Curious to know what peoples thoughts are on this

Canis Lupus

220 minus your age

Jim Bob Scratcher

350

Samuri Suicide

What's average?

bassy

44 here

Twenty Grand

I'd say my average is about 30, with a Max of 42 and a min of 25 and a half.

Don't ask about the half

gammygils

Just 4 here. Honest answer. I'm 52 and 28 years happily married

wakka12

Id say around 20-30

ANDREWMUFC

35 to 40 unfortunately

CatFromHue

Are you talking about real life, or just in my mind?

Cos in my mind, whoa!

You won't get totally genuine and honest responses to the question...

People who think they have a high number will downplay and people who think they have a low number will add.

It's like online dating... Everyone is only on the website two weeks and at best, has only had one date with someone. Lol. No one ever admits to the countless one night stands.

Amprodude

what a stupid thread. who cares? I had 2 ever.

I'd safely say well over 150 - Im 35 now, but remember my first std test (no issue just get one every year) I was about 24/25 and had named 72 people on a piece of paper, named! I then started writing down one night stands and labelling them - "back of langtons, carpark in superquinn etc and was actually a little shocked as I neared the 100. There are also countless i'd forgotten about.

So since then i promised myself, i'd never count them again!

It could be 200 or more, but at least 150 - im not bragging, there was plenty of regrets in there and some truly fúcking awful decisions on my part, but sure we all have them i suppose.

If you use enough vaseline you won't need sudocrem

I would say the actual average is pretty low. Once you get to a certain age and you're not out twice/three times a week, most people are either in a relationship, or aren't half as bothered.

These days I usually keep it to relationships, so I can't see my number skyrocketing between now and the great white light.

What happens if you're in your 30s and still stuck on 0?

If you make it to 40, they'll make a film about you.

At thats stage, I would go see a professional lady that will help.

No shame in it, will get it out of your system.

Nah I've no interest in seeing an escort, I find the concept of having sex with someone who (likely) has no physical attraction to me and secretly can't wait for it to be all over offputting, it feels cold. I mean what's the point?

It depends on how much being a virgin hinders you psychologically. If meaningless sex can help your mental health even slightly, it's definitely worth it.

And we thought Jimmy Saville was dead




OP, the average over the Irish population is actually quite high.


But it is being skewed by yer ma and yer sister.

MiliMe

8 for me. I'm 36 and think this is probably quite low for the average 36 year old.

Toots

32 years old and only ever had the one partner. Met in our teens and now approaching our 8th wedding anniversary.

Enough to get to get the practice I need to be perfect at it now!

I've read that a lot of women find a guy who's uses prostitutes more offputting than being a virgin.

Yeah but they don't have to know? I think being a virgin later in life is being de-stigmatised so I doubt women care that much.

I'd be more worried about your confidence and the effect THAT has on your chances. Which is why nipping it in the bud might be a good option.

A gentleman never tells.

Has he not tried going down the fat bird route yet?


Just make sure nobody ever finds out!

I was never exactly warren beatty but I had a few successes in my younger years. Maybe 12-13

I'd love to says it's a really high number but i'm a fat bastard and I'm getting almost no fanny at the moment.

I suspect unless you're a good actor it inevitably becomes obvious.

I remember that question from my time on Okcupid. My response was always 'no'. There are still odd views around having a lot of sex, particularly if you're a woman.

Pedant alert: a lot of partners rather than a lot of sex! I find it offputting tbh and can understand either sex feeling that way. I don't think 40 is a crazy amount though by a person's 30s. If a person starts having sex at 17/18, well by 35 if they are single for much of it, things can easily add up.

3-digit figures though, wtf?!

One partner a month for 10 years isn't a huge number.

I'm always baffled by this question. How the hell do people remember? Do you keep a notebook? Or maybe it's just because I'm above the average age on boards.:D

Two, first time at age 30.

Surely you'd only forget if youve had a lot of partners or youve had sex that you dont want to remember.
