt things from my last relationship.
Ju st some people are very surprised when they find out my boyfriend wasn't my first, and those still in their first sexual relationship like to trumpet about it.
”
Im 18 and have slept with 6 people, one of whom I was in a relationship with. I don't think that you can judge people or say that there is an 'average number', as some people will only ever sleep with one person, whereas you could sleep with a different person every week..
It depends on who you are, your background etc and what is right for you. As long as your safe and sensible and having fun nothing else matters.”
I am 17 years old. I have had one sexual partner and we've been together for 16 months. I hope that he will be the only one I'm with sexually, because you cannot beat the feeling you get when you make love with someone you deeply care about and that's what I get with him.”
I am 37 and I've slept with around 75 people. I'm not trying to boast. I'm really not. I really wish sometimes that the number was a lot lower, That I had had a much less interesting sex life up until now. I have HSV1 and I have no idea where or when I got it. I've had chlamydia and gonorrhea. Despite my STI history it's that fact that I no longer have any fantasies anymore that is the saddest thing for me. Sex has become for want of a better word 'boring'. Really everyone, slow down! Please. Boring sex is well, boring! Oh, and trust me, there is nothing quite so horrible as being intimate with someone and having to say to them "There is some thing you should know. I have herpes!"”
I am a 26 year old female and I have had 4 sexual partners in my life, all in long term relationships. I lost my virginity at 19 (although many of my friends lost theirs at around 14 - I decided at a young age to hold out for someone I truly cared about and didn't feel the peer pressure or need to "just get it over and done with asap" despite plenty of opportunity, I would strongly advise this approach). I am surprised at the varying amounts of sexual partners young people have had and would urge you all that there is no rush to have sex and from my experience, sex is more fulfilling and enjoyable with a person whom you are in a loving and caring relationship. Also, please do practice safe sex!”
I am male 63 years old. I have had 6 sexual partners in my life. If my wife and I had not have been divorced 20 years ago, she would have been the only one. There is nothing in this world like making love to someone you love with all your heart. I feel desperately sorry for these very sad young people on here, who have posted some extraordinary claims. i.e. 16 years and 10 sexual partners etc. They will never experience the joy that sex can bring and they will regret their mindless behaviour for the rest of their lives. Or perhaps they won't, because they don't know any better.”
I'm 18 and have never been in a relationship. I have had sex with 4 guys. The guy I lost my virginity to was a friend and we became friends with benefits... Sex was good but... The best sex I had was with a guy I really liked and he liked me... it was just lovely!”
I met my boyfriend the day after my 18th birthday and we instantly clicked. We were both attracted to each other but were shy as we'd never had a boyfriend or girlfriend before. We don't know when we officully started 'going out' but we'd knew we wanted to from the beginning. We were together for 8 months before we had sex for the first time, although we'd been doing other stuff a few months before then. We're both glad we were both virgins when we met adn we know that we've never slept with any one else. we really love each other and really want it to last forever, therefore hopefully we'll each only ever have slept with one person :)”
i was 15 when i lost my virginity, i am now 16 an have slept with 21 guys. i wish i had waited until i found the right guy. im often called a slut but i just ignore it. im trying to change my ways now that i have realised how bad it has got.”
im 15 and have slept with 6 boys, i do feel like a slut, and i dont do it by choice, i get in situations that i cant get myself out of.one of the lads i was in a relationship with for a month, and were back together three months later, lets see how it lasts”
i am 15 nearly 16 had sex with 12 lads all of them are older than me, majority of the times are when im drunk, or just random one night stands, ive had a threesome. i get called a slut by friends of mine, but to be honest, i dont find myself to be a slut, i just dont mean to have sex sometimes. when i go out im always with my bestfriend and recently she's been with me when i hve had sex and this has encourage her to have sex to and which she has had sex with 3 lads, and had sex 10 all together, and i feel responsible for the fact she lost her virginity at the wrong time, and she is also being called a slut. if you knew both of us we are not sluts we just enjoy going out at night, but end up in situations that not many people come acrrosss.”
