Is 5 a high body count?

[Anonymous]

I’m 18 years old and female and I’m just wondering if 5 is an average body count for my age or not.

Neither high nor low. It is what it is. Measure your sexual partners not against some scale that changes literally with every single human you speak with, but rather measure it against whether you wanted to have that sex and whether you gained pleasure and sexual satisfaction from the sex. And can you use that to please your next partner and gain pleasure from the next partner and -- WAY more importantly -- connect with future partners.

The other thing, though, is to realize that while I underline my point to not measure the number of your sexual partners as too high or too low or just right, there are those who will judge you for it. Recognize that so you're not surprised by it when it happens.

But live your life but do it with intention and thought and purpose and enjoyment and deliberately and not because of a number or other factors.

5 is a bit high but I have a question for you. How many of your visitors involved a few intimate sessions? I have no issue with your being in love (or you think you are) and have been intimate with that guy even dozens of times. That's a reflection of love. But casual, short term encounters are a red flag. They can mount up and render you unable to love and commit. One way to limit that is to set a standard for the number of real public dates you have before you engage in intercourse. 8 or 10 is good.

There is no number that’s too high. Some people just like sex more than others and have had more partners. So what? That old-fashioned puritanical view of sexuality is a load of crap. You’re perfectly fine.

Seems a bit high, but I'm from a different generation. Not my business though. Stay safe mentally and physically

[JBlade]

For your age, seems a bit high. People who are saying it doesn’t matter are lying. It may matter to someone that your interested in long term.

You just 18, and already 5? it's slutty in my book, the average body count don't matter to me.

[Reece12345]

I would say no, not even for 18, necessarily. Everyone is different.

Sigh, but I think this whole BC thing is WAY overblown.

[Summeroflove]

Yeah…… yeah. You’re going to end up with some nasty STD’s

[Bricealan]

If you were 10 years old, and had a body count of 5, I would say yes!

[AviatorTom]

For 18yo, 5 is pretty high. 5 would be more typical of someone in their late 20s or early-mid 30s.

High for an 18 year old

[Sam2Iam]

I don’t know. Never thought about it. I don’t think it’s terrible.

[Nikki1989]

No, not even close.

[TacosRAwesome]

It's quite high for 18. Probably reasonable at age 25 or over.

[Sparkie460]

It's high for an 18 year old but I won't judge

[AustColombiangirl]

oh hun never worry about that you just have as much sex as you please

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

It’s honestly common in my country at least. USA.

[swettannie]

5 is kinda basic, nothing special really. and even so, does it matter? enjoy your life !

[Danisgivingit]

I’d say high. Seems a bit too easily handed out.

[TallAnon]

I heard the average person has 7 sexual partners in their life.

[bamesjond0069]

It's very high for where you should be and where men will expect you to be (that is down the line when a man is considering you for marriage or to have kids with). However is it average compared to other girls sure.

And this is why more and more men aren't marrying women. If every woman slept with 50 men, that won't make men have to marry women with higher counts, just men will not commit to women. That's all.

[Guardian45]

Uhhhh. No.

[Preeti161101]

5 or 50 same

[Lookitsmadmax1994]

Not at all.
