Ive had 76 so far... im 22.

How much did you charge them?

gg76
If you quadrupled what I had and added 75 I still wouldn't be at that many :eek7:

Ive had 76 so far... im 22.

I say go get yourself tested for stds if your going to make it past 23.


i also call BS on that number as well.

Ive had 76 so far... im 22.
You count?

how many sex partners is too many

when things start to fall off...
or you become inhabited by foreign creatures...

Ive had 76 so far... im 22.

Damn. Kind of a slut for a conservative.

Maybe you should be asking yourself how many are enough. How many are enough before you get tired of using others's bodies to masturbate with, and start using that time to develop something - be it a relationship, a career, or anything else - more fulfilling over the long term? A new sex partner every month or two should not be a matter for pride. To me it signifies failure (of imagination if nothing else) and wasted energy. I'd be much more impressed if you said you had helped 76 people in some way, learned 76 things, or even exercised 76 times.

nah, :bs:

I think someone likes to show off. (I think half are 90 year old women)

I think i might be slightly jealous come to think of it. But you want to be able to categorize and sort through it all...All that fanny just kinda melds into one great miasma and depending on when he got his, it has to average at least four shags a day. Anyone up for the math on this one then?


Nup when you thing onit..being on the brink of getting yours with someone you care about is worthy of making some sonic shagger wishing he could recall that moment before all the numbers become one great minging tour after another.

nah, :bs:

werd. prolly big steaming piles of :bs: unless yuppy is a whore or just the biggest slut on earth.

I'm not saying yuppy is, I am just stating that it is incredibly hard to believe.

Unless he went to a bar 76 days in a row and just picked up drunk girls..

Unless he went to a bar 76 days in a row and just picked up drunk girls..

that would make yuppy a gigantic slut that has most likely got every disease known to man.

lmao

one. the one that gives you vd.

i got tested dec 21 2006

ALL NEGATIVe

considering there are things you can pass to woman, that are not testable on men, just has the HPV virus that causes cervical cancer.... congrats on not finding out if you have it.

I have had alot of partners also, in the general area of your range, but have never bragged or counted, thats just bull shit

You got tested for what? You must have accumulated and are currently incubating something think of likesay warts, chlamidia, gonorhea (fk spelling too lolz) oh and theres syphlis as well.. You should be testing for all those mate, not just the standar AIDS...omg crabs and scabies. Your gambling with all your conquests. Nowt to be to proud after catching one of these and passing them on to some silly cow as well.

Damn and I thought a total of 7 was pretty slutty. Damn, I guess I'm alright! :nice:

I'm leaning more towards thinking this thread is not serious, or maybe she's trying to prove a point (that we don't know yet) and seeing what people would say. ?

just a guess...i could be wrong.

I've only had one(my husband lol) why would I want more?
Wow, that's a lot of sexual partners, I will not like to be you, No offence

Ive had 76 so far... im 22.


that is a shocking number, but i guess when it all comes down to it, all that matters is what you think, and maybe the person you want to spend the rest of your life with ( assuming you want to find someone )

yeap, I regret sleeping with as many woman as I have :/

was fun at the time, dont get me wrong, but it was pointless, meaningless(in hindsight) and just increased my chances to not be "pure" for the woman I spend the rest of my lif with

yeah, it's possible. you actually might be giving her too much credit.
but 76 at 22 is ridiculous. really. lameness.

Actually, 76 isn't really that much. I mean, it's a lot, but I know guys who have been with over a thousand women.

Now that's a lot.

There are some men in this world, who were literally born to have sex with the majority of the female population it seems. But they are a rare breed.

Over a course of 10 years they'd have to be with a different woman every 3 days... Yikes...

Yeah, it's frightening. One guy I know, could easily have sex with a new girl every single night of the week if he wants. I'm not kidding. He doesn't, because he needs recovery time, but it's pretty damn close to every day.

Nah, he uses a condom every time. Although he didn't very often when he was younger. He's been lucky.

Not suprising. Condoms have an actual use failure rate of 10-18%.

