How many partners is normal?

How many sexual partners have you had? Please also include your age and gender.

I'm 21 and have only had 1 sexual partner who I am married to (we had premarital sex). What about you?

Dear dolce84,
There is not a set number that is normal or not normal. Male and females take different stock in the amount of partners they have had. Females try to forget the relationships that don't work out while males have a tendency to count them as a victory no matter how bad the break up. Any answers you get will either be greatly enhanced or greatly lessened. Women also tend to get a bad reputation when they have quite a few relationships and men tend to get congratulated. It's just one of those questions that every answer you should take with a grain of salt.
Sue...good luck

3 partners, age 22, female

I'm 23 and I have had 6. I thought that was normal (at least where I'm from) until I read Cosmo and the average was 3! It seemed soo low because most people I know have had more than me!

1 person and I'm 16 and female

I know people who have had many as well, if I hadn't been with my husband since I was 14, the number might be higher, but I take sex very seriously and I don't think that it would have been that much more. For some people though, sex is as easy as giving someone a hug... that's when it gets scary! I actually knew a girl in the 7th grade who made it a personal goal to lose her virginity before her 9th grade year! WOW!

Age: 29, Sexual partners: 7
