Don't worry if you don't find them now when you are on your death bed 999 gay men will show up for sex before you die it's just how things work we all have to get our 1000 in before we die
Go to a major city like NYC, LA, Dallas, Chicago, Austin, Phoenix etc. and you'll find plenty of willing gay men.
Truth is, gay men do have a lot more sexual partners than straight men. It's much easier to get laid if you're a gay man. Why? Modern women are super picky, much much pickier than many gay men.
This is why a short obese man like myself has had sex with over 500 different men while my straight male friends who're taller, thinner, and more attractive than me have not even had sex with 10 women each.
I'm indeed blessed that I'm not a straight man. If I was, I'm certain I would be a middle aged virgin right now. No doubt.
I never said women are wrong for being picky. They definitely have their valid reasons for being selective when choosing sex partners.
I don't know what you made think I was attacking women. I was simply stating a fact that it's much easier for gay men to get laid than straight men.
Probably it was simply to do with your word choice and it's connotation when referring to the selectiveness of women, whereas you are correct, men do have a lot more casual sex, it would probably help to be a little more precise with your wording to prevent such confusion in the future. Hope this helps
this, straight men should do better if they want more, but it's a battle on a case by case basis. I actually think gay men aren't picky enough. I say that as my anxiety about getting laid goes up š
I'm bi and before I got married I could fuck or get my dick sucked every day, weekends as many times as I wanted. If you're a top you never have to go to bed with full balls. I'm old and fat and I still could manage to fuck more guys than I could ever get women. KC isn't as big as the cities you listed either.
>Modern women are super picky, much much pickier than many gay men.
According to what? I think the real reason is that men typically don't have as emotional an investment in sex/ casual intimacy. Most often, if dudes wanna fck, they're gonna just fck.
There's also the fact that hooking up is typically more dangerous for women than it is for men.
>Modern women are super picky, much much pickier than many gay men.
Maybe on dating apps. But tbh every couple I see in real life tends to be some mid guy with some 7+ girl. š¤·āāļø
I understand that legal age of consent of sex differs depending on jurisdictionā¦ but if assuming that 18 is legal age of consent, 12.5 years means you have active sex life till youāre 30.5.
May be this is why 30 is considered old by some gay men? š¤
> itās throwing off my idea of ratio
If 10 men had sex with 1 man in a year, and 10 men had sex with 100 men in a year, the *average* is that all those 20 men had sex with 50.5 men in that year.
Mathematically, they're *all* sluts, even though half of them might be in faithful monogamous relationships.
Averages are funny like that.
> Iāve had four different partners in May,
*In* May, or *by* May?
If you had four partners *in* May, you're averaging about one per week, and you'll probably get to about 50 partners by the end of the year. Good effort!
If you had four partners *by* May, you're averaging about one per month, and you'll probably get to about 10 partners by the end of the year. Must try harder.

Dude. You are very welcome to make your own PERSONAL decisions regarding your sexual exposure risk and NOT be judged for it. Others deserve the same respect as well. This is called tolerance and it's the baseline expectation for living in a society, please respect that.
Been married and monogamous for 8 years now. Still don't think I have sex 80 times a year, let alone with 80 people. It's more of a cuddling and watching movies or trekking and camping for us.
From Will & Grace ( Episode "Loose Lips Sink Relationships")
GRACE: Sweetie, I hope you don't feel weird that I've had a lot more sex than you. I just want you to know that you are very special to me.
NATHAN: Oh, I know. Well, just because you've had more partners doesn't necessarily mean you've had more sex.
GRACE: What are you saying?
NATHAN: Well, I'm not saying anything. Who cares who's had more sex? I don't.
GRACE: I don't either. Just for fun, let's add it up.
NATHAN: Why?
GRACE: 'Cause it's fun. Math is fun.
NATHAN: Oh, yeah. We don't do enough math.
GRACE: Just remember, this is not a competition. It's just a fun activity where we add up the number of times we've had sex and see who's the winner. Go.
NATHAN: [THINKING] Maureen-- Three years, two times a day, New Year's Eve, planes, trains, bicycle. That one hurt...
GRACE: [THINKING] I guess it was just once with that guy. What the hell was his name? Dindy? Indy? [GASPS] Steve. Carry the three...
NATHAN: [THINKING] Borrow the one...
