Dr. Ruth, eat your heart out.


Field, how many women did you sleep with before you hooked up with the little Mrs.? That was my boy over the weekend (hey there is no NFL, men talk) grilling me about my past indiscretions. "Man that ain't none of your business, and that is definitely not something I talk about, not even with your black ass." Is what I told him.


We were cracking up on the phone. My man, a serious Lothario, was settling down and planning to pop the question to his lady this spring.

"And why do you want to know that for?" "Hey man" he was telling me, "I want to know when enough is enough." "Negro", I told him, "enough is enough when you have settled down and found your significant other. And since I am hoping that's the case, you have already reached the enough stage."


That conversation had me thinking about sexual partners and how much is too much or too little. I actually googled it, and I found that 29% of A-merry-can men have had 15 or more sexual partners in their lives, and something like 9% of women have hooked up with the same amount of people. (Yeah right, like women are ever honest about how many men they sleep with.)

I read somewhere that the average A-merry-can male has had about seven different sexual partners in his life. I am not sure about the women. Not that it matters, I bet it wouldn't be accurate. I don't know, that number just seems a little low to me. Not that I have necessarily reached that threshold, but I am just saying, with all those drunk college frat boys out there partying every weekend, hell I am guessing seven different sexual partners is all in a semesters work.

So anyway, I wanted to conduct my own little experiment. Could you folks do me a huge favor? Could you just leave a comment and a number with your post and let me know where you stand(no pun intended) on this subject. It can all be anonymous as far as I am concerned, even you regulars to the fields who usually leave your handle.


Just leave a post like this: Anonymous = 7 different partners. 9:39 PM.


Oh, could you do me another favor? Could you identify yourself as a man or woman.


Like this: Anonymous (woman) = 7 different partners. 9:39 PM.


I thank you, and Dr. Ruth and the CDC thanks you as well.

    Man that ain't none of your business, and that is definitely not something I talk about, not even with your black ass. Not especially with your anonymous black ass.

    That said, I think the number 7 seems low because of the substantial number of monogamous men bringing down the average. I think that once you have more than one partner, psychologically speaking one more does not matter.

    Take that survey again, excluding monogamous males, and that number will be disproportionately higher.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Anonymous2:16 AM

    btw, if their are any math inclined people in here, anyone want to explain how it is mathematically possible that the average number of partners for men and women can be so different?

    ReplyDelete
  49. I don't know how to answer dalit's question but I do offer a mathematical formula, based on the supposition (I read it somewhere) that the U.S. average age for first time sex is 17.

    I am betting that the national average number of partners for both men and women is:

    current age minus 17 (or whatever the average age for first time sex is) minus number of years in marriage like relationships.

    So if you are 40 and have been married ten years, 40-17-10=13.

  64. I was in college in the late Sixries & early Seventies, & played in a rock band, & supposedly mind-enhancing substances have left my memory of those events a little blurry. So I cannot provide an accurate count. It is not an extreme number but even short, shy guys could get "lucky" in 1970. Because of singer Paul Simon we were even hip. I avoided groupie types - after late gigs I wanted early breakfast at a diner more than indifferent sex. I'd guess no more than 25 altogether, only 7 of those were "relationships." & I settled down fast.

    me? Age is 30ish (i do NOT keep track. i know my birth year, but why bother with da math?). One sexual partner -- my husband.
    I'm female.

    I know someone who's done research on this sort of shit. Basically, many men are monogamous cuckolds (particularly in the fundie churches you see on TV). Another big chunk just plain likes sex, doesn't care about making babies -- and that means doesn't care how many partners one gets. Some guys (maybe 10%?) are in the "twisted" category... actively don't engage in sexual activity that might lead to babies. These are your s&m folks, some of your exhibitionists, your voyeurs (much more common on the female side, that).

    And then you get the about 4% of other guys, who are actively about procreating, as much as possible. Some of these are hard luck cases -- "gotta breed now cause I ain't gonna get another chance." So you don't get too many sexual partners out of those.

