Like Hatara, though, I'm going to keep my lips zipped about my response.
I've had the opportunity to ask 3 men in R/L how many partners they've had and these were their responses:
Age of Man.............................Partners
58...........................................200-300 (he lost count)
55...........................................63
mid-40s.....................................7
The circumstances under which I asked these guys for their numbers were such that it wouldn't be to their benefit to jack up their count, so I tend to believe the validity of this data. Isn't that amazing, though? In a circle of women friends, I asked the same question and the responses ranged from 1 to 4. So we asked ourselves, who the heck are these men sleeping with? Prostitutes? Does that count? I suppose...
Further qualitative discussion posited that the men who had the high end responses (200+ and 63) lived through the free-love decades of the 60s and 70s before AIDS/HIV was a consideration. The man with the 200+ response was in the service overseas, so perhaps he increased his count during his stint.
Just rambling thoughts(You know me and numbers!!)
I had quite a few partners before I was married and am just glad to have been at that stage in my life before HIV/AIDS and really do feel for the next generation with all those raging hormones and coping with greater risk and fear.
