You forgot “1”.
…which I guess means they think I’ve had too many sex partners. See, Ethel, it WAS relevant!
Vectors for disease.
Nothing good ever comes from that conversation.
:dubious: You don’t say. This would make a great consecutive thread with my upcoming threads “Is my 12 inch penis too big?” and “Help! 3 supermodels are fighting over me!” 
I make a notch on the hilt of my Bowie knife.
The answer depends on the responder of course, and there can be a huge gradient between slut shaming and saying no number is too high. But a crucial missing variable is age: an answer of 10 would have very different connotations at 16 vs. 56.
Obligatory: TISM - Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me
That wasn’t bragging at all. Mostly just mentioned it so this didn’t come across as any judgement. Plus it’s easier when you’re gay…men are just easy. 
I don’t get why adult males feel the need to lie about their number being higher than it really is. I’ve seen it here on this board a number of times: “Oh, my numbers is in the hundreeds” (As in 200+)
First off, no you haven’t slept with that many women you douche.
Secondly, do you really think women hear that number and think to themselves “OMG! I gotta get with that guy, he’s so studly with his high number.”?
They do not and us other guys know you are full of shit.,
High numbers are nothing to brag about and if you lie about a high number it just makes you look pathetic.
I’m only concerned with the number my wife has had since we met.
With what, your other Bowie knife?
I, uh, am wondering how you are so sure that people are lying and who you are calling a “douche”. 
As another guy, I don’t automatically think “liar” when somebody gives a large number. I’m more likely to think “gay?”, but not “liar”*.
And with Antinor01, looks like my first guess was correct.
*Unless I’m the one claiming a number in the hundreds. Feel free to call me a liar if I say that.
Didn’t someone do the math on Wilt Chamberlain? Basically that it would’ve been difficult to get normal life done each day with all the sex breaks.
Some people complain about double standards, like lots of sex as a woman = slut, lots of sex as a man = the boss. But I don’t think a good portion of guys look up to him. They might envy him in some way, but also hate him for various reasons. In more understandable terms, he’s screwed if another guy gets the blue shell.

Oral doesn’t count.
You’re a man.
No one expects you to remember names.
The poll really needed to mention sexual orientation.
Before November, 1987 . . . many.
Since November, 1987 . . . 1.
Though “many” is a high number by straight people’s standards, it’s actually low for an urban gay man my age. Especially someone who was sexually active in the 1970s.
Sez who? If that’s the case, I’m damn close to being a virgin.
Hey, I remember the important ones.
At the same time? In my experience, more than two and someone starts feeling left out.
Lifetime? I put ‘Don’t care’. At this point I’m highly unlikely to break any records anyway.
That’s what Clinton thought.
I’d argue that it does count. My wife would think it counted if someone was giving me oral and I’d sure think the same of her.
Is this poll meant to insult those who haven’t slept with at least 100 partners?
I think I was pretty clear that I’m wondering what people’s opinions are. Lots of people think differently from me, so I like to learn about other peoples thought processes. If you have one, please feel free to share it.
For example, I know that my brother would say 2 was too many since he believes that you shouldn’t have sex before marriage and only with your spouse after. With the possible exception of remarriage after your spouse dies.