I am 18f who has had 8 parteners. Most of whom I was seriously dating. However, in some cases things just went too far when i was feeling groovy. Things happen, and as long as your safe and responsible theres no reason to worry !”
I'm 17 and slept with 9 guys, all older than me. These things are different for everyone. I'd like to change a lot of the things I've done in the past though.”
I'm 16 nearly 17, and have slept with 42 men and 3 women, the youngest I have slept with is 25. Although many of my friends think its wrong to act like this I think that it doesn't matter what you do as long as people don't get hurt and you are safe while doing it!”
I am 19 and haven't slept with anyone yet. Partially because I am terrified of girls and haven't even ever been in a relationship. But also because I would rather just wait for the right one. It's not about "notches on the bedpost" for me.
I am honestly horrified at what some of you kids have been claiming on here.”
Johnny: You have listed some of the dangers that you have experienced personally, but what about the dangers you have put the way of others? Your story is one of total irresponsibility. A mental block about using condoms? What on earth does that mean? All you have to do is tear the packet and slide it on. A condom is for the protection of others not just yourself. I urge you to be more responsible in future.”
I'm an 18 year old male. I've had about 9 sex buddies, though I've never used protection which is never wise. I've had chlamydia twice, a pregnancy scare and I get thrush occasionally which at first I thought was herpes. I can't use a condom because of a mental block.”
I'm 16 years old at the moment and i've had sex with 12 boys. Most of them were 17 or 18. All of them were older. I lost my virginaty only 2 months after turning 15. I feel gross at times because the number is so high. But I like and enjoy sex and I am always safe about it. One time I had sex with 4 people in one month. 2 of the 12 boys was a one night stand at a party and just in his car. 2 were long term and I believe I loved both. Most were friends and didn't mean more then what was done. I still talk to all of them, and I am very close friends with most. I find sex either brings 2 people close or pushes them apart. I've expierced both ways in my long life.”
I am now 16, but from the age off 10 i've had an obsession with pornography, due to my sexual frustrastion i felt the need to watch it for hours every day. Eventually i lost my virginaty earlier this year, to a girl 2 years younger than me, eventually i got fed up off her and found 5 new sexual partners since the.”
i am 14 turning 15 soon and i lost my v when i was 13 i have slept with 8 people since then ,im not proud of what i have done and wish i would ov waited untill i was older but most off them have been drunken mestakes and i think if i wernt drunk then i maby wouldent off done the stff i have .i have been called names even by my friends in the past but i have just ignored them maby if i didnt lose my v so young non of thes regrets or name calling would of happend .”
I've slept with around 60 men. I'm honestly not sure of the exact number anymore. I'm only 20. I've been having fun. I've never had a boyfriend and don't see why I shouldn't be able to enjoy myself until I find the right guy.”
I'm a 32 year old woman & have had sex with three partners, but did 'other things' with a few more. I was a virgin when I met my husband & after 14 years, when we separated, had a one month fling & felt horrible having sex without emotion, even though the sex was fairly good. I'm now in a committed relationship & love that the sex is 'making love', as it was with my husband. Despite a relatively low number of sexual partners, I have a very high sex drive & am very experimental, but without love, it means little to me.”
I'm a virgin and in a relationship which is serious and it makes me feel so amazing to know that i can give him my virginity and its pulled us so much closer and im so happy ive waited”
i think it depends on the person. Sometimes it takes a few mistakes or bad relationships to realise what is good. I have personally had that experience, where I thought that what I had was great until things didnt go right and i realised it wasn't all that good. I think if you are in a relationship with someone and you have intercourse and things dont work out, then it should not matter how many people you are sexually active with. People have to mistakes to learn from and appreciate better things. As long as you are safe, ie... no one night stands (as you dont know them) use protection and you are agreeing to do it then go ahead, but trust me sex with someone you love and who loves you back is so much better than the thing that you will probably regret in the morning.”
