Zoe, Hmmm, Durex - soft, strong and very very long Could be a bit of a poor seller lol

Karen & Bec - I can see right through you both lol Dee - I really am interested in the half:) Pat!!:) I think that would be a fair average from 18-95 - I reckon there are more people who've had multiple partners than those who have had none. The international figures didn't really surprise me - I sometimes think (being prejudiced myself here) that Americans are more uptight than the British but the British don't like talking about :)) It is frightening how many people have unprotected sex if that figure is for casual encounters. But I also assume that the figure is for people who have had unprotected sex as opposed to people that regularly do. I know it's stupid but it's very easily done in the moment and I bet a lot of us are guilty of it :s David

Dee Dare I ask about the half!

Only 1 and a half for me... Dee x

Karen in Kent - Hmmmmm.....lol I'm sure someone told me that when a bloke says how many people he's slept with you should halve the number and minus five... whereas for a woman you should double it and add five.... lol Becx (A virgin) *reports self to abuse for lying*

Hiya David So glad I'm not the average british person :-) (although I'm not saying if I'm worse or better than the average person) ;-) Karen

Daisy & Zoe Bles yr innocent souls lol Maz! Well I don't like to disappoint lol. I reckoned the same - I know a few people who have (to my knowledge) have had very few partners (a lot of 1 or 2s and I have an old friend who is still intact) but I also know a lot who are into much higher figures. I would have put it a little bit higher I think:) Personally I think sex is healthy - wouldn't judge anyone for having a lot of partners or very few. I do think there's definitely a place for sex without love but it's not for everyone (though how do you know til you've tried lol) Jacqui:)) OMG I have such an interesting image of you and a packet of Lemsip pmsl. I suppose 99 wouldn't be excessive if you had a very long life;) Hi Anna Pmsl - you learn something new every day don't you? I think Andy has a point though lol

I thought it was gonna be about lo roll SEE - how sweet and innocent am I?

David See, I told you I'd not made the most of my opportunities! lol Daisy

our survey says ..... only YOU could have put this thread up !! roflmao oh, I'm with BC and David by the way, although I doubt anyone will be surprised to hear it!! To answer the question though, I wonder if the people they surveyed were from a wide range of age groups? I would say that as an average I'm not particularly surprised at that figure. If I averaged out family and friends (where I think I know!) I reckon I would get a figure maybe slightly lower, so its probably about right! Maz. XX

Lol David Owen!!! when I first saw this I thought it was a survey about Paint!!! Wilko's beats Dulux hands down!!! Nine sounds a good enough number to me - 99 being too excessive (although, very interesting). Only had 1 so not really qualified to answer. Durex must be having a lean time actually - in my local garage last week I mistook a sign on the Pharmacy section saying Buy 2 get 1 free for the Lemsips - lol give me the Lemsips any day! attishoooooooooooooo! Jacqui

Len, PMSL.

Sorry David. At my age the second thing to go is the memory. Len

I'm sure using adhesive tape could be one way of ensuring safer sex ;)

Hi from Down Under Just thought I would mention that if you come to Australia and ask for Durex, you'll get adhesive tape!!! Could be a problem!! As for the survey - how come nobody asks me to respond to any remotely interesting survey? Anyway, if they did ask me, I would plead a senior moment and say I couldn't remember!! Cheers Anna

Brian Buttercup apparently:) lol John CB I wouldn't dream of asking or telling when sober but I'm not average either. Helen:) I've never been asked to do a survey:( But I'm sure I'd make myself sound a lot more interesting if I was;)

Sorry, were we supposed to say how many? Not average - that's how many. >*|*<

David, I think it was WinstonChurchill who said ..'there are lies, damned lies and statistics'

Who's nicked my share then? Lol.

BC - oh I'm glad you said it first lol Jean - I think I have gone astray somewhere;) Julie - well I thought it was rude to ask straight out:))