With perfect use you only gain about (2%) failure rate compared to the withrawal method.

I used to know a guy like that. It was a blind apartment match; he turned out to be a coke dealer whose clientele included most of the Michigan football team. Whenever he got bored he'd go out to a bar, flash some product, and bring a girl home for the night. They'd hang around for a day or two, then I'd never see them again, and another day or two later the cycle would start again. There was one time when the girl turned out to have some very large friends on the aforementioned football team, and another when MCI-big-shot daddy had to get involved (I think to facilitate a discreet abortion) but otherwise Junior never seemed to suffer any consequences. Over just one year I'm sure there were close to a hundred of these girls passing through. That was the last time I used one of those matching services.

Whoa! I wouldn't want to have your baby. It would probably come bursting out of my chest. ;)

Now that's a lot.
I knew a guy like this in college as well. He was not even a particularly great looking guy. He used to be fat, over 300lbs. He lost all the extra weight and must have gained a ton of confidence from that. He could talk just about any woman he wanted into bed. When he first told me about some of his conquests I thought it was all BS, but then I met these woman and also saw him in action. He was not lying at all. He used to have his girlfriend over and when she was leaving, before she was even out of the dorm yet he has twins from upstairs on the way down to his room. This was more the rule as opposed to the exception. He did not use a condom their so I would be very surprised if he did not get something and pass it around to a ton of people. I could not take it anymore at one point and told his girlfriend what he does and that she should get herself tested.

While I was hanging around with him though (just one school year) I got more girls during that time than any other time in my life.

Whoa! I wouldn't want to have your baby. It would probably come bursting out of my chest. ;)


Yikes!...are you kidding?

Nope...now, I can't have kids anymore...not that I want more...but, just kinda sucks to think about being forced to not have more, especially when I am about to marry thee one.

Yea, THAT part (and the no periods part) I have been compeletely enjoying!

how the hell do you count that many people. I get stuck counting what I've had and it's nowhere near that.

I can't even remember some of the dead lays.

to come up with a number that high and that exact is bullshit. unless you wrote them all down.


and if you did write them down you are a scumbag.

How much did you charge them?

:lol: :rofl:

I don't think I've even gotten close to 76 yet! :eek3:

I think if I lived for a 1000 years I wouldn't even reach that number. Maybe 1 every 25 years. Haha

emtrue: was it herpes or HPV you got, cause you could have got it from any partner and not noticed for many of years :(

You DO realize how many teen pregnancies there are, right? Probably more than 2% of the sexually active teenage population. Terrible really... :hmm:

Best advice I can give is to use a condom, but do not cum inside her. You still want to pull out. It goes agaisnt everything instinctual, but it's really the best way to lower the chances of getting a girl pregnant to damn near close to 0%.

I'll be lucky if that doesn't happen before I even get started...

but thats a whole different area of advice.

These are great numbers.

When using condoms properly - every time - a couple will have, on average, one unexpected pregnancy every 50 years of intercourse.

aww. my condolences.
as if you had to go through all of that just because of his fling. :P

I know someone with HPV, it manifested into cancer, and she's debating on getting the surgery because she really wants another child right now.

nope. this is a common misunderstanding

Condoms have a perfect use failure rate of 2%, how do you figure one unexpected pregnancy every 50 years? It's totally dependent on how often the couple is sexxing.

this thread just started yesterday? I cant beleive it's 4 pages long.... I dont have the attention span to read aaaaaall of that.

and uhm, aaron has to obviously be joking. :p

http://www.contraceptivetechnology.com/table.html

Your numbers come from the column "% of Women Experiencing an Unintended Pregnancy within the First Year of Use."

So, after one year of sex, there's only 2% chance of getting pregnant when using condoms effectively - fully one fourth of the effectiveness of female sterilization.

aaron has to obviously be joking. :p
Where?

--Okay aaron wasnt joking! :)
From the little I know of numbers and science; It raises my hackles a bit to see a conjecture on the next 50 years based on one year of data. It assumes the risk is linear, constant, but ya know, if the couple could do the same exact thing every single time, then the risk probably could be constant.