At 16 or 17 I never thought I'd be saying this but I met the right guy and he's the only sexual partner I've ever had or ever want to have... I love that he's been my only partner. And the sex is not boring! To be honest its being together for a long time that makes it so good.
I'm 20 and I've slept with 4 people, 3 boyfriends and guy who I barely knew through a friend. Part of me regrets not waiting with him, part of me thinks its all part of learning about yourself.
I'm shocked at how many people some young people have had sex with on here!
I'm not anti one-night stands/flings but I say that within reason... I'm not gonna say I'll never have a one-night stand but I'm v happy atm with my boyfriend of 18 months.
26 year old male. Zero partners. It doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon. I'm good looking, confident, mature, wealthy, respectful. But I'm cursed, so life sucks.”
im 31 and have had around 50 partners, ranging from one night stands to my husband. he is 42 and has had many more than me. i see no problem with us both being more experienced. it means we know what we are doing!!!”
Im 21 and have only slept with one boy.
My current boyfriend, i was 17 when i started going out with him and slept with him.
He was also 17 and a virgin when we started going out, so he has only ever slept with one girl.
I can see us been together forever and it dosnt bother me at all that hes the only person iv slept with.
Id had experience with other boys, just not gone all the way. I didnt wait to have sex with 'someone special' as such, its just the way it turned out.
Im glad though.”
I had about 6, which is a lot considering im only 18, but i always knew the person well and i have never had to deal with one night stands, it was always something more, but now im settled with my fiance and couldn't be happier to be just with him”
this is disgusting, sex is a gift from God for man and wife,thats not old fashoned, thats the way it still should be, not for 14,15,16 year olds at partys britan has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in europe and to be honest it makes me feel sick, Im an 18 year old lad and looking at some of these comments its no wonder we are the teenage pregnancy capital of europe, its talked about so cazually, and cheeply if sex was kept inside of marrage there would be no h.i.v or very very little of it. for me sex is something very intimate to be shared between the man an woman, its not sheerly a physical pleasure but a lot more, its emotional, its where no one else gets to see you but the person you should love the most. it hurts me reading these comments because its no longer about self respect and loyalty and intimicy, thats all lost, an trying to find an 17/18 year old virgin girlfriend is genuinly impossible between, can't help but feel dissapointed, it should be 1 sexual partner your husband or your wife, and at the alter its ment to mean forever, not for a couple of years untill im bored. its such a shame no one else see's it this way”
I feel pretty low about my magic number. After almost a decade together my partner told me that she had far more sexual partners than I ever imagined. This really upset me and I couldnt accept it. I wasnt into one night stands and felt sickened that my partner would go with men who clearly didnt respect her. I reacted by having 5 one night stands. I thought this would create a sense of guilt that would allow me to accept her past more. Previously I had never cheated even when presented with obvious opportunities. Regrettably I think Ive now trapped myself in a cycle of seeking meaningless sexual encounters driven by jealousy. I used to pride myself in my low number of partners now I feel an idiot for holding onto this ideal.”
Im an 18 y.o female, ihave had around 18 sexual partners, to be honest i wish id of waited, looking back it makes me feel dirty and used, i have an amazing partner now, how i wish to spend my life with, and i would have loved to given him my virginity :(”
I don't believe there is an average everyone is diffrent and some are attracted to more people through out their life and some people like 2 find the right person.its realy depends what kind of person you think u are .”
I'm nearly 20 and I've slept with 9 people. I know a lot of people that think that kind of number is too many and I must be doing it for attention or because I don't have enough direction in life. This is completely untrue. I am a happy, popular, confidant degree student with bright prospects. I think people need to be less judgmental and I believe any experience in life, good or bad helps us learn and understand ourselves as individuals more.”
I'm 21 and have had 2 sexual partners. One was a long term boyfriend and the other is now my husband.
