Do you keep count? (male edition) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Willravel · 10-08-2007, 09:28 PM

I started to read a really interesting thread when I realized it was the Ladies Lounge. I backed out slowly, but the question was interesting.

Do you keep count of your sexual partners?

I never really thought about it until today. It'd be nice if I could say I could count them on one hand, but it'd be a really weird looking hand with a lot of fingers. Thinking back on my past, I remember names and faces and experiences. Um... 30ish? Jeez....

Charlatan · 10-08-2007, 09:33 PM

I used to but, you know, the past is the past.

LazyBoy · 10-08-2007, 10:35 PM

nah...don't see the point

-Will

MrFriendly · 10-08-2007, 10:38 PM

I can count the amount of sexual partners I've had on one finger.

Shauk · 10-08-2007, 10:57 PM

I have had 4

it's not a matter of trying to keep count, its just such a small number that it's not really hard to remember.

KirStang · 10-08-2007, 11:20 PM

Same. I've had three. They've all been interesting experiences....and I consider every new partner something special, so i guess i try to remember it.

OMS · 10-09-2007, 03:51 AM

Willravel, you can count them on the fingers of one hand, just use binary

I am in a similar boat, just probably older and have seen & done more.

I know how many (roughly) but I wont say, I've been in love, I've had one night stands, I've seen escorts, hell I even fell in love with an escort more than once.

I guess some people would call me a slut, maybe they'd be right, but I'm not a bad person, I care about people and respect them.

For me its about respecting others, sex if its safe and fun isn't something to judge someone about.

YMMV,
OMS

Push-Pull · 10-09-2007, 04:10 AM

Partners participating in actual penetrating sex, one hand.

Partners involved in all experiences classified as sexual, two hands.

Never with a pro.

Quite happy with it as it is, more wouldn't necessarily add to my happiness.

Menoman · 10-09-2007, 04:32 AM

I tried to, and still try to, just coz its something for me to know. I'm either at 6 or 7 but I can't remember if I actually did fuck this one girl, or basically anything that happened after about 10pm.

Deltona Couple · 10-09-2007, 04:33 AM

I had a contest with an old friend when we were in college. who could have the most sex with different women in a year.(This was back AFTER the basic STDs, and before the AIDS scare) And thinking back I am DAMN lucky I didn't catch anything, but lets just say that even in binary, I think I would have to count on two hands. Not something I am proud of considering how stupid and risky it was, but just a general fact. Yea, I was a male slut. But I CAN say that since my college days, I can count the number of partners on both hands, using non-binary counting.

tecoyah · 10-09-2007, 04:59 AM

When I was younger, and thought of conquest I did indeed keep a running tally. Though I am certainly not proud of who I was at the time, it was pretty easy to update the count in my mind when I read this thread, if only because the attitude change has slowed my stupidity and created respect.

Yeah, I'm at 2, and expect to stay there permanently.

Funny aside: my wife and I had a dinner conversation one time where we tried to remember all the people that each of us had dated, just to see who had dated more. I thought that I had remembered all of them, until she pointed out that I had forgotten to include the girl to whom I'd lost my virginity.

In my defense, it was a 2 night stand. But still...

ruggerp11 · 10-09-2007, 06:53 AM

18 or 19 lol not sure.

Sure, if I really went back and looked at the list I made once years ago then I could get a real handle on it but its not that huge of a deal.

fresnelly · 10-09-2007, 07:34 AM

Two. I married the second one.

Plan9 · 10-09-2007, 08:30 AM

Between the fake names and blur of bobbing heads... who can keep track?

BigBaldRon · 10-09-2007, 09:22 AM

I stopped counting at 100.

freeload · 10-09-2007, 12:44 PM

Two - Married the first, the second is a...good girlfriend we too seldom invite to share our bed

Edit: That's 10 in binary....10.....starting to feel like a man

So what, you tattoo an extra line on there after each conquest? I really hope you don't actually cut a notch in it!

Me too.

Although during a conversation with the girl that took my virginity I was forced to figure out how many it had actually been... I could only remember about 40 more.

binary can get you all the way up to 1023 by my count...

one for me...though is it any surprise that the guy who knows binary is at one?

Hydra1978 · 10-09-2007, 06:40 PM

Well, mine is a bit wierd.

I can count partners on one hand, but I was counting total times with all partners for a while.

I was told I was strange so I stopped counting, since I told someone it was 658. ;-) I got so much crap about it I stopped all together LOL.

Daoust · 10-09-2007, 06:57 PM

I am in the 1 camp. And I don't mean that as in only one. One with whom I'm still with and very happy.

That is really weird. REALLY weird. What do you even count? Ejaculations? Penetrative events?

So complicated...keeping track of partners is hard enough

If you can't remember, you shouldn't be such a slut/whore (And, before someone says it, men can be sluts/whores, too)

I wouldn't think that's something I'd be proud to admit to others.

Judgemental much? Are you telling me that my slutness/whoreness revolves around how I document my sex life? I know my number is between 15 and 20, as I said earlier in the thread...does not spending the time to try to relive the past, or every really caring what my 'number' was make me more of a slut than someone who knows their number is 23?

Also, since you surely wouldn't call a group you yourself fall into 'sluts and whores', why didn't you contribute your 'number' (which you've surely been carefully documenting, in the column right next to 'girls who have hugged me', 'nipples licked' and 'vaginas seen')

I'm always amused by the stigma our society attaches to enjoyment of sexual activity, even among the more "enlightened" individuals.

analog · 10-09-2007, 11:52 PM

It's been enough, and with 3 good girlfriends, that I'm very comfortable with the relatively low number that I have.

I don't think I'm "keeping track" so much as it's not difficult to remember the number and the women because it's relatively low (cannot be counted on one hand, but relatively low).

My number is easy to remember-- 2 :P

Edit: To answer question: 6 (I hate hugs), 3 and 2.

canuckguy · 10-10-2007, 02:33 PM

This thread is so high school! haha

Not sure how many, don't count or keep an active total, i am guessing north of 30 and south of 60....

either way, only a hand full stand out as special. The current one is defo a stand out!!!!!

DaveOrion · 10-10-2007, 07:09 PM

Yea, I have no idea.....lost count somewhere after 5, in high school

......maybe 30, not really sure though....

Ilow · 10-10-2007, 07:38 PM

Is it me or is there an amusing coincidence between some of these numbers and the Ladder Theory thread? For me there is some complication between the number of sexual partners including or not including non-penetration sexual encounters. I believe that I am in the low double digits in terms of intercourse, and who knows how many random blow/handjobs along the way. 3 relationships over a couple of years each holds down the number. In some ways I believe that I would like my current partner to be my last.

I could probably have had more than one, but I see time/money/energy spent on partners that dont have what it takes to make the "final cut" as wasted effort. I've been dating one girl for the last 4.5 years

Yes, I do. I used to be such a recluse that I would count handshakes, glances, and even hugs.

Partners? Just one.

Do I count how many times? Yes, religiously (*No ironic pun intended*). Unless I become a pornstar (Yeah, right) I will always keep count.

Chumley · 10-11-2007, 03:18 PM

I'm at 11, by my best reckoning. I really hope I'm not forgetting anyone. 8 of those were real relationships.... the others very short-term.

How do you get numerous hand-jobs and blow-jobs along the way? I missed out on that -- damn!