My formal apology Mr. K. -sometimes you are never wrong. ;)

don't have to even look too far ahead. women's parts break down in less time.

....ya know, if the couple could do the same exact thing every single time, then the risk probably could be constant. ...

It could, but that means there can be no room to wiggle, either literally or figuratively.

One of them is bound to wiggle at some point. ;) :)

why does every thread, regardless of its subject, have to turn into a discussion about sex?

Ive had 76 so far... im 22.
Then you woke up.....

I honestly think that people tend to exaggerate.

But then I always was kind of an underacheiver.

We need pictures and scorecards, please.

don't have to even look too far ahead. women's parts break down in less time.

and then they could wiggle w/out risking a baby being conceived

this never happens, though

"We die rich with lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we've entered and swum up like rivers. Fears we've hidden in - like this wretched cave. I want all this marked on my body. Where the real countries are. Not boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men."

Wolfd seems to think we need pictures and scorecards for this issue.

Here are the odds of getting pregnant with a condom:

Sperm can live inside a uterus for up to 10 days. Women ovulate for one day out of 31. So even if you don't use a condom, the odds of your sperm being alive inside the uterus during ovulation is 10/31, or 32%

Condoms are generally 95% effective. So the odds of your condom breaking is 5%

Multiply the two, and the odds of getting pregnant for a single session of protected sex is .016. So the odds of not getting pregnant is 98.4%

Now, if you have sex 100 times, the odds of not getting pregnant is .984 multiplied by itself 100 times, which is 19%. Kinda scary, eh? If you go up to 150 times, it's only 8%. If you have sex 300 times a year with the same person, the odds of not getting pregnant are 0.7%!! :eek: Less than one percent!

98% is 98%. it doesn't matter how many times.

fuzzy math.

The odds are much better than that in preventing pregnancy. You should note birth control effectiveness is measured not by use, or sexual encounter, but by a years worth of proper usage.

How effective is it at preventing pregnancy?

The breakage rate for condoms is two out of 100. Of every 100 couples who use condoms incorrectly and inconsistently, 14 will experience a pregnancy during the first year of use. Of every 100 couples who use condoms correctly and consistently, only three will experience a pregnancy.

This is much more acceptable odds here. I reckon if you just double up and wear two condoms you got even... better odds..am i rite?


But seriously condoms don't break that easily they that much better made and a better fit to prevent slippage.. I know this becuase...

never mind. Im just pleased with these numbers. onwards!

This is much more acceptable odds here. I reckon if you just double up and wear two condoms you got even... better odds..am i rite?


Haha. No, doubling up actually increases the chances of it breaking, believe it or not.

Here are the odds of getting pregnant with a condom:
Here we go...

Sperm can live inside a uterus for up to 10 days. Women ovulate for one day out of 31. So even if you don't use a condom, the odds of your sperm being alive inside the uterus during ovulation is 10/31, or 32%
This is probably the theoretical maximum. Sperm lasting for this long would invariably be the microscopic equivalent of Terri Schiavo. In addition to your figure of 10 days being a high-ball number, you make a glaring mistake of assuming that a sperm's ability to fertilize an egg is the same the second it is ejaculated as it is... again, 10 days later.

Condoms are generally 95% effective.
According to the definitive source for contraceptive information, the Guttmacher Institute (http://www.guttmacher.org/in-the-know/index.html), condoms are 98% effective when used properly and consistently.

So the odds of your condom breaking is 5%
Again, this is not what effectiveness measures. A 98% measures the % women who will become pregnant in their first year of use. (This is where one should stop, all further calculations are based premises shown to be false, but your arguments are silly, so I will debunk them, too!)

Multiply the two, and the odds of getting pregnant for a single session of protected sex is .016. So the odds of not getting pregnant is 98.4%
This is an interesting number that you give, since 1.6%, the number you give for the chance of getting pregant by having sex with a condom once, is so close to the actual chance of an unintended pregnant in any given year.