Personally I'm glad I waited to sleep with people I've been in love with. For me sex is something really special and I'm glad I didn't give in to the peer pressure as most of my friends that did regret it now.”
i am 18 years old and have slept with 10 girls, 90 % of which have been 1 night stands, i am currently in a long term relationship. i personally believe that multiple parteners comes with beening a teen and exploring your sexual hirozens and gaining confidence with yourself, all of these people i have slept with go down as sexual experience and have just led me to the one i love . .”
I'm 22 and I've spelt with 24 lads and a girl but only 3 of those were relationships... my first time was when I was 16 but it wasn't great as I wasn't ready. My current boyfriend (who I've been with for about 7 months now) had only had 1 partner before me who he was with for 2 years. I was worried what he'd think of me and if he'd still want to know as when we were dating (before we'd slept together) as he got chatting to 2 mutual friends who told him a few stories. Especially as one lad the year before who I was really keen on, wouldn't go out with me as he thought I was "too much of a tart to be girlfriend potential". But my current boyfriend wasn't bothered and said all that matters is you're with me now. What works for us is that we're honest with each other about our relationship and we do/don't like in bed but definitley don't talk about the past. It really annoys me when people say it's ok for lads to sleep around but not girls - personally I think if you look after yourself both in terms of condoms and emotionally then it's your life live it how you choose.”
I am 20, and have had sex with one person, who is my boyfriend of almost 4 years. We have an excellent sex life and I am glad I was lucky enough to find my perfect partner so early on. Everyone is different though, and I think that staying safe is most important. It helps if you're madly in love though because its so much more meaningful!”
I'm 17 going on 18 and I've had 1. My Boyfriend, who is the only boyfriend I've had. If I broke up with him I would not go for one night stands. I think they are just cheapening sex which should be enjoyed in a loving relationship. But to each there own, I shall not look down on someone with many sexual partners and will no look down on anyone with none. Everyone is different, just find people that think the same to you. A person like me and a person that enjoys lots of sex with random people do not mix well. Enjoy yourselves.”
I'm 19 and have been in bed with 5 girls. One of which I've dated for about half a year. Personally I believe sex is a gift that shouldn't be taken for granted. If you find yourself thinking about sex too often or even if you feel you are having too much sex; chances are you're depriving your body of other essential needs such as hobbies, goals and ambition. There is far more to enjoying life than what's under the sheets. Sex shouldn't be used a supplement; but instead as a spice.”
I'm 17 and have slept with 19 guys. it's my body. my choice. I know i've had more sex than older generations. And most of my friends. but i do regret losing my virginity so long. I didn't love the guy. But first time is always bad, right?”
Im only 14 and a virgin but im shocked because i know people my age that had sex with at least 6 people before the were 16 and to find out most people only have one partner their whole life”
I don't know about averages but I married my wife when aged 32. We were both virgins then and I've never had sex outside marriage. That brings the average down on this page! Maybe I'm a bit of a freak, but the marriage has lasted and we have 3 children. Perhaps I've sacrificed some fun and experimentation but I've been rewarded with loyalty and a stable marriage.”
I've had sex with two people one of who is my wife. I was with her at a club one night and we bumped into one of her old drunken one night stands, it made for a very heart-wrenching time when i thought of the other guys she had been with, how she had given herself to other guys like him. Just remember that one day you might commit to one person for life, and how much more special will it be for the two of you if you keep your numbers down.”
i am an 18 year old girl and have had sex with 14 people and hate it when people freak out. My current boyffreind has had 2 sexual partners and i know he feels intimidated”
Well. I just turned 18 and i lost my virginity when i was about 15. I have had 10 partners and I feel bad about it sometimes but im still young, just tryna live my life. At least im being safe rite?”