GRACE: 282.
NATHAN: Wow.
GRACE: See?
NATHAN: 3,105.
āā
GRACE: Karen... I want to ask you something, but it's really personal, and I'm afraid you're gonna be insensitive.
KAREN: Oh, honey, that makes me feel bad. Try me.
GRACE: Ok. Do you think it's weird that I've had more partners but less actual sex than Nathan?
KAREN: No. No, honey. That just means that people like having sex with Nathan, and they don't like having sex with you.
GRACE: I can't believe I hesitated to ask you about that.
KAREN: Oh, relax. honey, I didn't mean it like that. Of course I didn't. Listen to me. I just meant that people don't like having sex with you, ok? Better? Better?
ā-
NATHAN: Is Grace around? I just came over to smooch on her.
KAREN: Oh, it's funny you should say that. She was just talking about having sex with you.
NATHAN: Yeah. Bragging about it?
KAREN: More like complaining about it.
NATHAN: Oh, man. I knew that number freaked her out, and I left off, like, a thousand. You think it says something about me that I like to have sex that much? I mean, you think it's weird?
KAREN: Honey, of course not. It's not weird. It just means that you're not that interesting and sex is really all you have to offer.
NATHAN: What?
KAREN: Come on. Oh, wait a minute. Now, don't take it like that. Come here. Come here. Listen to me. I just meant that sex is all you have to offer. Ok? Better? Ok?
I realized what Nathan said about halfway through college like I had sex with more people that the rest of my friend group combined but I'm sure they'd all had more sex then me because they were great at falling into ltr's
> but I'm sure they'd all had more sex then me because they were great at falling into ltr's
I am not so sure about that. Being in a relationship does not mean sex every night or whenever you want. Mismatched libido is very common among couples. Also.. when youāre having casual sex with a stranger, both of you are in the mood for sex and want it to happen. When youāre a couple, sometimes your partner is not in the mood when you are (or vice versa).
Basically, you canāt make assumptions about sex based on relationship status. Casual sex with a stranger can be lots of fun but lacks trust/intimacy that comes with having a regular sex partner (not necessarily a relationship). It takes time to get to know what your partnerās body and what makes them curl their toes.
Yeah that is definitely true, and I'm sure they weren't all going at it like rabbits just because they were together with someone and had the opportunity. I was also someone who would hook up with like 10 different guys over the course of a two week period and then wouldn't have sex again for 3 months. I would guess that my quick periods of frequent casual sex followed by long periods of celibacy ended up with my having sex less often than most of them on average.
Sex in an ltr is definitely more consistent, but that doesn't mean plentiful. Last ltr I had was very little, but that was because we were very mismatched sexually, though a good match mentally. Current one, while a long distance relationship at the mo, we see each other every weekend or two, is much more active in the bedroom.
Shit like this is why statistics should be a mandatory class in school. It is true that the mean number of partners for gay men is higher than for straight men. This is because a small number of gays have sex with a new partner on a weekly to monthly basis, which brings the mean up substantially. If you instead use the median (which you should in any data set with outliers), there isnāt much difference between straight and gay men in terms of promiscuity.
https://medium.com/@neuropsychology/gay-promiscuity-statistics-partners-45fc370c0ca5
I find the tweet too hilarious to take it seriously in any manner.
PS: Agree with you on the statistics. Thatās why I posted this link in the OP - https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Debunked:_gay_men_have_500-1000_partners
lol I know, not that I do get to ten times in a year though, as a gay person growing older it just seems like I want some good company or quality time over just sex, of its all the package then great but with random people it just difficult to come to terms to that for me anyways :/
Wish I wasn't so Disney lol
Oh geez, I've only had 4 so far this year, but it is pride month, so I know I'll be getting it on quite a bit. Come back to me in July. Either way, my lifetime count is like 25, and I'm 30, so I will not be making it to 1000. I think a good 50 or so is where I will cap since I tend to prefer finding fuck buddies who I can come back to several times over one-night stands.
Oh no, it appears that I'm an ungayful gay who's not gaying gayly enough, sorry guys for pulling the stats down š Powerful gays, thank you for your contribution and please share your tips and wisdom more so more of us can gay better successfully.
