How many of you have **NEVER** had sex outside of a commited and monogamous relationship? Just wanted to get some statistics. Thanks. ---

Not me, but I don’t know what kind of stats you’re going to get by this method. Say you get 50 people posting that they have never had sex outside of a relationship - there is nothing to compare it against. What kind of stats are you looking for? ---

No reason other than just a general consensus, for my own personal knowledge…you know, just a general idea. ---

Me. I couldn’t do it except in a committed relationship. Whatever works for other people, though. ---

If you count number of sex acts, a vast majority of my sex has been with committed partners in a monogamous relationship. If you count number of sex partners, only 2 out of 9 were committed relationships. ---

I fail the test. Pleased to have never cheated on any of the GF’s though, although cannot say the same about all my partners! I’m like **Badtz Maru** in that much the majority of my sex has been within relationships rather than not, but I’m up to about half of my sexual partners being committed relationships. ---

How commited is commited? If you mean one night stands then a few (maybe ten), not particularley commited i.e friendly shagging over a few months, no hard feelings when we split then about ten and then I have had seven full on relationships. Man I feel like a slut. ---

Shit, I feel like a virgin then! I am in the teens. Never had a “semi-committed”, it’s either been a couple of shags and split or months/years and I end up feeling BAAAAD. ---

I’m 33. I’ve only had sex while in committed relationships, of which I have had only three. Sad, I know. ---

Yes, Shade. Crimes such as those you hint at don’t count as sex. They count as violence. As to the OP, I’m out. ---

I want to have sex with at least 25 girls before I die. At the same time. ---

**Sauron** has had sex with exactly 2 women…me and his ex-wife. That’s it. (I don’t think he will mind my sharing that) Me, on the other hand, I have had sex outside of committed relationships and I regret and would take back most of them. ---

Just to add another data point… I have never had sex outside a committed and monogamous relationship. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/yep-another-thread-about-sex/209022.md?page=2)