i'm 23. i have had 0 partners. i want to wait until i'm married but due to the third date rule most men wont date me cos i'm not shagging them.also i attract loads of old forty year old pervs who want young virgins.girls you can't win either way.i don't regret waiting altho my prime years are almost over and i am open to the likely possibility that i will be childless and a lifelong celibate.it isn't a choice for everyone and i do need to masturbate often.”
I'm 34 and had 6 lovers, each one I've had a relationship with lasting from 3 months to 14 years!
My friend is the same age and has had nearly 40 lovers most of them casual so it does vary! Numbers count for nothing - I'd rather have 6 that I can smile about than my friends 40 (mostly drunken)and most of which she cringes about!”
I'm fourteen and lost my virginity earlier this year, but we waited 7months before we both felt it was right and I don't regret a thing. I know it's young but it did feel right and we're still going strong. My only advice is to wait for it to really feel right because you will regret it if you throw yourself away.”
Hello! I'm 18, almost 19 and have slept with 15 people.
I've read articles stating that the average amount is 7 sexual partners for men and 4 for women, I find this extremely difficult to believe, judging on our responses on here alone!
I think people really should stop lying in surveys... it's nothing to be ashamed of be it truly 1 or 150 as a friends of mine is, as long as it felt right for you at the time and you were safe I don't see what all the fuss is about!
You only get one shot at life guys... I wouldn't want to think for a moment I'd missed out :)”
I've slept with 6, only one of which was with a boyfriend, the rest were drunken mistakes. From now on im waiting for much longer from when i first meet someone new, to when i sleep with them. I think the average completely depends on whether you have been single most of the time, or always in long term realtionships, so the number isn't important.”
I'm nineteen, currently. I've slept with 10 people. I lost my virginity at age seventeen and just kind of just let sex happens when it happens. I've only had one "boyfriend" that I slept with on multiple occasions.”
Im 16 and lost my virginty when i was 13 and have slept with 32 boys, its nothing to be proud of, and you get people calling you names, and thinking your easy, so the less amount of partners is better, stick to one boy who you really like is the best way.”
Iv slept with four boys and im 18..i lost my virginity at 16 with my long term boyfriend. i nt regret that..but when we broke up i slept with 2 people straight away because i was angry..but now iv found my current b.f who is wonderful..just hope the same thing doesnt happen again.. :(”
i am 25 i have had 15 sexual partners. my boyfriend who is 21 was a virgin when i met him. i think people are far to wrapped up in numbers. it also annoys me when men can sleep with a hundred women and be praised for it. a woman sleeps with a couple of men and are deemed a slut!! its not fair and totally double standards. i enjoy sex i have safe sex so whats the problem??”
im 17 and have slept with 9 people losing my virginity at 14, i at one point did fink i loved them all however the person hose baby im carrying now, i wish i saved it 4 him as hes the best in the world. itz only him one out of nine that i felt safe to go unprotected with. ALWAYS PROTECT. and NO ur partner. i was with ALL my partners a minimum 2 months, before sex. and made sure i was ready.”
I think that is too many sexual partners for such a young age. You should hold back and find a partner that you can stay in a long term relationship before giving yourself to anyone...it'll be more special then :)”
I don't think you should worry about average. Different people believe different things but i always wanted to wait until i was married. I had sex for the first time at 24 (almost 25) and landed up marrying the guy, so for me there has only ever been the one and i'm totally happy with that. It's also much safer.”
i dont think there is an average number really, because if your in a relationship with someone and you feel asthough your ready to have sex with them. people can have hundreds ov relationships and think its right to have sex so i think its upto u.”
I think it would be extremely difficult to give an average number because so many people lie to make themselves sound better. Does it matter how you compare to other people anyway? What's important is how you feel: only have sex with partners you're comfortable with and not because you're pressurised into doing so.”
Im 16 and lost my virginity at 14.However i have already had sex with 3 different people, all which i have been in a relationship with.Is this too many for my age?”
i'm 19 and male. i have had only 3 partners, all in the last 8 months, only 1 of which was in a relationship, 1 was a 3 night stand, 1 was what i thought was a relationship (2 monthsish) until she told me it wasnt. she also may have given me genital warts and my life is ruined.”

