I dunno, I thought it would be higher. I guess I'm just a slut surrounded by sluts (positive).
What do you think about the number? Does it surprise you? Does it surprise you that it surprises me? Did you expect it to be lower maybe? If so why?

I just find this interesting. No judgement (unless you want that you dirty little gremlin)

    as a proud member of the volcel vanguard i do my best every day to lower this average sankara-salute

    more serious


    read some discussions further down the thread, it does suck how much having sex matters in this culture. If it werent for that, being a virgin wouldnt bother me in the slightest, since I'm (i think) somewhere on the ace/aro "spectrum" (is that the right word for it?). I do think it's a shame that "incel" has come to replace "misogynist" in common lingo, because it feels to me in someway also a repackage of "virgin" as insult as well. I will say, the vocel meme is probably one of my favorite things on hexbear, because it helps make feel like less of an outcast, lol

    perhaps I am just a slut, but I lost count a LONG time ago lmao doggirl-smug

    I think most people know though, that the most enjoyable sex is almost always with a loving long term partner who you are intune with the wants and needs of, as opposed to somebody who you dont have that kind of non verbal link with yet and a deeper understanding of what works for both of you

    I've had somewhere between 4-6 sexual partners. So beneath that number. But also I'm pretty sure I've done more variety and volume of sex acts than some folks with higher numbers. So it's kind of moot.

    super NSFW

    Like I've fucked, sucked, eaten pussy, ass, been pegged, sounded and figged. Been spanked/flogged/paddled/caned. One time I ejaculated into my mouth while upside down. I've had hands free orgasms. I've orgasmed in chastity. I've had multiple back to back prostate orgasms while in bondage and sensory deprivation.

    Another reason why autism is hell

    I am very uncomfortable with sex and have only had two sexual partners, but it seems like, on average, people like me are the most often designated as incels or we’re using it as an excuse. It’s also an internal battle too because I know it shouldn’t be all about me, but god do I wish I could find someone who feels the same way about it

    Overall though, it’s very shameful. Thought I’d pick up on these nebulous social hierarchies the older I got, but they’re still beating my ass. That’s why the move is to remain as imperceptible as possible 😎

    Actually a statistical error, the average person has sex with 0 people. Suck'em Fuck'em Georg, who lives in a cave and fucks 10000 people a day is an outlier and should not have been counted

      but then 10000 people a day have sex, so the average would be closer to .1 if they each only fuck em suck em Georg once in a lifetime if he lived to be 100

    I expected it to be lower, probably personal bias though. 9 seems like a really high number of partners to me, and half of people (ish I know median vs average) have more then that? Surprising.

    That's funny, I really can't imagine more than 1 for myself. I think I might be on the ace spectrum tho.

      well for one, there isn't inherent value to number going up, it doesn't determine your worth, but secondly yeah I mean I'd say chances are probably pretty high of it goin up, especially if you are looking!

        for me the low number is from a compete lack of opportunity and a symptom of horrible social problems.

        having the option would require my life to have vastly improved, which is what i want and have no delusions or expectations of happening,

    I don't ever think of partners in a numerical way. When the time and situation is right, I guess my number goes up. I haven't had too many and am happy sharing intimacy/my life in a selective way. I'm also monogamous which influences how often this happens with someone new.

    Counting is dumb and pointless imo and nothing good can come of either keeping track or disclosing

    In fact "I don't want to know how many people you've been with" is a perfect response when some people feel compelled to volunteer this information