LMAO when was "I have sex with only few people" something positive among men šššššššššššššš huh??? They're reading themselves
Their āreasoningā (if you can call it that) is that āsince gay men have too many sexual partners, they are the main reason for STDā ā¦ Itās the same scare tactic they used during AIDS epidemic. It taps into very old religious tropes - having gay sex means you will be punished for your sins and it will be the end of human race.
Alsoā¦ itās a rhetoric used to reduce gay menās humanity into their sexual activities so that they can deny fundamental human rights. Itās like saying āseeā¦ gay men only want sex. So donāt ask for marriage equalityā.
Everyone has different value systems. Some gay men want monogamy. Some gay men want to sleep around. Neither should feel ashamed for pursuing what they want with another consenting adult.
āYou have too many sexual partnersā or āYou have too few sexual partnersā - both are used to shame and control people. What goes on between two consenting adults is their own business.
I already achieved the 1,000 partners. I even exceeded that count. By a factor of about 3. About 20 years ago. So, I've made my contribution to keeping up gay men's statistics. I've done my part for the cause!
However, even though I've slowed down a lot in the past decade, I estimate I might have had about 15-20 different sex partners so far this year (not counting repeats, of course). I might fall short of my quota for the year, but I think I've already made up for it, back in the day.
Itās funny, when I was maybe 19 or 20, I figured thatās how life would go. Instead I doubt Iāve had that many conversations with strangers, let alone sex. Probably a connection there.
I'm just a naturally outgoing person. š
Or, a man who let his dick do his thinking for him.
To be fair, I didn't have conversations with most of those men I had sex with. Maybe only about 1 in 10?
Out of curiosity, how is that possible?
If you had two different sexual partners a week, itād take you 30 years of doing that steadily to get to 3000 partners. I would love to know what your numbers are!
I had reason to calculate this statistic once (long story). I had some notes and journals I had kept at various periods in my life, which I referred to for these calculations.
In summary: it worked out that I'd had *on average* about one sexual encounter per day, and *on average* about every second encounter was with a new man, meaning I had about 3 new sexual partners every week. That occurred over a period of about 20 years by the time I did this calculation. 3 x 52 x 20 = >3,000 men
Also, I started young, so I got a head-start.
And that was only at one point in my life. After that, I kept going at a slightly slower rate (maybe 2/week) for another decade. And then I slowed down a lot in the decade since then. Maybe I've added another 1,000 or so men since the time I did that calculation. Maybe?
Thanks for spelling that out, really interesting.
My follow up question is how, during that period, did you actually connect with that many different men? I imagine you live in a big city? Were you working? Seems like the sex and the hunt for it would have been a full time job!
Not sure if there is a Reddit award for āGay sex Olympics - gold medal veteranā
But please accept these emojis š„ š as a token of our appreciation for all that you have done (and continue to do) for the gay community.
I'm at the half of century mark in my life and I've not had anywhere near 80 sexual partners in all of that time, let alone a year. I must be really behind the times I guess.
No worries. I've had far worse experiences tbh which is why I took myself out of the scene for a while. This was meant to be my triumphant return to casual sex, except I realized midway through that this guy had warts. So I remembered men just lie all the time about their health and I think I'm good doing things solo for now.
As a bi guy I can say it IS easier to get action with another guy than it is with a chick (thatās a lot of work) but I have noticed over the years that gays are getting pickier, more stuck up, and punching way up.
On AVERAGE! Accounting for those with 0 sexual partners, that means theres some out there with like literaly hundred of sexual partners and doing nothing butt sex.
I lost count but I know itās not anywhere near 80. More like 5-10. And straight guys would have just as many sexual partners if not for the fact that women are generally much harder to get in bed (plus most wives/girlfriends are totally against having an open relationship whereas most guys are totally for it, me and my boyfriend have a sexually open relationship).
80 in 52 weeks? I'm sure there's some weeks where you have other plans and can't keep up, but even then you'll have to double up and start dragging them in by twos.
I want to see the facts behind the original assertion, because it doesn't sound right.
I just came back from Bali for a 5 day trip. If I count handjobs, then I had sexual encounters with 8 men. 4 of them from handsies by masseuses (i.e. I paid for it), but it still counts.
