Like, there is a person in human history who has had the largest number of sexual partners. What kind of person do you think this was, and what number did they reach?

Genghis Khan comes to mind because of genetics, but let’s exclude non consensual activities.

    I don’t know, but I guess we could ask your mom.

    (I’m so sorry, I don’t mean it, but it was right there)

        Haha fair point. And no offense intended anyway, no matter how many partners you or she have. I’m sex positive here; sex is great and so long as everyone is down for it, go wild.

    I don’t know the business, but let’s say you’re an especially popular escort who serves 5 unique clients per week (obviously there would be repeat customers) and works 10 months out of the year, meaning 200/year. If you work for a decade you’re in the thousands.

    Wilt Chamberlain claimed to have fucked 10,000 women. Maybe he was embellishing, but it’s not a completely unreasonable number over a career. And it was a good era to be going for the record: after effective antibiotics for syphilis, before AIDS and paternity testing.

      Didn’t he also claim to have fought off a mountain lion with his bare hands?

      Tbh - we’ve been in a pretty good period for causal sex for the past few years. PREP, doxy, PEP and the apps…

    I went deep into the triple digits in my twenties in Austin alone. Thanks to apps, it was kind of normal.

    Imagine if you lived somewhere like Las Vegas and had a bit of a compulsion, you could probably manage close to a partner a day. Throw the occasional swinger/sex party/orgy in there and you’ll blow past the 400/year mark. Assume 30 years higly active before starting to taper down as you age and you can easily hit thousands.

      My ideal is about three a night, but I have periods where I am more and less active. I know my number is in the triple digits, might even be >500. There are some nights where I’ve gone into the double digits.

      Las Vegas sounds like lots of fun. I was monogamous the one time I went to Austin, so missed out there.

        I’m sorry I missed you in Austin. I was a bi-bull (read sex worker), I did a lot of swinger parties and gang bangs, plus I was a regular on Grindr, AFF, and PoF. Good times.

    I’m thinking 90’s rock stars have gotta be high on that list. e.g. Motley Crew was fuckin nonstop for years.