I'm 33 and had 13 sexual partners (including foreplay only). It's remarkably tame by today's standards, and I want the 14th to be my wife (whom I'm yet to meet)!”

Im 17 and slept with 15 people.. 14 of them was within 7 months :| i do feel that i went through a slutty phase but it taught me a lesson”

I'm 23 and have slept with 23 girls. I lost my virginity when I was 16 to my first girlfriend who I was falling for at the time. When I turned 19 I had still only slept with one girl. I moved away for uni and I have had a mixture of serious girlfriends and sex buddies but never a one night stand. I've never wanted one because people say they leave you feeling really empty and used.
My number is probably a little on the high side to some people but a lot of my friends who are younger than me have slept with more.
I'm always safe but sometimes things go wrong and when they do I always get tested. You can't be too careful. ”

i'm 20, f, and slept with 52 men, i hate this fact when it's stated like that and people often see me as easy, yet i feel i've had important enough relationships with these people to have allowed it to happen, many being just friends.”

I'm 17 and have been with 12 men. I'm not at all proud of it but the majority of them were when I went through a bad patch when I found out my mum had cancer. I'm now with a long-term relationship and couldn't be happier, although I was reluctant to tell him of my experience when we first started seeing each other, I eventually told him when it came up in conversation and although at first it was a shock he thought I was silly for not saying anything.”

Sex is for those you feel comfortable with and love! It shouldn't be a drunken act! I have only hade 1 and i am 20 and we have been together almost three yrs”

I'm 42/M and I've been with 32 women. That may sound on the high side, but take into account that I didn't marry until I was 41. I presume that this skews the result somewhat, as most my age would've married sooner and taken themselves off the market (reducing the total they might've been with if they had remained single). All things considered, this averages out at just over one per year since I became sexually active, so it's not outrageous...
What MAY be outrageous is that I slept with 10 of them in a single year, after a failed relationship. I was feeling bad for myself and just went a little crazy for a while, and while fun it didn't make me feel a whole lot better.
As for STD's I wasn't always careful but managed to stay clean right up until the last woman I was with before I met my wife. Now the HPV has latched onto us both and I definitely regret THAT... At least it's something relatively benign and not one of the biggies like gonorrhea, syphilis or worse.”

I'm sorry to be rude to neone I'm 18 nd have slept with 3 guys, lost my virginity when I was 15. I'm seriously in shock from reading 16 year old girls having sex with over 30 people. Sex isn't ment for just fun. That's how people get diseas and pass it on. its bad to have so many sexual partners, when yur older sex is gonna be just another thing its not gonna be special if yu keep having sex just for the fun of it. I don't know I was just in shock nd kinda digusted.”

I'm 18 and two. I think that's bad!
I was with my first boyfriend for 15 months, I left him for the boy I'm with now.
I've loved both the people I've slept with, and it's completely unrealistic these days to expect to be with your first forever. I learnt things from my last relationship.
Ju st some people are very surprised when they find out my boyfriend wasn't my first, and those still in their first sexual relationship like to trumpet about it. ”

Im 18 and have slept with 6 people, one of whom I was in a relationship with. I don't think that you can judge people or say that there is an 'average number', as some people will only ever sleep with one person, whereas you could sleep with a different person every week..
It depends on who you are, your background etc and what is right for you. As long as your safe and sensible and having fun nothing else matters.”

I am 17 years old. I have had one sexual partner and we've been together for 16 months. I hope that he will be the only one I'm with sexually, because you cannot beat the feeling you get when you make love with someone you deeply care about and that's what I get with him.”

I am 37 and I've slept with around 75 people. I'm not trying to boast. I'm really not. I really wish sometimes that the number was a lot lower, That I had had a much less interesting sex life up until now. I have HSV1 and I have no idea where or when I got it. I've had chlamydia and gonorrhea. Despite my STI history it's that fact that I no longer have any fantasies anymore that is the saddest thing for me. Sex has become for want of a better word 'boring'. Really everyone, slow down! Please. Boring sex is well, boring! Oh, and trust me, there is nothing quite so horrible as being intimate with someone and having to say to them "There is some thing you should know. I have herpes!"”

I am a 26 year old female and I have had 4 sexual partners in my life, all in long term relationships. I lost my virginity at 19 (although many of my friends lost theirs at around 14 - I decided at a young age to hold out for someone I truly cared about and didn't feel the peer pressure or need to "just get it over and done with asap" despite plenty of opportunity, I would strongly advise this approach). I am surprised at the varying amounts of sexual partners young people have had and would urge you all that there is no rush to have sex and from my experience, sex is more fulfilling and enjoyable with a person whom you are in a loving and caring relationship. Also, please do practice safe sex!”