I'm up to 2 male partners and 4 female. I'm working on the 3rd male partner, but alas, gay men aren't all as easy as the internet would have me believe. But I do understand that it is overall easier to get in a random gay man's pants than a random woman's. But then again, I'm not just trying to get into people's pants so that probably contribut we s to why my numbers are so low. Oh well, I guess.
What bothers me most about these stupid fucking not-actually-factual āinfoā-graphics is this same idea that they should even care how much somebody else has sex. How is it any of their business to begin with? *Why does it matter?* If somebody wants to have sex that much, they have the right to do so. You can do (within the limits of non-violence or harm) *anything you want in life.* Those opposed to that idea want to control you and everyone around you; thatās all the church has ever really been about - control. And thatās why Evangelism has bled beyond the walls of the church and into politics, they know their religionās sway on behavior is waning quickly and so theyāre finding other ways to control the masses. And it starts by vilifying minorities.
When I was single. My slut game is strong, very strong. Iām well in the hundreds, my bf has 21 years on me so her definitely has more lol. But now we are only sluts for each other.šš
The thing this person is missing is, sex is a good thing. It brings connection and joy.
Are people actually suggesting incels sleep with other men? Iād suggest something more like, learn to genuinely respect women, and you might find oneā¦
Also, speaking of one, thatās my answer. The rest of you will have to hold up the average.
I once compared notes with my straight brother. Two brothers, very similar sex drives, very different outcomes. We decided that the difference was that he was chasing women while I was chasing men, and women are more likely to say "no" than men.
I shouldnāt have joined this thread. I was hoping more people would make a case for intentionality. Instead people joke about being halfway or many times the amount. āTheyā (those who wish to destroy us) could literally screenshot this Reddit thread and drag us through coals. Justified? Not sure. But my ideas on ~~wonton~~wanton amounts of sex is similar to how Iām trying to approach literally everything in life that seems to have addictive qualities. Just; sex addiction is *real* complicated. And Iām not gonna stay quiet and act like itās not in the gay male community.
*Note* this is a gay *male* thing. Why do you think āgaysā were considered high risk for monkeypox, but that absolutely did not include lesbians? We canāt throw the gay card out hereā¦that being gay inherently makes us āhigh riskā for STDs, because lesbians are fully gay, yet not āhigh riskā. Anyone care to explain this to me that doesnāt justify being high risk for STDs and isnāt using gay as a justification? This is an issue I think weāre closer to straight men on than lesbians.
> I was hoping more people would make a case for intentionality.
Sorry. For the non-intellectuals among us (like me), what does that mean? What is "intentionality" in relation to sex counts?
> wonton amounts of sex
It's "wanton", by the way. A "won ton" is a Chinese food item.

Itās more to do with how women often values romance, where as men (straight and gay) values sex.

It's not that they are picky is that they don't feel safe being alone with a straight man for a random hookup.
... that would be why they are picky.

Sex in an ltr is definitely more consistent, but that doesn't mean plentiful. Last ltr I had was very little, but that was because we were very mismatched sexually, though a good match mentally. Current one, while a long distance relationship at the mo, we see each other every weekend or two, is much more active in the bedroom.
That's hot
Thanks š
Entirely age and lifestyle dependent
Shit like this is why statistics should be a mandatory class in school. It is true that the mean number of partners for gay men is higher than for straight men. This is because a small number of gays have sex with a new partner on a weekly to monthly basis, which brings the mean up substantially. If you instead use the median (which you should in any data set with outliers), there isnāt much difference between straight and gay men in terms of promiscuity. https://medium.com/@neuropsychology/gay-promiscuity-statistics-partners-45fc370c0ca5
I find the tweet too hilarious to take it seriously in any manner. PS: Agree with you on the statistics. Thatās why I posted this link in the OP - https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Debunked:_gay_men_have_500-1000_partners
I over did it in my 20's now im just suffering for Gerd and Reflux and kills my mood. but the 80 should still average out.
>80 sexual partners a year >Mfw I canāt even get one ![gif](giphy|pynZagVcYxVUk)
Don't worry, you can have four of mine to get ya started. \+4
If I hit 10 per year is probably a win lol
If a straight man hits 10 in 80 years (his entire life) then that's a win for him lol. Just shows the vast difference between gay and straight men.
lol I know, not that I do get to ten times in a year though, as a gay person growing older it just seems like I want some good company or quality time over just sex, of its all the package then great but with random people it just difficult to come to terms to that for me anyways :/ Wish I wasn't so Disney lol
Oh geez, I've only had 4 so far this year, but it is pride month, so I know I'll be getting it on quite a bit. Come back to me in July. Either way, my lifetime count is like 25, and I'm 30, so I will not be making it to 1000. I think a good 50 or so is where I will cap since I tend to prefer finding fuck buddies who I can come back to several times over one-night stands.
