muffler85: it's not sad, actually depending on how you calculate the average number of sex partners that most people have had, it's one (if you use the mode - for those who have forgotten their primary school maths, that means the most common number of sex partners across all the people surveyed).

On the other hand the mean number of sex partners (for maths dunces that's the total number of partners divided by the total number of respondents) is around 12 for men, but less than 20% have actually had that many. How does that work? Well, it's because a few guys have had a lot more than 12 (like, hundreds), and most of the rest have had only a handful - so it averages out in between.

To complicate things, guys report having had more sex partners on average than girls (who have around 7; though again, this doesn't mean that most women have had that many). But logically, leaving aside homosexuality for now, that can't be right: the mean number of partners should be around the same for both sexes. The usual explanation is that men tend to over-estimate, and women tend to under-estimate.

for myself I think it was 18 or 19 actual intercourse partners from the age of 17 until 26, when I met my now wife. She being 9 years older had chalked up a few more but that's for her to tell. It gets better after that due to an interesting relationship we have with another couple, but that's another story other than my stats for penetration - apologies for beng clinical - haven't changed (yet, fingers crossed!!!!)

I used to be a regular on the alt.support.shyness newsgroup (probably nobody here remembers Usenet, but it was like a Web form before the Web even existed; though you can access newsgroups over the Web at Link is broken so has been taken down and it was not uncommon for the guys there to be virgins at your age or even older.

I wasn't one, but I was close, with about six years between drinks at one stage. As far as I know the group's still going and it's a good place for shy guys to swap stories and advice (and also to gripe and moan a bit, admittedly). The guys there will totally relate to you, probably more than many of the people here for whom getting sex and/or love is easy.

Maybe we could start a separate thread on this since it's a bit off-topic.

Not sure your "Geek" stereotype works... I consider myself a geek, I have had group sex & Mensa parties, and got laid at Microsoft product launches. Most geeks I know bang like dunny doors. The brain is our largest & most important sexual organ, why would those of us with a big, powerful one not use it?