I am male 63 years old. I have had 6 sexual partners in my life. If my wife and I had not have been divorced 20 years ago, she would have been the only one. There is nothing in this world like making love to someone you love with all your heart. I feel desperately sorry for these very sad young people on here, who have posted some extraordinary claims. i.e. 16 years and 10 sexual partners etc. They will never experience the joy that sex can bring and they will regret their mindless behaviour for the rest of their lives. Or perhaps they won't, because they don't know any better.”

I met my boyfriend the day after my 18th birthday and we instantly clicked. We were both attracted to each other but were shy as we'd never had a boyfriend or girlfriend before. We don't know when we officully started 'going out' but we'd knew we wanted to from the beginning. We were together for 8 months before we had sex for the first time, although we'd been doing other stuff a few months before then. We're both glad we were both virgins when we met adn we know that we've never slept with any one else. we really love each other and really want it to last forever, therefore hopefully we'll each only ever have slept with one person :)”

I am 19 and haven't slept with anyone yet. Partially because I am terrified of girls and haven't even ever been in a relationship. But also because I would rather just wait for the right one. It's not about "notches on the bedpost" for me.

Johnny: You have listed some of the dangers that you have experienced personally, but what about the dangers you have put the way of others? Your story is one of total irresponsibility. A mental block about using condoms? What on earth does that mean? All you have to do is tear the packet and slide it on. A condom is for the protection of others not just yourself. I urge you to be more responsible in future.”

I'm 16 years old at the moment and i've had sex with 12 boys. Most of them were 17 or 18. All of them were older. I lost my virginaty only 2 months after turning 15. I feel gross at times because the number is so high. But I like and enjoy sex and I am always safe about it. One time I had sex with 4 people in one month. 2 of the 12 boys was a one night stand at a party and just in his car. 2 were long term and I believe I loved both. Most were friends and didn't mean more then what was done. I still talk to all of them, and I am very close friends with most. I find sex either brings 2 people close or pushes them apart. I've expierced both ways in my long life.”

I'm a 32 year old woman & have had sex with three partners, but did 'other things' with a few more. I was a virgin when I met my husband & after 14 years, when we separated, had a one month fling & felt horrible having sex without emotion, even though the sex was fairly good. I'm now in a committed relationship & love that the sex is 'making love', as it was with my husband. Despite a relatively low number of sexual partners, I have a very high sex drive & am very experimental, but without love, it means little to me.”

i think it depends on the person. Sometimes it takes a few mistakes or bad relationships to realise what is good. I have personally had that experience, where I thought that what I had was great until things didnt go right and i realised it wasn't all that good. I think if you are in a relationship with someone and you have intercourse and things dont work out, then it should not matter how many people you are sexually active with. People have to mistakes to learn from and appreciate better things. As long as you are safe, ie... no one night stands (as you dont know them) use protection and you are agreeing to do it then go ahead, but trust me sex with someone you love and who loves you back is so much better than the thing that you will probably regret in the morning.”

I'm shocked at how many people some young people have had sex with on here!
I'm not anti one-night stands/flings but I say that within reason... I'm not gonna say I'll never have a one-night stand but I'm v happy atm with my boyfriend of 18 months.
I think the average is about 7 people...

I can see us been together forever and it dosnt bother me at all that hes the only person iv slept with.

this is disgusting, sex is a gift from God for man and wife,thats not old fashoned, thats the way it still should be, not for 14,15,16 year olds at partys britan has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in europe and to be honest it makes me feel sick, Im an 18 year old lad and looking at some of these comments its no wonder we are the teenage pregnancy capital of europe, its talked about so cazually, and cheeply if sex was kept inside of marrage there would be no h.i.v or very very little of it. for me sex is something very intimate to be shared between the man an woman, its not sheerly a physical pleasure but a lot more, its emotional, its where no one else gets to see you but the person you should love the most. it hurts me reading these comments because its no longer about self respect and loyalty and intimicy, thats all lost, an trying to find an 17/18 year old virgin girlfriend is genuinly impossible between, can't help but feel dissapointed, it should be 1 sexual partner your husband or your wife, and at the alter its ment to mean forever, not for a couple of years untill im bored. its such a shame no one else see's it this way”