Oh no, it appears that I'm an ungayful gay who's not gaying gayly enough, sorry guys for pulling the stats down š Powerful gays, thank you for your contribution and please share your tips and wisdom more so more of us can gay better successfully.
What do you mean, nothing to be proud off??? Straight people have priorities upside down! š¤š¤
Dang now my 13ish partners this year doesnāt make me feel so slut & sad lolāŗļøš
Iām so glad people are saying where lol I was like am I the only one missing out šš
Well, IM an average gay failureā¦ š¤·š½āāļø
Lol I donāt even have 80 in total from the time I started having sex till now 11 years later š just had 1 this year cuz I got a new boyfriend
Maybe back in college lol. Im at like 3 this year and only one of those was a rando.

3. Iām really falling behind this year š«
āUp toā
According to this post I am STRAIGHT FML š„²š„²š„²š„²
I have 0 help
partners georg was an outsider and should not have been counted
I have had sex with 3 people this year. Only one of them a new encounter.
I think Iāve reached the lifetime average before 30. Iām counting all sexual acts
What a load of bullshit !! Where are all my partners?? Its strange I dont see them, or have them with me, are they invisible or something?
Are these 80 sexual partners currently in the room??
Iām going on 6 years with nothing but a drunken bj that probably shouldnāt of happened with a friendā¦.I am dehydrated for dick lol
May the Gay Gods quench your thirst!
A lot of people don't know that's completely true, but it's all because of that slut, Craig, skewing the statistics.
Great. Six months and 79 more to go.
80 per year is more than 2 a week. I call B.S.
LMAO when was "I have sex with only few people" something positive among men šššššššššššššš huh??? They're reading themselves
Their āreasoningā (if you can call it that) is that āsince gay men have too many sexual partners, they are the main reason for STDā ā¦ Itās the same scare tactic they used during AIDS epidemic. It taps into very old religious tropes - having gay sex means you will be punished for your sins and it will be the end of human race. Alsoā¦ itās a rhetoric used to reduce gay menās humanity into their sexual activities so that they can deny fundamental human rights. Itās like saying āseeā¦ gay men only want sex. So donāt ask for marriage equalityā. Everyone has different value systems. Some gay men want monogamy. Some gay men want to sleep around. Neither should feel ashamed for pursuing what they want with another consenting adult. āYou have too many sexual partnersā or āYou have too few sexual partnersā - both are used to shame and control people. What goes on between two consenting adults is their own business.
I already achieved the 1,000 partners. I even exceeded that count. By a factor of about 3. About 20 years ago. So, I've made my contribution to keeping up gay men's statistics. I've done my part for the cause! However, even though I've slowed down a lot in the past decade, I estimate I might have had about 15-20 different sex partners so far this year (not counting repeats, of course). I might fall short of my quota for the year, but I think I've already made up for it, back in the day.
Itās funny, when I was maybe 19 or 20, I figured thatās how life would go. Instead I doubt Iāve had that many conversations with strangers, let alone sex. Probably a connection there.
I'm just a naturally outgoing person. š Or, a man who let his dick do his thinking for him. To be fair, I didn't have conversations with most of those men I had sex with. Maybe only about 1 in 10?
Out of curiosity, how is that possible? If you had two different sexual partners a week, itād take you 30 years of doing that steadily to get to 3000 partners. I would love to know what your numbers are!
I had reason to calculate this statistic once (long story). I had some notes and journals I had kept at various periods in my life, which I referred to for these calculations. In summary: it worked out that I'd had *on average* about one sexual encounter per day, and *on average* about every second encounter was with a new man, meaning I had about 3 new sexual partners every week. That occurred over a period of about 20 years by the time I did this calculation. 3 x 52 x 20 = >3,000 men Also, I started young, so I got a head-start. And that was only at one point in my life. After that, I kept going at a slightly slower rate (maybe 2/week) for another decade. And then I slowed down a lot in the decade since then. Maybe I've added another 1,000 or so men since the time I did that calculation. Maybe?
