  • One for every year they have been sexually active is more than reasonable.

    • That disqualifies most people.

  • Anything in the double digits at any age is too high to me

    • So I could say 9 and under is acceptable to me, but its really not. I just know double digit numbers would be a dealbreaker for me. Ideally my guy would not have slept with more than a handful/5

    • It applies to both men and women. High numbers is a huge red flag and a sign that you might wanna avoid that individual when ot comes to dating prospects.

What Girls & Guys Said

  • As long as they're taking precautions, it shouldn't matter. A person can get an STD from having sex with just one person unprotected.

    The way I see it, if a girl sleeps with a hundred guys and every one of them meant something to her, or it wasn't meaningless sex I should say, then she's not a slut to me.

    It's not different than a guy having sex with a hundred woman, and as long as he doesn't have babies out there everywhere, he's not a man slut.

    Every person is different though. I guess it depends on how wreck less a person is

  • This is all determined by the people in question. Some people have hard and fast rules. If someone has more than 3 partners, they're fast and loose and should not be considered for a relationship.

    For others, it's not numbers, but the quality of the person in question at the time they meet. Though past behaviors are usually predictors of future ones, in many cases, people are done with flitting around, and have matured.

    So, often, the past is past and done with and it's the person who you know today, not who they were when they were butterflies.

  • If I have to choose, for women, no more than 30 and for men, no more than 30. I do not feel like these numbers are attainable because they are so high, but these are the upper limits. It doesn't really matter to most as long as both legal, consenting partners are clean

  • If you can still count them on your fingers I think it can pass. For me, I needed only one hand. First my highschool sweetheart who I discovered everything with. And then four others while looking for the woman for life, including my wife.

    And now one more after separation.

  • What I want in a partner, at any age, is not a particular number, but an attitude about sex. I'm not looking for a casual hookup; I want a commitment from a partner. If she joins me in bed, I want it to be an act of love and not something being done just because it feels good. I don't want to be #47 on her list if it is an endlessly expanding list but I don't care about the number if I think I will be the last on the list, however long it is.

    • Love this answer!

  • Im not sure i understand why this matters to some people. My answer is any number is acceptable. I have never been worried about the past of someone i dated.

  • Age of 30 for a female , no more than 10 different cocks , 10 allows for plenty of experimentation , any more than that she has been far too loose.

  • One.

  • Somewhere between none and a couple hundred thousands, whatever you feel comfortable with

    • What do you feel comfortable with?

    • The Person i am dating. Or the other way around, if i feel comfortable with the person, i may consider dating her.

  • I had one, bc I was married at the time, continued on till I was 40.

  • everyone is different... there is no universal set standard for "acceptable" or not

  • I know it's talking against party lines, but I don't give a shiz how many she had before me as long as there aren't any others after me. I've been around the block too many times to be a hypocrite about it and one more trip and I'll practically be sponsored by Garmin. Occupational hazard. A lot of women would be turned off by the number of women I've been with. I won't ask if you won't ask.

  • I would day 5 to 6 partners by 30 would be reasonable. Depends on when one became sexually active and the frequency of sex with a new partner occurred.

  • I am 26 and have had 12 which is think is average to below average

  • Acceptable? The only people who get a vote are the person and their partners.

  • I don't have a number... I used to have some adolescent view on this but I have to be a realist. My wife had slept with 30 guys when we married, and that was fine with me, and she is a wonderful person.

  • Less than 5 romantic sexual partners in a lifetime. Zero casual sex/friends with benefits/ons partners.

  • Oh lord, here we go again l.. "As many that feels right for you"!! 💯❤️

    • Which is?

    • Why does there NEED to be number? 🤔

    • A number is used to measure the answer to the question. So what is your number?

  • Some studies have been done to show that the more sexual partners a woman has, the higher of difficulty she has with pair bonding.

    Pair bonding occurs, thanks to a chemical called oxytocin, that forms in the brain, to give you a basis on this subject.

    A survey that was conducted in 1995 (source: National Survey of Family Growth), where approximately 10,000 women between the ages of 15 to 44 participated. The research from the Medical Institute for Sexual Health illustrated the important role oxytocin has to play in terms of pair bonding.

    “When an individual chooses to engage in casual sex, breaking bond after bond with each new sexual partner, the brain forms a new synaptic map of one-night–stands. This pattern becomes the “new normal” for the individual. When and if the individual later desires to find a more permanent partner, the brain mapping will have to be overcome, making a permanent bond more difficult to achieve.”

    Correlations have been found between the numbers of sexual partners for women and certain consequences. One of them is that women with a high number of partners are far less likely to have stable marriages.

    I can already tell women in the comments will be yelling at me, calling me a misogynist, etc., but the correlations and observations here have also been made other countless times. There is a reason why people, particularly women (and yes, even men as well) have been socially ostracized in history around the world for being promiscuous. Social and biological roles play into it. To pretend otherwise is a fool's errand.

    • Please excuse some of my poor grammar. Typing on a phone for answers like this isn't the most ideal.

  • I would say 1 every year or 2. If you go friggin relationship to relationship. But mostly 1 per year even if you aren't in a relationship. That's starting at the age of 18
