Your Killcount

[JoshV]

so after clicking and reading this link: http://health.msn.com/health-topics/sexual-health/mens-sexual-health/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100171250&GT1=10810


According to a nationwide survey released in 2007 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the median number of sexual partners over a lifetime is seven for men and four for women. .

That seems obnoxiously low to me(especially for the women)...and i'm not even close to ElGuapo style escapades.

How many sexual partners have you had?

[Nengjanggo]

What counts? Good old fashioned intercourse only? When I see someone on the street and know they are fantasizing about me so I fantasize about them at the same time to make it mutual? Something in between?

[Stroker Ace]

Why isn't this a public poll?

IAWTC.

[Coca Cola Zero]

IAWTC.

I Attention Whore .... Tom Cruise?

[spiffy]

It annoys me that most women could have as many men as they can drag home and don't. It's like owning a ferrarri and leaving it in the garage all year. I mean, not talking about my woman that is. All the other could-be sluts.

[shift6]

4 and 7 don't strike me as completely outlandish median values for this.

[Nathan Phoenix]

Wow. I guess I've been busy.

Men lie up, and women lie down. Men count kisses, and women only count it if they didn't regret it ;).

[AndrewM]

Do hobos count?

[DennyA]

Wait, do you mean total, or at one time?

[Lunch of Kong]

"You're not a man until you've slept with two women at once."

[BobJustBob]

"You're not a man until you've slept with two women at once."

What about one woman and one dude?

[Dirt]

I know people who've had only 1 and people who've had 50. All happy. It's all about what you want in life.

[ElGuapo]

"You're not a man until you've slept with two women at once."

Over - rated . . .




. . . nah, I'm just kidding it's fun as hell.

Too much work when you get old like me though. I can barely satisfy one woman now! So sleepy . . .

[Glenn]

I Attention Whore .... Tom Cruise?Yeah, Siren, god damn. Trying to have a thread here without you derailing it with your acronyms.

[VegasRobb]

IAWTC.

I Am Way Too Cool?

Well the true meaning is actually pretty cool too :)

[DavidKaye]

I Agree With This Comment, according to Encyclopedia Dramatica.

3. I'm a relationship kind of man.

[Cronox]

I’m not a maths genius but assuming there are roughly the same number of men and women in the US and the majority of sex is had between 1 man and 1 woman how do men end up with nearly twice as many partners as women?

[Moggraider]

Men lie up, and women lie down. Studies on this subject that deceive subjects and tell them the study administrators can measure how many people you've had sex with have shown women's numbers go up, and men's go down.

[tromik]

Aren't there more women on Earth? I assume that translates into more women in wherever they did the survey.

[Elton]

Aside from the possibility of people lying, a couple reasons:

Maybe gay men are more promiscuous than gay women?

And the quote in the OP says those figures are medians. If less than half the women in the population are very promiscuous and sleep with lots of men, and more than half the men are somewhat promiscuous, you can get different median partner counts like that.

[Moggraider]

Even when you restrict these surveys to hetero sex, you get the big difference, because people lie. I read about this stuff in my psych classes when I was in college.

[DoomMunky]

What about GOOD sex? I've had more than the average, but I'm bang on the average if you only count the number of partners I've had a really great time with.

[Hanzii]

Where's my goddamn TMI forum?

(But I do agree with Spiffy - wife excluded of course)

I agree with this 100%.

Anytime Lisa was what the guys named her
You could have her tonight
All you had to do was claim her
There was nothing to stop them from taking her out
Night after night they kissed her and tossed her about

You could prove you're a man
They said that anyone can
So everybody took a piece of Anytime Lisa
Anytime Lisa

Anytime Lisa just couldn't refuse them
A girl wants love, and guys just abuse it
To be in their arms beat being alone
Still it wasn't like having someone of her own

You could prove you're a man
They said that anyone can
So everybody took a piece of Anytime Lisa
Anytime Lisa

Phone rings, it's another voice
Brief flings, but what's her choice
She's by herself and there's no one else

Anytime Lisa, I'm not like the others
Please understand me
I don't want to be a one-night lover
There's something inside you that I want to touch
Girl you just gotta trust me, I want you so much

No need to prove I'm a man
I'm just your number one fan
I want more than just a piece of Anytime Lisa
Anytime Lisa
Anytime

A Median (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median) isn't the same thing as the common language use of "average" (i.e. Mean).

