I’ve never really cared, so long as the person is going at it from a healthy place. It isn’t the number that matters, it’s about whether or not they’re self destructive in their activity (well, and that they use best practices)

See, vaginas are a self cleaning organ. Unless it’s fairly recent, any previous dick has had all traces wiped away. It doesn’t hurt that I share very well. I don’t share indiscriminately, but I’m not hung up on going first either.

Obviously, I’m not a stranger to sharing, which means my numbers would be on the high end since folks that enjoy sharing, particularly in group scenes, tend to have more partners on average.

Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to pin down an exact number in part because of group scenes. I can remember everyone I dated, and even the occasional hookup (though I was never a fan of that whole concept of going out to get laid and never seeing them again as the default outcome)

I know I’m in triple digits. I think it’s under 300 individuals, though I may be wrong when factoring in partial sex acts. As in, would I count it if all I did was ejaculate on someone, or something like just gagging someone with my cock as part of consensual humiliation? I don’t tend to think of things like that as sex, per se. And would I count people that were present, but I didn’t even touch? If it’s a group scene, aren’t you kind of having sex with everyone? For that matter, how about bdsm play that didn’t involve any penetration or the cases where no genital stimulation was involved; is that sex?

Would I count people that were watching me do something for their own sexual gratification when I agreed to perform for that reason? I once masturbated for a group of people as a performance specifically to serve as an erotic stimulus. Does that count?

If I factor in all of that kind of thing, it’s creeping up to the 500 mark, approximately.

But sex as in my penis going inside someone, (or the extremely rare penis going inside of me), or other forms of genital stimulation; it’s somewhere between 2 and 3 hundred. I think on the lower end of that range. So not any kind of record, but still an outlier.

With that kind of approach to sexual matters, you can see why a partner having a history of their own doesn’t factor as a negative for me. I’d be more worried about a partner with less than a dozen previous partners that didn’t engage in good use of condoms and barriers.
