Is it normal to have had sex with 10 to 15 people by the time you are 25 years old?

I have been watching some tv shows that i wouldn't normally watch and i am noticing that people who have had sex with more than 10 (usually saying 10-20) people are viewed as promiscuous. This has been a surprise to me. These people are talking about 10 to 20 people before 30 years old, saying that this is a high number. I must be from a different planet or a whore or something. Surely this is normal. 21 people from age 18 to 25 is only 3 a year. 12 people from age 18 to 30 is only an average of 1 a year.
Are the people who believe these figures to be high correct or is it normal?

    do whatever you want. don’t let anyone tell you you’re a whore, it’s ultimately up to you how many people you have sex with.

      But what if other people found out about it that they are one?

    There are so many different reasons and factors that go into why people have sex... that comparisons between individuals on sex frequency and numbers of sex partners makes no sense at all.

    Forget the averages... The question is what is right for you at this time... That may change in the future as you mature more, and it may not.

    Be safe, have fun, and find satisfaction...

  • I've heard before that 6 people is like, the average number of people a person your age has slept with in your life. That being said, if you're not hurting anyone, no one's hurting you, and you're practicing the stuff safely and consensually, it's no one else;s business, so do what you want.

    I was at that by 18 and I knew plenty of others who were too. I’m not normal but some of the other peeps were, so I say normal-ish.

    Youre not a whore at all. You can have sex with as many people as you want hunty. Its your choice and how you feel about yourself is more important than how others feel about you. ❤️ Being safe and happy is all that should matter imo

    My mother was a “whore”, and she was quite proud of it, too.☺️

    She died when she was 54. When she raised me as a little girl she enjoyed telling me tales of her many “conquests”.

    These were not tall tales. My mother was a batshit insane but nonetheless BRILLIANT fucking bartender. As she smoked meth out of her glass pipe in front of me I could only sit on the floor, cross legged, transfixed, and...in truth, fascinated by the things that this woman chose to utter to me.

    My mom fucked about 43 guys at this seedy ass bar she worked at for a few years, basically. Yeah it’s normal. :')

    A clergy once told me; each person you have sex with, you take a little bit of that person and lose a little bit of yourself.

    I'm not sure how true that works out (especially for ons), but I believe there's some truth to it especially the older you get.
    I also think it depends on where your at in life. As far as that average. 3 a year try 3 in a 24 hour period but probably not more than 1 every two to three years on average by age 40.
    There was a five year period in there I really didn't care one way or another.

    I do look back now, and those that were more than a ons(even one of them), I do think and wonder about.

    You have to do you. If you're doing it because you just like sex that's one thing. Using it as a tool to get somebody to like you or feel you have to is something else. Then there is always making money with it that's totally different. Not saying unacceptable just understand why you're doing it.

    I did have sex with more than 40 people in a span of 1.5 years during my early twenties until i found the love of my life. I would have kept going if i didn't meet her and it would have gone higher than 100 in just 2 years. It's fine just be careful as pussy can carry many different diseases which you don't want to be hit with.

    People - especially Americans - really enjoy judging other people on their sexual interests and the amount of experience they've had.

    And, of course, the sort of TV program I suspect you're referring to is all about petty drama and manufactured conflict. The producers select participants they hope will provide that, so you'll see some sexually-inhibited prude put up against someone who really enjoys sex and has no interest in settling down with someone long-term right now. Or, even better, a pack of self-righteous prudes with just a couple of people who are relaxed about sex and are the producer's intended sacrificial victims in the program's search for eyeballs and social-media buzz.

    'Promiscuous' is a value judgement. Some religious nutbags believe that sex with more than one person during your entire lifetime qualifies as promiscuity. Some people will believe that having a different sexual partner every year, month, week or day would make someone promiscuous. So the line you have to cross in order to be deemed promiscuous is determined by the cultural mores of the society you happen to live in and personal opinion. You can't ignore those things, but nor should you take them too seriously.

    You don't cite a number or your age, but I strongly suspect that I'm several times your age and the number of sexual partners I've had is a lot less than your tally. But, for the nothing it's worth, I don't think that makes you a worse person than me in any sense. I've done me, and you should do you. If you're fortunate enough to find it simple to get new sexual partners, you enjoy variety and you've developed the skills necessary to quickly and accurately pick out the gems amongst all the bullshit, you should go ahead and get the most joy you can from this aspect of life during this phase of your life.

    • The "religious nutbags" of the sort that I encountered in the Southern Baptist church where I was raised had a general inability to sustain marriages with one another, tended to cheat on one another even when it meant leaving their disabled children behind, and were occasionally prone to homosexual behavior (in fact, I believe that there's some controversy there right now because a few more have come out).

      In spite of this, the preacher and his repulsive, shrill-voiced wife would still sing "We Want America Back" in front of the entire fucking congregation.

      And don't even get me started on all the "Kyles" that went to that church, but that's another story...

    I think it's one of those things that is highly variable and there's no such thing as a useful "average" to compare yourself to.

    I was married before the age of 30, but before meeting my husband I had several long term relationships, plus a lot of one night stands inbetween. I don't know how many partners it adds up to but i wouldn't be surprised if it was close to 80. Maybe more?

    It doesn't really matter. Do whatever is right for you.

    10 to 15 isnt really that much if you are partying a lot and chasing girls around. I know a dude at work who had said when he was around 30 that he lost count after 100 women. I completely believe the guy was a sex addict and would fuck anything no matter the weight of it.