[ElGuapo]

I agree with this 100%.

Hey baby I promise you'll regret it. Whadda you say?

[Jasper]

Depends. One guy I knew in the 60+ category made an experiment of this, and his conclusion was that the ideal number to tell a woman was about 7.

Any more, and they might be so shocked they'd kick you out of bed, but less than that and they increasingly wondered why you couldn't get any. Or that was his theory at least; he definitely kept his record secret from his current girlfriend, who he was really into. ;-)

I've actually known a few guys who discretely asked me not to say anything about their past conquests to their new femme.

[DoomMunky]

As if you'd have any reason to bring that up: "Hey, could you pass the pepper, and did you know Marcus bonked three different Taiwanese girls on the same night?"

[MyNameIsWill]

Someone is blurting out a fantasy...

[Hetzer]

Do hookers count?

[Dirt]

Do you regret it?

[Union Carbide]

Do hookers count?

Hookers aren't real people, so no.

This answer also applies for other values of "killcount"

[fire]

I've actually known a few guys who discretely asked me not to say anything about their past conquests to their new femme.

I can understand this. I get super mad when my friends start berating me in front of prospective boyfriends.

E.g.,

Hockey friend: "You sure can pick 'em."
My prospective boyfriend: "wtf?"
Me: That look of death
Hockey friend: "Remember John? Boy, he was a real winner. And you were with him for how long?"
Me: That look of death
Hockey friend: "Oh, sorry, I didn't know you still weren't over him."


Another example (also not exaggerated, sadly):

Stupid: "HEY FIRE!! HOLY SHIT, I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN SO LONG!!!!!!11ONEONEONE! We have got to hang out. Let's go play board games! RIGHT NOW!"
Me: "Hi."
Stupid: "OMG FIRE, meet my girlfriend, Peaches. Peaches, THIS IS FIRE!!"
Me: "Hi."
Peaches: "Hello!"
Peaches' friend: "How do you know each other?"
Stupid: "FIRE??? SHE'S NUMBER SIX"
Peaches' friend: "YOU GUYS DATED?!?!"
Stupid: "You remember ALL THOSE ENTRIES IN MY BLOG?? That was FIRE!"
My prospective boyfriend: "wtf?"
Peaches: "SHE is number SIX???! WOW!!!!! NICE TO MEET YOU!!!"
Me: "wtf?"


This ended awkwardly, with a knee to the groin. Stupid had the gall to call me several times in the coming weeks.

You don't even need to try that hard, you can get much more similar results just by telling the subjects that the survey is totally anonymous.

[Fugitive]

I think they were more worried about someone letting the Cat out of the Bag, rather than being berated, as in "wait a minute, you told me there'd only been 3 others, how many was it really!?". Either way would suck, and it's generally just not a good idea to bring up past romances/flings when the new flame is around.

Sometimes it swings the other way though... One of the times was a roommate of mine (while renting a house with 6 guys), who had a girlfriend back home, and yet started screwing this other woman at school, never mentioning his girlfriend of course. Very awkward, as of course he asked us not to say anything. :-/

Then his girlfriend came to visit, and he endeavored to keep them both in the dark. I always felt guilty about not somehow finding a graceful moment to gently break the news to either of them; he was astute enough to avoid hanging with them at the house at all, let alone long enough for the opportunity to arise. :-(

"Don't suck any dicks on your way across the parking lot!"

[polar boar]

"Don't suck any dicks on your way across the parking lot!"

That's exactly what I thought of.

"Hi Randall."
"Thirty-seven?!?!"

[Crispus]

I've been sexually intimate with two, never had intercourse.

[DoomMunky]

By the way, who actually refers to the number of their sexual experiences as their "killcount"? That's some fraternity-brother bedpost-notching bullshit.

I have to say that what I refer to as "brutal honesty" has worked best for me in all these cases. New girls get to know that 1) There have been others, and that 2) There is no default monogamy status.

It's usually helpful since they think of you as a "challenge" rather than a doormat.

I've been in a LTR for a while now, so that's not an issue for me anymore. But I find that anytime your life is sliding toward a sitcom it's probably best to go with honesty.