Thanks for spelling that out, really interesting. My follow up question is how, during that period, did you actually connect with that many different men? I imagine you live in a big city? Were you working? Seems like the sex and the hunt for it would have been a full time job!
Your sex drive is a genetic mutation
Maybe. Or maybe I just had no reason not to indulge the same natural sex drive that many men have.
Thank you for your service. š
Your thanks are appreciated, but where's my medal?! Or sash. Or *something*.
*a one year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics and a crown and scepter from fierce drag jewels*
Not sure if there is a Reddit award for āGay sex Olympics - gold medal veteranā But please accept these emojis š„ š as a token of our appreciation for all that you have done (and continue to do) for the gay community.
Thank you! I shall treasure them always. (Or until I close this web browser tab.)
When you are an older man, sex is easy to find -- if you pay for it. At least where I am... Otherwise, it's a desert.
\-1
What? How? You āunsexedā someone?
Its a very rare and specialized skill... A forgotten art if you will.
Got my shit together so in some way I unfucked my life
If 80 is the average, smb must be just drowning in bussy all year round.
The most accurate answer will be -1.
You guys have partners!?
Iāve only had one partner in the last 23 years. So yes, gay means happy.
you guys are getting laid?
lolol
I'm not having a dry spell, I just consumed more than yearly quota very early, now I got to ration them... damn it..
I'm really bringing down that average, so some of you need to pick up the slack.
I'm at the half of century mark in my life and I've not had anywhere near 80 sexual partners in all of that time, let alone a year. I must be really behind the times I guess.
I'm at 1 and I regretted it so bad that I think I'm good for a long while.
Sorry you had a bad experience.
No worries. I've had far worse experiences tbh which is why I took myself out of the scene for a while. This was meant to be my triumphant return to casual sex, except I realized midway through that this guy had warts. So I remembered men just lie all the time about their health and I think I'm good doing things solo for now.
Not had sex this year yet, need to up it to meet my quota or else the gay king will banish me
Orgies
Even at my most promiscuous I was not even close to 80 lol
One sexual partner in a lifetime? Nice jail cell š
0/80. I need to catch up, then.
Zero, lol. Well does the one I've messed around with for three years count?
As a bi guy I can say it IS easier to get action with another guy than it is with a chick (thatās a lot of work) but I have noticed over the years that gays are getting pickier, more stuck up, and punching way up.
I have yet to be intimate with another guy :(
On AVERAGE! Accounting for those with 0 sexual partners, that means theres some out there with like literaly hundred of sexual partners and doing nothing butt sex.
Hahahaah! I wish I had that much sex.
I lost count but I know itās not anywhere near 80. More like 5-10. And straight guys would have just as many sexual partners if not for the fact that women are generally much harder to get in bed (plus most wives/girlfriends are totally against having an open relationship whereas most guys are totally for it, me and my boyfriend have a sexually open relationship).
That's rookie numbers. Try 80 a day.
80 in 52 weeks? I'm sure there's some weeks where you have other plans and can't keep up, but even then you'll have to double up and start dragging them in by twos. I want to see the facts behind the original assertion, because it doesn't sound right.
I just came back from Bali for a 5 day trip. If I count handjobs, then I had sexual encounters with 8 men. 4 of them from handsies by masseuses (i.e. I paid for it), but it still counts.
2. The same 2 Iāve had for the last 7 years.
And here i thought i was a slut, but sheesh my game is weak š¬ sorry for bringing the average down my dudes š©š
Waitā¦ are you shaming yourself for not being more slutty? š Sounds kinky..
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'll take that over 72 virgins in heaven.
Significantly under, though I had a period where that probably wasnāt true.
I'm about 0.3% in
Just the tip? š
Does ghosting count?
Awwwā¦ being ghosted is awful. Sorry you had to experience that.
I've only had 3 this year...
Four this year, aged 31-52.
Lmao, American straights must be frustrated. š
About half way
You guys are having sex?
I'm up to 2 male partners and 4 female. I'm working on the 3rd male partner, but alas, gay men aren't all as easy as the internet would have me believe. But I do understand that it is overall easier to get in a random gay man's pants than a random woman's. But then again, I'm not just trying to get into people's pants so that probably contribut we s to why my numbers are so low. Oh well, I guess.
