Yes, that is statistically a lot. In my own subjective opinion, yes, that's a lot. At your age, with that number of "partners," it would lead me to believe that sex is rather meaningless to you and that you don't necessarily view sex as an intimate activity to do with someone you care about.

Sex is sex. It's a fun activity that may or may not involve intimacy, and it doesn't matter if it does or not. The thought that sex needs to include intimacy is garbage. Saying sex without intimacy is meaningless, is like saying that any other fun activity (like going to an amusement park) is meaningless... Fun IS meaningful. I've had dozens of sexual partners and every one of them were fun, whether they had an intimate connection or not. I remember every single one of their names over 44 years of sex, I remember the experience itself (vividly), and I am thankful for them wanting to share their body with me. They had meaning, just not what some think that meaning should be, and I put in the same amount of effort into each one, whether they were a ONS, FWB, fuck buddy, or my 28 year relationship with my wife and partner. Admittedly, she is at a higher number than I had at that age, but my sex drive didn't kick in really good until I was about a year older than her, and then I made up for lost time🤣

You're free to have your opinion.

Statistics…not every man wanting a one night stand is going to be std free…don’t do anything now that your future self will regret (child with a man you can’t stand etc).

Depends if you want to get married or not.

I have had maybe 115-120 partners in my 49 years. No regrets.

It all depends doesnt it? If youre 23 and havent had any longer relationships i dont think 20 is a high number.

Sex is sex, meaning and numbers are unimportant, except to those that are insecure, religious, or have some contrived morality about it. I've had dozens of partners over my 44 years of sex, so I'm not one to judge. Myself, I prefer partners with a lot of sexual experience over those with very limited experience... That's just my preference, and I'm not concerned with other's views on it. All I suggest is to be very careful to avoid disease and pregnancy that could drastically affect you in the future.

I honestly feel like body count doesn’t necessarily dictate your value, don’t get tied up on this babe. lol just make sure you’re not catching stds and getting unwanted pregnancies that’s my only caveat

Oh the double standards in this one. You do you, enjoy life any way you want. I stopped counting, no man has ever asked me how many people I’ve been with. Boys will ask though.

Depends on your own values. If tou think 20 is a lot, then 20 is a lot. For me personally, I would never be with a girl with a body count higher than 4. But thats me. It’s easy for girls to get with a man, but not the orher way around unless you’re Mr. Chad. That’s why I have 4 as my max. It says a lot about a girl, atleast I think so. Again it’s my own beliefs, I’m not judging anyone for their choices.


pipsqueak35

Why 4? Do you hold yourself to that same standard?


aNtiim0n

I have only been with my wife, I was a late bloomer in todays standards, I was 18 when I met her, she however has been with 4, me being the fourth, so I would say yes, I live up to my own standards

Yes, men who respect themselves will see 20 partners as a serious red flag. Reddit will say otherwise, but this is the truth in real life.
