There is some normalcy in that, yes. But, it's definitely on the high side for certain. Especially if 'sex partners' equal intercourse partners.
Check this out: If, your man started having sex at... 17, and slept with 4.6 women every year since then, he would have arrived at 46 by the time he met you. In other terms, it means if everything was spaced out evenly over the last ten years, he would be bedding a new woman just abut every 2.5 months. Though I assume this wasn't the case unless he's a sex robot on a timer.
Again, regarding, "normal" There are guy who are driven to have a lot of sex. They possess the charm, dedication and discretion that will result in sizable tally. The number doesn't have to speak for itself, but I'd be curious if this man has had any series relationships in the past? Perhaps he did. Perhaps he is a wonderful, faithful serial sexer. I can't answer that.
But I can tell you this: you have every right to investigate his STD status, as he has a every right to question yours. Why not, right? It only takes one grimy penis or icky vagina to catch an STD. The STD wheel of misfortune stops when it stops. Sure, I suppose the more times you spin the wheel more chances you'll win an all expenses unpaid trip to a clinic in Cancun, but it doesn't really work out that way.
Having an STD doesn't equal slut. It equals STD. Get your statuses sorted out to your satisfaction and then move on to next critical part: ensuring you feel like #1 not #47.

I just wanted to say that yes, its possible to feel like #1. I feel like my man's #1 and his number is higher...of course, so was his age when we met by 3 years, but still...I feel like he wants ME, not his ex's. And he even had some really hot ex's lol. But I know that he had his turn with them, he had his fill, then he moved on to the next until he got with me...and now we have a family! Try to be grateful that he's experienced in bed and will show you a good time because all those ladies before you taught him to do it RIGHT! lmao!
For some reason I think the mere fact he has counted out the women would have an eyebrow raised, not to mention her told you that number.
Actually, i would be wary of a person who totally lost count of the number of people they've has sex with.
I don’t mean lost count.., I mean counted at all. Are they conquests or intimate encounters?
I remember the names of everyone i've slept with. By definition, that means I also know the number. Does that mean they were conquests?
46 at 27 yrs old doesn’t sound like intimate encounters. It’s the OP question I’m talking about…, not you. Sorry for the confusion.
Are you sure you got the right number? I had a hilarious conversation with my boyfriend over Skype when he said 'I've slept with 53' 'Oh no typo I meant 4' which I took to mean 54 people. Yup.
What surprised me the most is I wasn't bothered at all, I was obviously the only one that mattered to him and they were all in the past. So yes, as long as you feel like #1 it doesn't have to be that big of an issue.
I dated a guy just out of the Navy stationed in Japan for 4 years and wow did he screw a lot of chicks!! He is only 24 and he is at over 100!!! yeah it totally grossed me out! when I started dating him he had just gotten released from the navy and so had to go through every test known for std's not to mention any diseases so I knew he was clean but still eww!
I know that there is a double standard where if a woman sleeps with a lot of guys its a no go, and thats not why I choose not to sleep with a lot of people but it does factor into the choices I make. I think in return I DESERVE a guy whose morals also don't let him get way up in numbers either. My other ex boyfriend was only at 10 people and 4 of them were random non relationship hookups but he didn't go crazy hooking up with everything that came along, To me that said that we were more on the same page.
Ive discovered that girls and guys either have that internal feeling where they just don't have the desire to sleep around a lot and it bothers them if they do without commitment and then there are other people who don't have that problem and don't mind sleeping around and it doesn't bother them.
I was friends with a girl in high school and I was equally as pretty as her, just as good a body and she didn't care who she slept with and hooked up with tons of guys with no feelings of guilt whatsoever. I got hit on just as often but I didn't feel right about sleeping around and only had sex with one guy in highschool and he was my first boyfriend.
is exaggeration a possibility?
Exaggeration is always a possibility but he might just as likely be telling the truth. If someone is starts in their mid teens, there are lots of opportunities between then and when they hit 27.
I know a few men in the military (platonic) From what I have seen, men in the military get more action than a street corner prostitute. Perhaps there is some exaggeration with some of them. I can guarantee that majority of them aren't exaggerating though. Military men, as good as they look in the uniform, don't always deserve much respect when it comes to the sleeping habits. Trust me.
I would not be so quick to judge his STD status based upon the number of people he has slept with. You can catch something loosing your virginity. You could catch something from the virgin that just lost her virginity and she could be your 100th. What really matters is that you both get tested before you do anything so there is nothing to hide and nothing to worry about.
