Number of Sexual Partners ??

Hello All

Ok i am a 34 year old woman & not happy with dating men & having my number keep going up. I have never slept with someone I wasn't in a relationship with until last weekend. I never in my life had a 1 night stand.

I have been with 12 men, I always was in a relationship with someone, throughout my life. I always have a boyfriend.

I have dated this guy before fooled around, knew him for 17 years & we ran into each other last week & ended up sleeping together.

I don't know why i am so bothered that my number is now 12!
I have had friends in high school that slept with everyone.
Why does this bother me so much? Why am i so hung up on the number?

Just curious ladies, how old r u & how many partners have u had?

I am 40 and same as you, only have had sex with men that I was in monogomous relationships with ( well, after a few crazy flings in college, pre-aids days)

I don't like the fact that my # would go up, because I have found more damaged men than I would have liked, so I STILL only have sex in serious relationships and convienetly have " forgotten" my number, LOL

( and HERE is another area where men and woman will never be equal, men inflate their number, woman deflate it !)

I'm 38, and have been with 6 men. All of whom I was in a serious R with. My number may be on the "low" side....but I got married at 17, and was with him for almost 20 yrs.

I'm in my early thirties and have slept with two men but I'm on the extreme low side of the bell curve of sexual partner numbers.

Melony -
So u know how I am feeling. I just hate that all these guys has so many issues. I wish I knew it right up front & not afterwards. haha Yes u r so right. For men to have alot they are studs for us, women we are easy haha.

I don't know why i am 34 years old & this bothers me. I guess cause I always thought i'd be married by 25. I don't know why having sex with my friend that I knew for 17 years is bothering me, its not like he was a complete stranger or anything. I must be PMS'ing haha

Any of my friends would be bragging that they slept with such a good looking guy & here i am upset over it hahaha. I guess since it was the first guy that i am not in a relationship with.

Kwo - Do i have this right......
u got married at 17 & was with him for 20 years & had 6 partners?
17 plus 20 is 37...

On the positive side, I WILL say this : After breaking up with a long term BF that I had a good sexual relationship with, I would always do the self pity trip of " Now I'm going to be with some 3 second guy with a 2 inch dick who doesn't believe in oral sex, woe is me"......and....they keep getting better, so....

At least thats one " break up" delusion I've put behind me !!!!

LOL Well, partially right. First, I typoed, that should read 5, not 6. Didn't catch it before. And to further clarify, one partner wasn't an actual R, I was raped at 16.
I had a bf at 16, and was with him. met and married my husband. I said "nearly 20 yrs". We were actually seperated at 18 yrs, and the divorce wasn't final until 20. I had a R after leaving my M, (turns out he was M himself, so I ended that), then dated another man for 6 months. And am with my current SO.

5, not counting the rape.

No problem, it was a very long time ago.

And, the M wasn't so great, he turned abusive. I stayed for the kids. So...I envy you somewhat.

Damn, I am always amazed that most people on LS have slept with more people than people I have met in my life who I even would have considered being in a relationship and sleeping with.

I must be one of the weird, picky ones.
