really? I would expect that the 80-year-old would have much more time and opportunity. what if she was married twice and the 18-year-old is still a virgin? :P
anyways,i asked for peoples *personal opinion*. what would YOU consider normal? 100 is OK?
Although... keep in mind, the 80 year olds may have had more "chance" the ones of today also came from a time when multiple partners was more discouraged.
So in 60 years or so, how the 80 year olds vote may change, based on how they lived.
I mean personally I was also a virgin at 18, but I'm also pretty sure I've had more partners than my mother, grandmother, & great grandmother combined. And that's not even counting online sexual encounters.
This is why I don't feel there is a number. As we become more open about sexual desires that number changes.
So the amount of partners one's had sex with may be very different at my age, or younger... compared to the age of someone who was alive during WW2.
I think you missed something in my reply. I said "than an 18 year old woman would expect to". It was the "expect to" bit that was important. In the context of the question, the expectation is for a lifetime.
My personal opinion is about 7 or 8, but it's a bad answer.
I'm not so sure. The 80 year old "back then" would have been heading into the sexual revolution, advent of oral contraception, free love, swinging sixties etc. era while the 18 year old today is heading into a post HIV world were many kids are going to live at home till they're 30. I'd just say its a draw at best but I'd wager on granny if I had to. Aside from that and younger people always thinking they're way sexier than previous generations (ha), people don't change all that much.
How many sexual partners is normal for a woman to have in her lifetime
← View full post
Depends how old the woman is. I bet an 80 year old woman will have had fewer partners than an 18 year old woman would expect to.
Depends on religion, too. And country. And her own moral compass.
Anyway, for the UK, all kinds of answers for you here:

OK. Thanks.
I'm not so sure.
