It is what it is. I don’t give it any thought at all.
Each partner added something to my life experience but none of them provided anything like the wonderful sexual experiences that I have enjoyed with my wife for the last 46 or so years.
I met my OH when I was 18 and I hadn’t had a lot of sexual experience ( just one previous sexual partner). I have never felt like I would of liked more partners as the sex with my wife has always been great. The only downside was due to my lack of sexual intercourse I only lasted a few seconds for the first month.
Im with @rockstar on this. Like your age, the number of people youve slept with doesnt define who you are. Its just an arbitrary number at the end of the day.
I think every experience with someone is unique. Your not going to have the same thing with someone else, and it adds to our lives in a unique way ( even if its a lesson in what not to do next time)
Do i wish to have more experiences? yes i do. But that doesn’t make me value the ones I’ve had less. Even if i haven’t found someone I’ve really connected with, the other experiences all helped make me who i am in greater or lesser ways.
It’s low I have only been with two people maybe three but there was no sex involved I don’t actually think anything happened but it was such a long time ago. lol
So my first one was and is always going to be something special as it was with someone special who I had been flirting with years.
Then my second one was also great who I did end up having a child with but no longer with her, so I’m happy with the 2 count probably sounds awful to some people being 44, I suppose you can also see it as I’m a long term relationship guy rather than going from one relationship to another.
It’s just a number at the end of it, my last partner thought I had been with loads of women just how I was in the bedroom confident and liking different things.
My number is low and all were long term relationships. I would have liked to have had casual sex experiences and the opportunity to have sex with a woman.
I feel like I was a bit too sensible in my late teens and early 20s
I’ve only had 3 partners and only 1 (current) is sexual. I was very picky who I had sex with, if I felt there was no emotional connection I wouldn’t, no matter how horny I was.
But happy me and OH have amazing sex and lots of it
Mines high, but I don’t really dwell on it. Obviously there are some partners that were less than ideal but I’m not sure id change anything as it’s shaped who I am now
To be honest I would have to think for some time to get an accurate number . Been married twice and had a nine year gap between those . When I was young and had my heart broken I switched to semi fuck buddies for a while . I did propose to a woman that was a perfect match that loved the same things I did and we were on the same level of sex . She declined . I am guessing my number is about 30 or so .
It may be a little lower than I would have liked . With my sexual attitude now that number would be a bit higher .
As for thinking about previous partners turn me on , yes several are memories that I will cherish until the end .
I’ve knocked back far more offers for sex than I’ve accepted, mainly because I was in a relationship at the time, and I have those rare birds called Morals.
Most of them were drop-dead gorgeous, too, damn and blast it…!
I have the same affliction . Especially when I was body building . Had many offers when a fireman also . I must admit several tested my morals to the limit , but I held fast .
I’ve had 5 before my marriage at age 29. Then 3 since my divorce. Only 1 of those was a one night stand. I’ve had other opportunities but prefer to have a deeper, romantic relationship before I commit to sex. Each brought new ideas and experiences. I rarely count and am satisfied with my ‘number’, neither wishing more nor less.
