Is it off for a 34 year old man to have only had 7sex partners?

My 34 yr old boyfriend told me that he’s only had less than 10 (around 7 or 8) sex partners in the 10 years he has been sexually active. I was genuinely shocked. Is there any other guys with a low count like this? I always assume men have a high number or sexual partners.

  • Logically men could not have any higher count of sexual partners than a woman can. I would imagine 7 is actually the higher end of average.

  • What's off is that he doesn't remember if it was 7 or 8, lol.
    "around 10" should be a pretty easy number to remember.

    • That’s what I was thinking

  • There’s nothing off about that. Sounds like he values commitment.

    • Is it off that I’m a 38 year old woman and have only had one partner for 20 years?

    • No I don’t think it is off❤️

    • Thank you ❤️

  • Ok please tell me where it is written in stone that at a certain age a man should have had X amount of sex partner, man stop it worrying over trivial stuff like this, you got 7 under your belt that's great don't listen to other guys lies about how many they got by this age, and tell them animals don't count, kidding, no I'm not, why do we as a species feel that all is lost if I haven't done x by the time I'm this age, just because some nut wrote a book about his fabricated accomplishments by this age and by this age I had, blah, blah, blah, it's your life you can't do as another claimed, how many people died is disabled miserable broke because of this way of thinking, just do what you enjoy in your life and not get hooked up in the antics of what others are maybe into, unless your truly into that yourself, stop counting how many women you slept with who gives a damn I don't that's your affair why I follow in no one's footstep, make my own care less what others are doing, you should also , got more important things going on than to worry about having a hi pussy count, just be happy some girl has sympathy or was super horney and you just happen by and she said eh, hell do and gave you a taste, ok

  • Why not. If he had commited relationships with all his women, this number could be even lower.

  • Why are you shocked? I thought women don't sexually desire men. I'd assume it's because he's had a hard time finding sexual partners because women don't really want sex or desire the opposite sex the way men do. If anything women are only sexually interested in the top percentage of men where as men are sexually interested in the majority of women. This imbalance of desire between genders is the problem. I bet he craved to have more sex partners, but most women refused. It's sexually frustrating when both sexes don't desire each other the same with the same intensity. And most of the time it's the side that wants sex that suffers.

    • Where did you hear that from a lot of single girls I know said they miss the sex but not the bloke lol

    • @19magic wait, so women do crave sex and desire men in general? I always thought sexual attraction was one sided because I've read many articles and website chats saying that women are extremely picky and only desire a man based on his overall score of qualities and traits due to evolution and that men were basically the pursuers. So is all that I consumed false assumptions and stereotypes that I should ignore?

    • I'm not saying that there isn't those types out there cause as a girl I know of both types, but girls can be sexual too

    • Show All
  • you're surprised because you're realizing women have a sexual abundance at a young age because all women need for sex is to look good. Men have to become high value to live in sexual abundance. Only ten percent of men are having frequent sex because high value men are much more rare than a pretty woman

  • Seems reasonable to me.

  • Some guys go for quality not quantity.

  • I'm 49 and I've had 3.

    But then I'm not a male slut...

  • Sounds like he has high standards.

  • On average men have the exact same count women do. It's mathematically impossible for that not to be the case. However, a small group of men have a ton of sex, which means the "typical" guy actually has slightly less partners than the "typical" woman.

  • 7 is high to me, I've had less than that... now if you were to ask how many times I've done it with the same partner? Well that number is way too high to count...100k or more probably, just guessing.

  • I've only had 2 (but then I was a virgin till 35)

  • Maybe he was in a couple of long term relationships. He was getting plenty of sex but all with the same person. Not everyone has a whole bunch of one night stands.

  • You should probably stop assuming then.

  • Average I presume. Why are you making a big deal out of this? You thought he was a gigolo?

    • Honestly yes. I’m not very experienced with dating so I’ve always had this idea about some men.

    • Well sure, there are 'some', but the vast majority are not 'players'. There's a certain level of value most place on intimacy with the right partner. Most are 'serial monogamists' - they date one until or unless it fails, then move to the next one. Your duty in dating, your job if you will, is to get to know and to gain sufficient knowledge about the other to be able to discern, to make a determination, or judgement, on their worthiness. As a mate, partner, whether they're worth your substantial investment in time and emotion. Most simply will not be worthy. Tell us why you think a 34yo man should have had more than 7 sexual partners. Please, we're dying to know. Frankly I think you're just clueless, your head filled with a giant load of garbage. And he's probably a great guy but you doubt his worthiness anyway. FAIL

  • it's funny that women being 34 with 7 sex partners think they're sluts and men with the same stats are considered borderline incels xD

    • This is absolutely nothing to do with the question that I asked

    • i think it's not off. not all men are promisquous and some are very monogamous or just dusty af :D it happens.

  • I've only had 2. Only serious relationships.

  • Normal if they were some type of relationship. Weird if they were all one night stands.

  • Some men like to boast they've been with a lot and that brings the stereotype that most men sleep with a lot.

    I don't know averages but I'm comfortable with a small number personally.

  • I'm sure there are guys that have even lower numbers. It all depends on the person. He might have had a few long term relationships
