I lost my virginity 10 years ago and my number is 25. Yes, that's probably not the best number to have, but I've never had sex for the sport of it. I wouldn't consider myself a man-whore or a 'player' or anything of the sort. I'm pretty much just a regular geek with average looks. Maybe it's that "cuddly, puppy look" I got going? Anyway....
A past girlfriend actually wanted me to tell her everyone I was with. I was completely honest with her. It took me about a week to remember, but I presented her with a list of 18 girls, including approximate (and exact) dates and brief history with that person. Ever since, I have kept up this list should I have to present it again.
Sadly, only four of them were girlfriends. Some friends with benefits (friends I've known for years and some I've known for months), and some were girls I met and hung out with ('dating' anyone?) often and maybe it was better to just be friends. Oh, and 2 threesomes (oh my)! I never used anyone for sex (unless you wanna be technical about friends w/ benefits) and I have always been able to keep a non-sexual friendship with those same people as well.
I have a good idea about who the 26th and final person is though. But you never know. Things happen, and they have in the past. Otherwise there would've only been 3, 5, 11, or 19. But what are you gonna do when you meet your number 10, and it doesn't work out? What if the next 3 don't work out either? Does that mean you're a slut/whore? No. That's just how life goes.
I'll admit though, if I were able to resist the opportunity to have sex a little better, I could easily knock at least 10 off my list.
