david owen is this a survey to find out how many partners weve had lol

Interesting that the Countries which give the highest figures are those with a heavy emphasis on the 'macho' attitude! You can prove anything with statistics and I don't ever take any notice of statistics. We all know that sexual behaviour has changed in the last 50 years and that younger people are ABLE to have more sexual partners, if they wish, than we Oldies were! In my day, if you wanted to have sex, you had to get married first. Our Mums would have killed us! Olde Crone

Any young lady like to call around and count the notches on my walking stick? - no , make that any lady Happy days

David, Somewhere along the line I think I must have missed out. BC Is it to late for you to give me lessons lol Jean x.

too right dave i have been a good girl in my life and have only had 4....god nine that would be an achievement even for mexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx((((:

Giggled at Nells answer.....fell over at BC's lol XXXX

That's the problem with averages though, they have the potential to be hopelessly misleading. If your survey features a large group of people who've had none or very few sexual partners and a large group who've had plenty then you're going to end up with an average somewhere in the middle of the two opposites and completely unrepresentative of those who took part in the survey. Not saying that this is what has happened here but it's worth keeping in mind. Also if you end up believing everything you read, the chances are you might end up with a warped view that everyone is naturally promiscuous these days lol. That aside, I agree with what Nell originally said as well.

roughly divided, Pat.....PMSL

BC I cannot imagine such a thing ;-))) by the way is that the irish or the UK figures? LMHO Pat x

er...well that makes me feel like an old slapper....lol BC

Must mean durex is still a good seller then!!

Every time I see this kind of 'survey result', I'm tempted to ask, 'So what's an 'average Briton'?' >*|*<

I find it very funny that people are shocked by Nell, I'm not!!! LMHO ;-))) Pat x

Nell, Im shocked too!!!lol

Nell you've shocked me. Mind you how many do you reckon in a normal bed!

I think 9 at a time is a bit over the top though, unless you have a very big, very sturdy bed! nell

Hi David ;-) I would think it depends on the people that were asked the question, age group I would say makes a difference in a survey like this. Like Nell I don't think there is a right amount, but I will say I was amazed at some of the figures Worldwide. Turkey was the highest I believe 14.5 while India the lowest 3.0. I was also astounded Ireland came in so high at 11.1 while the United States was less at 10.7. How times change lol. it just goes to show I should listen to myself when I see don't prejudge as I was sure United States would be much higher than UK & Ireland. The most worrying part of the Survey I think were the figures for unprotected sex 47% globally, this was with a partner people did not know the others sexual history, surely they are playing with fire. A Frightening statistic I think. Pat x

David, I must be old fashioned!!lol I think 9 is high, but there again everyone doesent meet the right person at the right time I surpose:-))

I wish they wouldn't say pointless things like this! It makes people feel inadequate, then unhappy, and then they do things they regret!

David Probably not high suppose it depends what type of upbringing you have and when you meet the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. And suppose you can never predict whats round the corner. Well if thats the average I had better bump the old man off and start having some fun. Nell is right though there can't be a right or wrong answer depends on each individual circumstance. Now I've got a headache.
