I’m in a community where it’s normal to wait until marriage, meaning that myself and many of my friends have only ever had one partner. I’m curious what people outside my bubble have experienced.

The fact that your top number specifically listed was 4 makes me feel reaaaal promiscuous over here 😅🙃

No no, I didn't think you were it just was like a moment where I caught my reflection real quick and was caught off guard but just shook it off kinda thing. Like I don't even remember the number to be honest but I for sure surpassed 4 before I graduated high school

At least 10. After I was sexually assaulted in high school, having sex with some I found attractive became a way to “reclaim” my body. Wish I would’ve known better coping mechanisms as a younger girl, but what’s done is done.

I think you should add 5-10 10-15 15+ you will get more of a specific answer xx

2 and I’m married to the second x

I had 13 years of being single after my marriage so I’ve wracked up quite some experience 😂 you’d be horrified 😂😂

Ok seeing those numbers and then seeing your comment under the post makes perfect sense 😂 my bestie confessed on a tipsy D+M night she’s hitting 60 😂 she’s still my friend though I don’t judge it’s her life but now I know why she goes poker every Friday 🤣

I think 4-10 is the global average so your numbers are very low 🙈
It depends on so many things, tbh! I'm 38 and fall within that average but have been with my husband for 13 years.
I have friends who haven't had many long term relationships who are at 60+ sexual partners. But as they're mostly short term things that's only about 3 sexual partners a year since they were 18. So while the number sounds high they're actually having less sex than the married folks!
So it's very nuanced and tbh in my opinion it doesn't matter at all. My husband and I have never even asked how many people either of us had slept with before each other.

Damn these options make me feel dirty 😂

At least 25

More than five, but less than 10. I went from "goody two shoes with a purity ring who's saving herself for marriage" in high school to (cue Madea voice) "I put the H and the O in hoe" in my early 20s. 🙈

40+

Only one, husband and I were each other’s first and only. Wouldn’t change it for anything :)

That is such a beautiful thing❤️. I wish I saved myself for marriage. I can’t image how amazing you bond and sex life is. Good for you girl, genuinely.

More than 4 thats for sure lol

Out here embarrassing me 😂😂 but it was when I was younger and made some bad choices. Like above 10

I don’t think there is any “normal” it all depends on the person!!
I’ve been with my husband since I was 16 so I’ve not needed to be with anyone else. X

Ive only had sex with my husband. Idk whats "normal" either. Im definitely not normal. My virginity was a HUGE turn off to men in college smh. However the same men say they dont want a woman with a high body count. Some say high is as low as 3! 😒

same! And I was relieved when I saw the majority was in the 4+ range

I dont actually know for sure but, a fair few. All over a relatively short space of time. These days i cant comprehend sleeping with different people...

I had to think about it. 3 women, 3 men.

Whenever I got asked that by men I always answered with “Enough”. For who ? For me 😂 take that as you please.

Not sure of the count anymore but it’s definitely more than 20
But I didn’t get married until I was 38, so that’s a lot of penis to see in the meantime! 😂

One time a guy asked me how many guys I had been with. I told him that I wasn't exactly sure. He then said "ballpark". I replied wide-eyed "a WHOLE ballpark?!"
We finally had sex today, 2 weeks is usually not normal for us as we have sex once or twice a week. But I was a little confused because it took him a little while to finish usually if it’s been a few days he will always cum fast..

Hi, I’m wondering if there are any other mums who are not returning/didn’t return to work after mat leave, and instead are stay at home mums. I’d love to hear your experiences, what you get up to with your Lo’s, when you plan to sign them up for anything like pre school etc. Thanks! :)

Anyone else got really rubbish maternity pay?
I get 6 weeks at 90% then the rest is statutory which barely covers bills!
I want to take atleast 8/9 months just to be with baby but it’s daunting with the lack of income.
Anyone got any money making/saving ideas?

This is new for me to try and meet friends, so I’m hopeful to connect with someone who also feels like they need a community. I’m due late December, and I don’t know any other moms to talk to about pregnancy and baby around the corner. I just moved to Oregon from Maine because of my husbands military career, so it’s a bit lonely being somewhere where I know nobody. It’s also the first time in my life Im not working full-time.
