That double-standard that Shani mentions is really troublesome.. why should't women be able to enjoy sex the same way men do/
Basically Jillian, that number is not their concern, and your ex was out of line for saying what he said.

call me old fashioned... but i think if you're intimate enough w/a person to have sex with them, there shouldn't have anything like "your business" and "my business" between you. sex should be the apex of human relationships... the final intimate act that is only done when all other trust and intimacy levels have been cemented.
the number of partners a person has had seems to be besides the point, i just don't see how anything is outside the limits of communication when you're involved with someone in such intimate ways.
