What do people think is the "right" number of sexual partners to have?
Are there people still holding onto their virginity until marriage?
Is there a limit to the number of people you should have sex with?
I am not looking for anyone to reveal that they have slept with 1000 people, but how many is too many? 50? 100?
Do you know anyone who has slept with more than 100 people? What's the most that you do know of?
I think that it depends on the person. Everyone (they say) has a different libido level, so they might have sex more often. While this doesn't neccessarily result in more partners, they also say that different people are or aren't sexually compatable and people with higher sex drives take longer to find that person that they "click" with.
Also it depends at what age you get married, if you got married at 19 I would say you mighnt have had maybe 5 sexual partners maximum, if you got married at 30 though that figure could be as high as 20 - 50.
Well, I am still waiting. And I am sure it is a good thing. As for the number of partners, I am sure it wouldn't be many. I am not much into casual sex. It would come only after a few months into a serious relationship. And since I am such a screwball, my serious relationships would have a low probability for lasting that long. Even though I have a lot of sexual energy, I am not that eager to have sex.
That is how I see it happening anyway.

I agree with Heavens... depends on the particular person. If someone wishes to wait until they're married, then that's really their choice. Good for them too. If their partner can accept that, they may very well be a good match. (and that partner may very well be the most understanding person alive, in this day and age)
I'll admit there's things I did (or people I did ) that I wish I hadn't, but my count is still very small, thankfully. To be honest, I'm a little glad I didn't save it until marriage (my wife wouldn't agree, but eh), though I wish I'd waited a little longer in the first place.
Ah well, gotta live with it... My wife is still, to me, my world, and I don't think any partners in the past could change that. Though that'd be a totally different ball-game for girls

hehehe PS. Mahesh, keep being a screwball once someone stays with you for a fair few months while you're acting like yourself, you know they're a screwball too!

No, by bettering myself I mean I try to remove my unsavory qualities (the ones I don't like myself). Apart from that, I am not going to change into someone who is not me just because my partner wants me to be.

I think there is no right number. I do believe in being honest with the person you are with and admitting how many. I do not have a high number, but I wish I had waited longer. I was 18, and I wish I had waited a few more years.
I think there is a double standard. Most women do not want to be a man's first, but many men want to be a womans.
adityamahesh said this in post #13 : I am willing to wait as long as it takes. Even if I have to wait until I am past my expiration date, I don't think I would budge.
Guys don't come with expiration date. Women do. You're safe on that one.

I know more people who wish they had waited longer.