Now, if you have sex 100 times, the odds of not getting pregnant is .984 multiplied by itself 100 times, which is 19%. Kinda scary, eh? If you go up to 150 times, it's only 8%. If you have sex 300 times a year with the same person, the odds of not getting pregnant are 0.7%!! :eek: Less than one percent!
There's his grand total. According to Feenix, wearing condoms diligently for a year leads to a 99.3% chance of pregnancy. Remarkably, he's off our best estimates by an amazing 97.3%.

Another interesting mistake he makes was assuming a woman gets pregnant every time a condom breaks (a rare occurrence) during the "10 day" period. This is patently false, as is the notion that sperm will enter a woman every time a condom breaks.

Feenix would have you believe that any time a potentially child bearing woman has both sperm and an egg inside of her at the same time, she will get pregnant. 100%. As it turns out, after a year of intercourse, not using any form of birth control only leads to an 85% chance of a pregnancy between two potentially child-bearing individuals.

EXACTLY OPTIMUS!!!! WELL DONE!!!! :nice:

ya know, it's funny how when you take a bio class you learn that it's almost hard to get pregnant, so many things need to be in coordination actually......unless you are 16.

finally, thats only 10 girls a year for about 7 years. its not unreasonable if your a good talker.

oh yea, and i only use condoms if the girl insists.

platy guy, you gotta point... ill give you that... and ive definately excercised more than 76 times.

emtrue: was it herpes or HPV you got, cause you could have got it from any partner and not noticed for many of years :(

HPV but I was constantly being checked / tested - girls do that more often than guys...was with my husband for 11 years...

aww. my condolences.

98% is 98%. it doesn't matter how many times.

fuzzy math.

Take a class in Probability and Statistics.


If you flip a coin once, the probability of getting heads at least once is 50%. If you flip the coin a hundred times, is the probability of getting heads at least once still only 50%?

What did I do? You might've meant H2? He was the one bringin the noise.


yeah. I did. sorry. where the hell did I get optimus from?

Take a class in Probability and Statistics.


If you flip a coin once, the probability of getting heads at least once is 50%. If you flip the coin a hundred times, is the probability of getting heads at least once still only 50%?
you have 2 sides and only two options. 50/50. the catch is that it may varry somewhat but that if things are done the same way everytime without any outside interference the odds are 50/50. Condoms are tested scientifically and outside interference is controlled as best as possible. if you can't get solid numbers then it isn't proof positive now is it.

98% probability against something if done 100 times is the same as 98% if done 1000 times. the only difference is this.

if you have sex 100 times using a condom correctly and the probability of the condom preventing pregnancy is 98% then that leaves a 2% chance of pregnancy which is the same as 2 out of every 100 people getting pregnant.

if you have sex 1000 times and the probability of the condom working effictively (based on 98% using 100 subjects) is still 98% that means that 20 out of those 1000 people will get pregnant. 20 out of 1000 is the same as 2 out of 100. 98%.

There is always the chance that the condom breaks but that can't be made part of the comparison because we don't have hard numbers on that not to mention that according to one thread somewhere on this forum, it varies by ethnicity (people in india have small penises).

there is always the possibility that the guy has a piercing (for example) that may cause the condom to rip or there could even be a defect in the manufacturing process and that cannot be factored into the math without statistics.

these are variables that will have a huge impact on probability of pregnancy. h2g2 did a great job of factoring in common variables like the actual potency of the sperm at the 10-day mark which is critical. Condom breakage does occur but it is by no means a 5% occurance (1 in 20) as you claim. if you can find real proof that the condom breaking is a 1/20 occurance and that the sperm has 100% potency at the 10 day mark then your argument would hold water. right now it really doesn't. H2's argument is much more realistic.

scientific experiments have controls.

I think I explained my point so that it made sense. correct me if anything I said did not.

My comment was based on controlled variables.

You're not getting it.


98% probability against something if done 100 times is the same as 98% if done 1000 times. the only difference is this.


