Have I had sex with too many people for my age?

i started having sex right before i turned 15, i'm almost 21 now and have slept with 10 people. it seems like a lot but i was exclusively with every single one of them (sometimes decided to date them and sometimes it turned out we didn't get along) & that's also less than 2 a year? is that really a lot for being 21?

  • No. It's an entirely personal thing. I don't feel the need to share how many people I've been with and I really don't care to ask a girl I'm seeing how many she's been with.

    I like this quote from Bob Marley, "You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”

  • Most people will say it's not much, but you have to bear in mind the very low bar that this society sets for anything like that. I know a woman that continued with such a pattern, and she regrets it. She would give anything to go back and change it. She tries to warn other women to stop seeing sex as casual, but they all think it's harmless. She told me about soul ties and the entanglements you make with all of the partners as well.

    You said something about waiting more than a month to have sex. But because you've been taught that sex is casual, you think a month is a long time. But when you consider the gravity of sex... the potential creation of a whole new life, then you might start to realise that even having sex after 2 months is treating it as casual.

  • Oh darling dont u worry about it
    You tried dating n it didn't work... and this is something which happens to all of us so dont think that u have been with too many guys n all that
    How would u find ur perfect match if you wouldn't get involved with guys

    • Thanks for MHO honey

  • That's definitely a lot at a super young age. It's not like you explode when you reach a certain number though, so whatever.

  • You started pretty early. If they have all been serious, exclusive relationships, I don't see a problem. I'd still be a little put off by starting so early and having that many sexual partners, but that's probably my new trust issues because I was with a promiscuous woman and it went really downhill. She was a total whore, though, but I don't know how she started, except she started to have sex early on

  • Can't say much for your idea of exclusivity.

  • You had sex before you decided to date someone. That means you were using sex as a recreational activity and not as something to express you feelings for another person and not as something to bring you closer together. You were just fucking for fun. That is what I identify as slut behavior and it is what I would avoid in selecting a partner at any age. I don't want to be #37 or #147 on a girl's ever-expanding list of ex-fuck partners.

    • Female downvotes; If a guy did this, I would make the very same comments to him.

  • its a lot, but not too many... I dont think there is such a thing as too many... its more about how your personality changes as you gain more life experience... stay honest and respectable in every other aspect of your life, and you will be happy as you have more sexual encounters as you move your way through life...

    dont become a bitch, or a skank, or a user or abuser... just be normal and healthy with a good appetite for sex... there is nothing wrong with that.

  • Yes, and not only for your age, 10 guys had already fuck you at your 21? what a nasty record.

  • No, I wouldn’t worry about it. I don’t think it’s too much. Your body count owes no explanation to anyone. If you wanted to have sex and you enjoyed it, good for you girl. No shame in that.

  • It fine don't worry people have there wild years. I bet you done and learned some crazy sexual stuff.

  • It's normal.

  • That isn't even 2 a year

  • So 14.
    That is a lot.
    For me that is too much.
    You seem to have sex with any guy you go out with even once.
    On pace for 30-40 sex partners.
    How do your parents have an environment where a 14 year can have sex?
    Were you already allowed to date?

  • I think this is okay. I mean at least it's everyones own decision with who you sleep and with how many. Okay I'm a guy and I had many girls between 16 and 18. I don't see why girls shouldn't also try theirself out before going in a serious relationship. Sometimes it doesn't fit and you go on. That's it

    • thank you for genuinely understanding and making me feel better!!

    • I just share my opinion and you are welcome :) I don't see why so many people make diffrences between girls and guys. A guys tells gis friends he had sex with 5 diffrent girls this week and he is called a hero. If a girl tells this she is a bitch... for me this is bullshit (sorry for the hard word :D) I think everyone should make own experiences. Some wanna try many diffrent partners, others not. That's it^^

  • As you say, less than 2 a year, not that excessive, but maybe consider what you want from relationships in the future

  • It's ok dear if you are ok with it

  • The only problem I can see is I don't think I was ever on that list. Take care of that and everything in life will fall into place as if there were magical

  • I had sex with about 30 people in a short period of time (two years).

    Not worth it, I quit it.

  • I started at 18 im 28 have had sex 28 partners

  • Do you feel like you have? You're the only one who matters in that situation. If your newest partner has a problem, well it's their problem, not yours. Let them deal with it. Until it becomes an issue for you, then I say don't sorry about it.

  • You mean, are you a slut?

    Yes, you are.

  • That’s not too many at all. I don’t understand why people make such a big deal out a number anyway. I would much rather my partner know what and how she like it than not know what she likes and what her limits are.

  • That's about normal average is 2 people per year. My ex lost her v card at 17 and in a year and a half had sex with 10 guys
