You want an honest answer? Fine then. In a typical year, I have sex at least 365 times. With the talented Ms. Palm and her five lovely daughters. All at the same time.

Apart from those regular incestuous sevensomes, I had a one-night-stand on New Year’s 2003-04, and…ummm…that’s about it. So since my first time, I’ve maintained an average of something like 0.333 per year.

☹

I’m very dissapointed. I just recently found out that this saying is from a TV show, I saw it referenced on some goofy “100 greatest TV sayings” (or something like that). Up to that point, I always thought it was made up by an early doper somewhere.  
[/QUOTE]

I while back, I addressed this very issue, and polled for new ideas. “May I touch you with my my penis?” was my favorite reply.

I must have gotten this confused with all those other threads that folks seem to be fundamentally incapable of answering honestly.

Who hasn’t answered honestly? :dubious:

You and **Hampshire** should both try actually _reading_ the replies to a thread before posting nonsense in it.

Not in a relationship but I have a friend who takes care of my needs and I take care of hers until either of us are in a relationship. One or two times a week for three weeks a month.

One cohabitation with a wild musician prior to meeting husband, average 10 or more times per week (what? We were young!).

You say that like you’re apologizing. 😛 I’m just impressed by that guy. The last time I could’ve done something like that was maybe when I was 16. Of course, back then, I couldn’t have gotten laid to save my life.

Enough of this bragging. In the thirty-odd years since I became aware of the issue, I have had one sexual partner. That works out to about 0.03 partners per year. ☹

I have to break this down into two timeframes:

1963-1987: 2000-3000 partners, total, that comes to 80-120/year, except that some years had 0 or close to it, and some partners were multiple.

1987-today: One partner, approx. 500 times/year.

[QUOTE=CanvasShoes]  
Huh? Did you only have sex once with each of the 14 people? Sorry, I’m naturally blonde, please speak slowly.

Are you trying to find out how many sexual partners we’ve had in our lives, or how often we were “doing it” (or are “doing it”) on a weekly or monthly basis, or perhaps an average of how often we are having sex?

Sorry, your OP has confused me. 🙂  
[/QUOTE]

Was actually trying to find out how many partners we’ve all had, that’s a much better way to put it. I think I phrased it strangely for two reasons:

1. I wanted to include the word “sex” in the thread title, rather than “partner”
2. Yes, strangely enough, I only had sex once with 11 out of the 14, as I recall.

The last time I got laid was in November of 1995 ☹

Well if you note my location I’m 3000 miles (acually more like 3500) away from my SO, so all I can think about is the sex I’m not getting. I’d have to clear it with said SO. And he’d probably want pictures 😛 .

Where was my head? ☹

Let me rephrase my post.

Other than once, when I shamelessly IM flirted with a godess, got all hot and bothered, took a $200 taxi ride to Narita from Tokyo in order to grab the first plane to New Zeland, took the only seat available, a full fare business class ticket, was met at the airport by the same sex godess, and with both of us too horny to wait, paid a taxi driver $300 to not look in the back seat. How can one forget having sex 17 times in 48 hours? It look three weeks for the skin to grow back – damn that was embarassing to have to explain that one to the doctor. (He’s publishing this case in a journal somewhere.) And how did you learn how to do what you called your “Little Squeek” or the “Back Stroke Crossover with a Twist.” I thought I was experienced, but damn!

The 3:00 am romp in front of Parliment was fun, but being taken to the police station wasn’t. Looking back, great things can only go on for so long.

Unless, of course, you’re a guy, then it may have been someone else. 😃

In my 32.5 years of life, the average times of laid per year comes, precisely, to 0. That ought to have an effect of the doper average.

And, please, spare your sympathy. It is by choice.
