It’s probably higher than you think.
A recent survey has indicated the ideal amount of sexual partners a person should have before they settle down with one person. The results are based on a survey conducted by the dating site IllicitEncounters.
Of the people surveyed, the most common answer for the ideal amount of partners was 12. Their justification for the number was because they felt it showed that a person was ‘sexually adventurous, liberal and transient’. They draw the line at 19, though, with this proving a person is too eager.
In comparison, they felt any number under 10 showed someone to be ‘sexually inexperienced’.
According to The Daily Mail, Christian Grant, spokesman for IllicitEncounters.com, said:
“Men are a little more self-conscious when it comes to competition.
They want to be seen as the biggest and best; whether that stems from genuinely wanting to satisfy their partner or to massage their own ego is another matter entirely.
Women on the other hand, they’re just happy to enjoy the moment, past experiences aside.”