    Some, though, are the type to take any virgin who doesn't know any better (read, hasn't experimented at all), and basically rape 'em (it's still rape if she don't say a word. she dont' want it, it's rape. period.) And those tend to rack up a lot of partners, and keep racking them up (doing the babysitter, among other things -- doing the daughter's friends, etc.).

    And then you got the people like Benjamin Franklin -- the guys who can have anyone they want, and boy howdy do they want! Those are the folks that run up these sorts of numbers.

    Take my husband for instance -- he started at age eleven (and somehow managed to get it on with staffer's girlfriends at the presidential inauguration! let's just say they wouldn't give him tickets this year). He's maybe had a hundred or two.

    As to the difference in men and women?
    1. how many of the guys slept with sex workers? probably a lot more than the girls have. and not a lot of sex workers got much access to the internet, particularly if you slept with them in Korea.
    2. guys can take a sleeping girl, and some will if you let them.
    3. averages are averages. large numbers skew things up. we ain't talking median, which would probably be a lot more normalized.

    I think there will be a generational difference: pre-HIV and post. When I started to be sexually active, I worried about pregnancy and STDs, but not about what was then a death sentence. Now, with meds, people live much longer with HIV, but I lost many friends and acquaintances in those years.

    i think like someone else said, the age when someone started having sex plays a factor. and i think Rent Party had a good equation.

    i do think that these averages seem very very low. almost all the men AND women i know have higher numbers than those. and yes, women do lie. lol. if i had a reason to, i probably would too. i have friends whose number stays on four. no matter what. lol.

    (I guess that's not that different than anything else though ... if you grade on a curve, only so many people get an A, etc.)

    btw, if their are any math inclined people in here, anyone want to explain how it is mathematically possible that the average number of partners for men and women can be so different?

    Because they're reporting a median, not a mean. Ignoring Bisexuals and Homosexuals, the mean sexual partners of females and males must be the same. However the median can easily be different. Take the following example (with completely made-up numbers):

    3 Males with numbers of female sexual partners: 1,1,1,1,7,7,7,7,10,10 MEan = 5.2, median = 7
    3 Females with numbers of male sexual partners: 1, 2,3,4,4,4,7,8,9,10 Mean = 5.2, median = 4.

    This 64 yr old Navy veteran male spent 2 years in Japan during the eve of our involvement in the war in Vietnam. I remember f--ing an average of three different women per week (I was very young and didn't know squat). Since then - 1966 - and excluding one wife("enough" stage I)and current partner ("enough stage II), I figure I have 'slept with' approximately 15 different women. Frequent rolls-of-the-dice, i.e., STD check-ups with negative results; a brief stint with the SF-Bay Area Sex/Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA)plus meeting my current ala 'Michelle O' continue to keep the "dog" sleeping.

    Interesting that so many felt the need to state that they hadn't had any pregnancies, abortions or STDs. It's interesting because the CDC's statistics don't match with all the people who claim not to have STDs - like the 1 in 4 ppl who have herpes.

  151. Research is not always accurate and you have to look at the variables being used. Age groups, specific economic class, etc.

    Also there are more women on the planet then men so that could explain why the numbers seem to show more men sleeping around.

    As far as my answers, completely honest. I feel if you don't want to tell the truth, don't answer the question. Same goes for those asking Field why is he doing this but only giving some info. You don't have to participate.

    @TD1016-

    True, but that would only account for a difference of a few percent. Similarly, if you buy into the theory that there is more homosexual male activity than homosexual female activity, that would also change this, likely by a few percent. Both combined, though, would account for this sort of disparity. The most likely interpretation of this information is that females are closer to a normal distribution (i.e. a bell-shaped curve), whereas a large number of males have had very few sexual partners, but a significant number have had way over the mean (perhaps a right-sifted bell curve (with a smaller amount of curvature) with the left foot relatively high, even on the 0 mark). Obviously, without more data, these are guesses.
