Discussion: How many partners is too many?

Katy Perry

So I've been having a lot of fun lately and have racked up 10 partners within the first half of 2016 (I don't have HIV btw never have unprotected sex!) and I was just wondering... how many partners is too much within the lifetime of the average gay.

tbh, there's never too many partners honestly. as long as your safe, its all up to you.
so far ive had 32 partners in total (a mess since im barely 19

) so its all up to you really

Everyone is different and has a different mindset. Don't live your life conforming to someone else's rules of what's right.(within reason) I personally think if you have to use two hands to count how many partners you've had is a little much. But, my opinion may change in time. Have fun and be safe.

I'd personally never date or have sex with someone with that amount of sexual partners.. ESPECIALLY when it's 32 at the age 19

So less than 3..

Your only limit is yourself. If you feel unhappy having a lot of partners, then tone it down. Otherwise, get iT.

Whatever makes you happy. However I'd never date someone who's had more than like 3 or 4...... I'm not like that. I could be. But I'm not

As long as you're being safe and more importantly, making choices that are mentally healthy for you, who am I to judge?!

Vrx.

Honestly, as long as you're safe and not transmitting or catching diseases, you're fine

Over 5 if you're a Christian. I don't want to get a warning point for saying my input, so I'll spare you from my "sin that, sin that" lecture. I'm sure you can figure out what I would say on this topic.

Well...

Full ON, you should have less than 5. Messing around is ok. Life's short. But sex should be saved for marriage. I've let over 10 guys fool around with me. Every time though it was highly awkward. I don't know how people go all the way with strangers. It's weird.

This. That's not attractive at all

I've had 25 sexual partners since I lost my virginity at 13. I went four and a half years without any sexual contact, dates, not even kissing. Now I'll only do it if I have feelings towards someone, but I'll never judge someone for their choices.

I'm 29, if that matters.

Sex outside of marriage is evil, one shall not enjoy pleasures not intended for them.

Yikes. Some of these prudes.

But it's your call

It's all about the number you're comfortable at. Dick and get dicked as long as you want until you're ready to settle down, sis

10 sounds like rather a lot in such a short space of time but if your happy and safe then its up to you, personally I think people should probably have at most 15 casual sex thingies in a lifetime but as many actual relationships as you want because some people are going to be unlucky so I think its unfair to judge that.

God? I compare many sexual partners to murder. One sin isn't greater than another. A sin is all equal in God's eye. If you wouldn't murder someone, why would you have sex with 500 people? Because it benefits you and gives you pleasure? More hypocritical if anything. Doesn't make it any less or more right. In the end it comes down to morals. Do what is the right thing

There is no rule or value. As long as you're feeling comfortable, being safe and treating others with respect you should feel free to do whatever you want and it's not anybody's business how many partners you have/had/want to have.

Even less attractive to even care about how many people someone has slept with.
