Over 9000?!! *Breaks the scanner*
2019-11-23 03:05:27 +0000 UTCOwen from RSD spoke about this at length and kind of opened my eyes - I used to be a stickler for low counts and previous relationships, because I was coming from an insecure, needy, unstable place. But consider how women - even 5/10s - could probably get fucked every day, by a different guy... because too many guys out there are thirsty and just want to shove their dicks into whatever hole comes their way. So if by 30 a woman has had 12 sexual partners, it averages 1 per year since she was 18, I really don't think it's that many. More than "a number", the real question should be "why hasn't she been able to settle down and have a great relationship"?

If some people are having lots of sexual partners, and some are having almost none, it's much better to use median than mean. For example, if just one of those people was a porn star with 1000 sexual partners over his lifetime, that one person would balance out 71 virgins. This would mean that even if 98.6% of the group members have never had sex, they would all still average out to 14 sexual partners.

The culture has advanced quite a bit in 8 years, movie would now be considered 'triggering', I expect.
