Where do you fall on the scales?

It’s one of our favourite forms of exercise, and if it’s done right, everyone’s a winner.

While we may have blagged our experience when we were younger, as time moves on, it’s important to remember that sometimes it’s not a big race or competition.

Now a new study has devised the average number of sexual partners per person… and the numbers might surprise you.

Chapman University conducted a study of more than 60,000 heterosexual men and women at all the factors that played a part in their seduction technniques.

Looking at their height, weight and number of sexual partners, they drilled down the stats of those frequent fumbles, and the results were interesting.

The study found that men who were viewed ‘very short’ had fewer sexual partners than most, while those who were average or extremely tall had between one and three more partners than those who came in below the norm on the height chart.

Things took a surprise turn when it came to people revealing their magic number.

While we might be led to believe that some men are more adventurous than women, the study asked people between the ages of 30 and 44 how many sexual partners they had had…

The number boiled down to eight.

Regardless of gender, most people had had over five partners – 58% of men and 56% of women. When the partners increased to over 14, the percentage saw a steep drop to 29% of men and 23% of women.

So what does all this mean?

It means you shouldn’t compare yourself to other people’s bedroom behaviours, because all that bragging could be hot air.

As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.

Besides with the right person, one is all you need.