I feel pretty low about my magic number. After almost a decade together my partner told me that she had far more sexual partners than I ever imagined. This really upset me and I couldnt accept it. I wasnt into one night stands and felt sickened that my partner would go with men who clearly didnt respect her. I reacted by having 5 one night stands. I thought this would create a sense of guilt that would allow me to accept her past more. Previously I had never cheated even when presented with obvious opportunities. Regrettably I think Ive now trapped myself in a cycle of seeking meaningless sexual encounters driven by jealousy. I used to pride myself in my low number of partners now I feel an idiot for holding onto this ideal.”

I'm 22 and I've spelt with 24 lads and a girl but only 3 of those were relationships... my first time was when I was 16 but it wasn't great as I wasn't ready. My current boyfriend (who I've been with for about 7 months now) had only had 1 partner before me who he was with for 2 years. I was worried what he'd think of me and if he'd still want to know as when we were dating (before we'd slept together) as he got chatting to 2 mutual friends who told him a few stories. Especially as one lad the year before who I was really keen on, wouldn't go out with me as he thought I was "too much of a tart to be girlfriend potential". But my current boyfriend wasn't bothered and said all that matters is you're with me now. What works for us is that we're honest with each other about our relationship and we do/don't like in bed but definitley don't talk about the past. It really annoys me when people say it's ok for lads to sleep around but not girls - personally I think if you look after yourself both in terms of condoms and emotionally then it's your life live it how you choose.”

I think they are just cheapening sex which should be enjoyed in a loving relationship. But to each there own, I shall not look down on someone with many sexual partners and will no look down on anyone with none. Everyone is different, just find people that think the same to you. A person like me and a person that enjoys lots of sex with random people do not mix well. Enjoy yourselves.”

I'm 19 and have been in bed with 5 girls. One of which I've dated for about half a year. Personally I believe sex is a gift that shouldn't be taken for granted. If you find yourself thinking about sex too often or even if you feel you are having too much sex; chances are you're depriving your body of other essential needs such as hobbies, goals and ambition. There is far more to enjoying life than what's under the sheets. Sex shouldn't be used a supplement; but instead as a spice.”

I don't know about averages but I married my wife when aged 32. We were both virgins then and I've never had sex outside marriage. That brings the average down on this page! Maybe I'm a bit of a freak, but the marriage has lasted and we have 3 children. Perhaps I've sacrificed some fun and experimentation but I've been rewarded with loyalty and a stable marriage.”

I've had sex with two people one of who is my wife. I was with her at a club one night and we bumped into one of her old drunken one night stands, it made for a very heart-wrenching time when i thought of the other guys she had been with, how she had given herself to other guys like him. Just remember that one day you might commit to one person for life, and how much more special will it be for the two of you if you keep your numbers down.”

Hello! I'm 18, almost 19 and have slept with 15 people.
I've read articles stating that the average amount is 7 sexual partners for men and 4 for women, I find this extremely difficult to believe, judging on our responses on here alone!
I think people really should stop lying in surveys... it's nothing to be ashamed of be it truly 1 or 150 as a friends of mine is, as long as it felt right for you at the time and you were safe I don't see what all the fuss is about!

I had sex for the first time at 24 (almost 25) and landed up marrying the guy, so for me there has only ever been the one and i'm totally happy with that. It's also much safer.”

I wouldn't know. I'm 33, and have had, erm, lemme think, four partners.

i dont think there is an average number really, because if your in a relationship with someone and you feel asthough your ready to have sex with them. people can have hundreds ov relationships and think its right to have sex so i think its upto u.”

I think it would be extremely difficult to give an average number because so many people lie to make themselves sound better. Does it matter how you compare to other people anyway? What's important is how you feel: only have sex with partners you're comfortable with and not because you're pressurised into doing so.”
