Again, why do you care if you consider the question asinine?
Well then please forgive my acumen for pedantry. I’d like to retract my OP and replace it with the phrasing you just gave here.
I don’t really, I’m just passing the time here.
Interesting viewpoint, obviously I don’t agree with it but do find it interesting. From my perspective, it was simply a statement of fact.
To be fair, I should’ve mentioned that I don’t judge anyone’s choices, high, low or no number. Like my brother that I mentioned, his lifetime number will probably be 1. Not a choice I would make, but it’s his to make.
I suspect the number is still not a good alternative to getting the name right in the heat of the moment.
“Oh, YES, Number 27! YES!”
That’s nice.
Really.
On the other hand, there are more productive things to do, right?
Let’s try those for a change. 
Later!

Why is a high number assumed to be “bragging”? There are very few people I’ve met who have a high number who don’t also seem to be suffering from some other issue (drugs or alcohol addiction, intimacy or relationship issues, etc) or otherwise don’t have their shit together. Being a club DJ in college and getting laid all the time is pretty cool. Is being a 40 year old club DJ considered cool if you name isn’t David Guetta?
I used to go out to clubs almost every weekend for long stretches of time in my early-20s. It would have been the easiest thing in the world to bone someone new each time (since I’m a woman) and get to 50 by age 22 without any effort. I didn’t do that though, because gross. If I’m not in a relationship I prefer a steady sex buddy to a bunch of one night stands. Actually I’ve never had a one night stand. I’m not judgmental of someone for having some of them, but if it was a common occurrence I would find that extremely off-putting in a potential partner. Because, just…why? Why didn’t you ever [del]come[/del] happen across someone you wanted to keep seeing? I know men are known to really like variety. And that’s why I’d be really scared to get married. If I was going to really trust a man he would have to be more into monogamy than the average man, not less.
Shakes has a point. There’s plenty of douches on these internet forums who brag about having triple-digit sexual partners. They’re the same douches who feel the need to mention they buy Magnum condoms from CVS every couple of days.
Lesson here is: guys lie about this stuff. A lot.
Again, it’s simple math. If you go to a party college or live near a big city like New York or get a Jersey Shore (or similar location) house with a bunch of friends, it’s not out of the realm of possibility to hook up with a dozen partners over the course of a year / season. Do that for 5 years and now you got 50 sex partners.
What seems to stop people IMHO is not so much that people can’t get to huge numbers. It’s that at some point, they like settling down with one person.
So THAT’S the mistake I made when I was a young adult. I shoulda gone to a party college and stayed in a Jersey Shore house.
(My number is 5, at the age of 51.)

But yes, as mentioned the “too many” criterion itself may be variable by specific circumstances of the subject’s life story. I believe that on this subject a person’s past should not be held against them (in either direction!). And if someone honestly DOES have a cumulative total in the several hundreds, well, good for you, dude, please share some tips.
Though if a guy’s currently still actively running up this score with no apparent intent to slow down, I can understand some of the more discriminating women being put off by that while being more tolerant of someone who may have whipped up a storm in his college days or when he was in a band but have become more selective later in life.
Indeed. I certainly did go up into triple digits by my 30s, living over here. But then I met my wife, and it’s just been her ever since. So my score’s not been added to for a long, long time. (The only STD I ever picked up was a dose of syphilis at the tender age of 21 in West Texas. From an old high-school girlfriend, not even a “working girl.”)
It’s certainly been an interesting conversation. I like finding out peoples thoughts on various topics, even if my choice of topic can be pretty random.
In an abstract sense, it doesn’t really matter to me, but I think somebody with a number higher than 20 or 30 probably wouldn’t be a great fit for me as a mate. I’m not even sure I’ve met more than 20 or 30 women I’d want to sleep with. But if they’re not in a romantic relationship with me, it makes no difference.
It’s never too late to go sleep with a bunch of random skanks and hookers.
Try Florida instead.
It’s like every day is party.
Why do you think that old retried people move there?
For the “weather?”
How many is too many?
Shit, how many is enough?