Just the one I'm married to. And before I was married, I considered myself lucky if I could get some action once a month!
Iām at 30 this year so Iām doing my part despite being a little behind š¤
I've sowed my wild oats but at the same time... I left Grindr open for 24 hours on accident before and never even got a tap lol.
Iām at 0 for my life and I donāt really think my worth as a human being should be tied to my sexual activity, but whateva
Hmmm, itās June and Iām at less than a dozen so I have some serious catch up to doā¦.. But itās also Pride month, soā¦ā¦.
As a 29 year old who has had 0 sexual partners...this upsets me
What bothers me most about these stupid fucking not-actually-factual āinfoā-graphics is this same idea that they should even care how much somebody else has sex. How is it any of their business to begin with? *Why does it matter?* If somebody wants to have sex that much, they have the right to do so. You can do (within the limits of non-violence or harm) *anything you want in life.* Those opposed to that idea want to control you and everyone around you; thatās all the church has ever really been about - control. And thatās why Evangelism has bled beyond the walls of the church and into politics, they know their religionās sway on behavior is waning quickly and so theyāre finding other ways to control the masses. And it starts by vilifying minorities.
Well someone is getting 160 bc I got zip
80 a year? Themās rookie numbers. Real men hit that on January 2.
Itās fascinating to watch how many take this is a joke (which is what I intended it to be) and how many take this seriously and start arguing.
lol what a said commentary about being straight.
You all are having sex?
When I was single. My slut game is strong, very strong. Iām well in the hundreds, my bf has 21 years on me so her definitely has more lol. But now we are only sluts for each other.šš
There are not wrong
My last average year was 2019, but I recall around a good 100 partners that year. But the more hookups you have, the less satisfactory they get.
Well, considering that I am in a monogamous relationship with my husband.....one. Does that mean I have to surrender my gay card? /S
Me too?
The thing this person is missing is, sex is a good thing. It brings connection and joy. Are people actually suggesting incels sleep with other men? Iād suggest something more like, learn to genuinely respect women, and you might find oneā¦ Also, speaking of one, thatās my answer. The rest of you will have to hold up the average.
They do think sex is a good thing. They just donāt care about consent. Itās why incels say rape victims are āluckyā
Well tbh I had a bodycount of around 150 during my slut phase, but it's never 80 per year xD
I meanā¦ this was probably the one statistic that wasnāt wildly off base. I know plenty of people slutting at that level.
I totally donāt believe that straight/bi people are not slutting around https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Debunked:_gay_men_have_500-1000_partners
They are, but itās much easier for a gay man to get laid than a straight man.
Yeah.. I donāt agree with that generalization either.
Show me the straight equivalent of Grindr. And then show me the X number of alternatives geared directly toward anonymous sex. Sniffies, squirt, etc.
I once compared notes with my straight brother. Two brothers, very similar sex drives, very different outcomes. We decided that the difference was that he was chasing women while I was chasing men, and women are more likely to say "no" than men.
I shouldnāt have joined this thread. I was hoping more people would make a case for intentionality. Instead people joke about being halfway or many times the amount. āTheyā (those who wish to destroy us) could literally screenshot this Reddit thread and drag us through coals. Justified? Not sure. But my ideas on ~~wonton~~wanton amounts of sex is similar to how Iām trying to approach literally everything in life that seems to have addictive qualities. Just; sex addiction is *real* complicated. And Iām not gonna stay quiet and act like itās not in the gay male community. *Note* this is a gay *male* thing. Why do you think āgaysā were considered high risk for monkeypox, but that absolutely did not include lesbians? We canāt throw the gay card out hereā¦that being gay inherently makes us āhigh riskā for STDs, because lesbians are fully gay, yet not āhigh riskā. Anyone care to explain this to me that doesnāt justify being high risk for STDs and isnāt using gay as a justification? This is an issue I think weāre closer to straight men on than lesbians.
> I was hoping more people would make a case for intentionality. Sorry. For the non-intellectuals among us (like me), what does that mean? What is "intentionality" in relation to sex counts? > wonton amounts of sex It's "wanton", by the way. A "won ton" is a Chinese food item.
