What’s the “optimum” number of people to bed down before you leave this earthly plane?
Rather smugly, a dating site seems to think it has the answer.
The site — which caters to married people looking to find a sexy side dish — has revealed its sketchy research on sexual partners after its users participating in a study.
And that number is…
Yes, according to their data, somebody who’s gotten sexy with 10 to 14 sexual partners is “the perfect amount.”
And not in a week or month. A lifetime.
That number, the website claims, describes somebody who is “sexually adventurous, liberal, and transient.”

The website doesn’t specify what alien dimension they conducted their research in.
What’s more, the research suggests men who’ve had less than 10 partners indicates “sexual inexperience and a lack of adventure in the bedroom.”
But it’s a very slippery slope. Over 19 sexual partners and you’re “too eager to jump from partner to partner, or simply too selfish and difficult to please.”
Do you think there’s any credence to this test? Or do you think it’s… inane? How do these numbers size up to the prodigious notches on your own bedpost? Sound off in the comments below.

12. Really.
Junior High school: 6 boys sometimes
Senior High School: 8 boys often i mean often
Quota met.
And let’s count ONE(1) Southern Decadance Weekend: UHM, who has time to count!

Looks like I peaked in high school.

This is an overwhelmingly LOW number for most of us surely. I certainly don’t consider myself promiscuous. But if I look back from (we’ll say…) 18 years old, I’ve ‘averaged’ about 8 guys per year. That’s about 160 different guys and counting for me (give or take a mistake or two)! I’d consider my described situation to be similar to most guys, right?
Jack Meoff
Michael I would suggest that you are on the low side compared to most gay men buddy but good for you.

I was a few months shy of 31 when I came out, and I’m quite sure that I surpassed that number within the first two years.

First off the “correct” number of sexual partners one has is the number that is comfortable for the individual.
I think the absurd number here is based on a heterosexual sample. Gay men usually have many more partners than this, but for goodness sake, who needs to count and compare with others?
barkomatic
They need to define sex. Any type of sexy naked play or interourse?
miserylovedme24
I’d like a definition as well. I’ve done oral with a lot of guys, but I’ve only done anal with one (my partner). So I don’t know if I’m over or under on this. lol

Once you get past a heavy make out session you’re on a slippery slope. Blow jobs are sex – also hand jobs and Frot.

I guess I’m an outlier in the community. Ten to fourteen partners is extremely above my count: Four. I’ve been with four men throughout the course of my life, and I married to and monogamous with #4.
Not sure what their metric for optimum is… but I’m pretty damned satisfied with what I have.
charlie_jackpot
Well mine is in triple figures I guess, so what does that mean?
Hermes
Less than 20 here – though not by much — mostly in Jr. High school, high school and college. Same one for the last 25 years.

I’ve been with my husband almost 18 years. I guess I was pretty selfish before that because you’d have to add a zero even to the 19. Heck, even since partnering I’ve exceeded these numbers when I think about the occasionally 3-way and extracurricular, approved,hookup.
Raymond Saint-Pierre
I’m approaching 70, but if I limit myself to only sexual relationships involving one individual the total is hundreds. If I include everything else, it’s probably in the thousands. And I don’t find it all that unique!
Doughosier
It’s different if you’re a reasonably attractive gay man. I remember asking a straight friend how many women he had had sex with and it was a number under 10! I remember having to hide my disbelief as that was a normal month for me (at that time)
He BGB
I stopped counting after 42,638.
Mick406
Good Lord! I must be a whore! I’ve had more than 25 women and damned near 1,000 male ‘activities’. I’m in my 69th year and don’t want to slow down. I don’t know whether to fee like I’ve been super lucky or to feel guilty that I indulged so much!!!
scotshot
Don’t feel slow down if you don’t want to, why torture yourself?
OzJosh
Surely they’ve left off a few zeroes?
KaiserVonScheiss
The optimal number should be one. I know that’s unrealistic, but I guess I’m a dreamer…
liam.darcy
12… wait, at once?! Oh god I’m going to have to do some stretches.
pvogen
I had 12 in one month (it was my birthday month long celebration) in my early 20’s!! ? Met the love of my life soon after! We are together 14 years now!!
USMCDaddyJ
I’m going to sound like a total whore, but was with about 25 people before I graduated high school, hundreds more in college ( I was in a frat, played sports, and was a bartender), and then was a Marine officer who traveled the world and screwed countless others. From what I remember my number is over 1200 and yet my husband knows this and we have an amazing sex life and are completely happy.
greenmusic23f
For some reason, I’m trying to figure out what the number in the picture is…
JJinAus
12!!!! I slept with way more women than that before I came home to men. I can’t remember, but I am up to about 100 now – although monogamous now. No, I have no STIs. I only regret one or two. Despite hardships, it was a hell of a lot of fun.
lovesmiles
Wow, my first guy was 10 months ago and I’ve been with 9 more since. Had 4 women in the 40 years before that, so I’m 2 over the limit, I better not be done lol.
shonty999
12…I did that years ago. I don’t count anymore. Guys from http://freegaycams.xyz are supercool.
Captain Obvious
I think this study assumes everyone waits to meet people they actually have a real connection with and want a relationship with. Some people just really like sex.
Doughosier
It’s about straight people. That’s not an unusual number for a straight guy. We have WAY more sexual partners.
Maxine
I lost the count, but I can tell you all…I LOVED IT! Now I’m married and monogamous. I never regretted my past life as it was great and fulfilling. Numbers is deceiving so don’t go with that crap! Be yourself and love the choices that you make, even if you make a mistake, learn from it.
shonty999
2 boys per day is a my daily diet. I think that more than enough for me.
anyways have a look at this software if you like tally erp 9 crack