It only takes one time to get pregnant or get an STD. Sure, the individual chance of a condom malfunctioning is 2% for each instance of sex, but when you look at the overall time period, the odds of a malfunction happening are much higher.

Let me put it this way: If you've already flipped a coin 99 times and gotten tails every time, the odds of you getting heads on your 100th flip is still 1 in 2, assuming it's a fair coin. But if you haven't flipped the coin at all, and you're considering flipping it 100 times, the odds of you getting tails EVERY SINGLE TIME is .5 to the 100th power, which is approximately 1 in an Octillion.

You're not getting it.

But if you haven't flipped the coin at all, and you're considering flipping it 100 times, the odds of you getting tails EVERY SINGLE TIME is .5 to the 100th power, which is approximately 1 in an Octillion.

you're ignoring the rest of my post.

The 98% break rate is based on evidence that about two of every 100 condom would break or 2% breakage from a hundred uses, not 2% break for each use.

Therefore the chances of one condom breaking during a single use is .02%

To facilitate a 2% break rate, you'd have to use 100 condoms per sex act.

The rest of your post has nothing to do with it.

Every time you use a condom, there's a 2% chance it'll break. That's the conclusion that researchers draw when 2 out of every 100 condoms break.

Of course, you can't really be sure if that's the actual percentage. If the real percentage of condoms that break was 50%, there's a miniscule (one in one Octillion) chance that you could run the experiment with 100 condoms and none of them would break.

condom users experience a 2% per-year pregnancy rate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condom

This is how the effectiveness of all birth control is rated, on yearly use.

I also found this nugget of info: a Consumer Reports study found that actual condom breakage is rare: 1 in 165 during vaginal sex and 1 in 105 during anal sex.

That's meaningless if you don't specify how many condoms you use in a year.

Any percentage or average is meaningless in general, because any person could end up being the failed minority. In the end, it's all just a roll of the dice.

Hmm... if all percentages are meaningless, why not take your entire life savings and play it on one number of the roulette wheel?

Because, like birth control, it's a game of chance. There will always be losers no matter what the odds are.

There's a chance any given condom will break and theres a chance with birth control a pregnancy will happen. Increase the incidents of sexual encounters, you increase the risk of pregnancy, BUT the risk per encounter will remain the same.

We agree, except on your statistical data on condoms.

I'm not sure where I heard 95%. I was just using it as an example.

Actually if you flip a coin 99 times and get tails every time .. Well it goes like this: The first time you flip the coin it's a 50% chance of getting heads, 2nd time 75 % chance of getting heads, 3rd time 87.5% of getting heads and on and on. So it is not 1 in 2. Common error.

It's always 50% for every individual flip. The coin doesn't change after you flip it.

Then why would you assume the chances of a condom breaking go up? It's chances of breaking remain the same. :p

No, but the chance of it happening does.

Look guys, sex is always a gamble, but it's about increasing your expectation. In blackjack for example, you can increase your expectation of winning money by playing basic strategy perfectly, and counting cards. If you do those things perfectly, you can bring the house edge to zero, and actually give yourself an edge over the house (in single deck games.)

The same principle applies to sex and pregnancy. You increase your expectation of not getting a woman pregnant by wearing a condom, even though it's not a perfect solution. If you combine it with withdrawal, you increase it still. It's pretty simple.

I'm not sure where I heard 95%. I was just using it as an example.

It is taking a gamble on (as you admitted) the chance of creating a human life, which isn't a game. :hmm: It's also gambling on getting an STD (including HIV which can kill), and considering that one out of every 5 people in the US has an STD, it is downright foolish to play Russian Roulette and raise the chances by sleeping around with people you don't know well. (That wasn't to you, but a general "you")

imo it shouldn't be looked at as a game, like Blackjack.

I agree lily, I was only using it as an example for expectation.

Like a smoker who sees the warnings and attractive pictures of blackened lungs and potential penile disfunction right there on their packet, still they light up.

You can't deny its an all powerful urge to play, you just have to be smart about it. It is hard to start thinking on statistics when all you want is to rip into that packet, sheath yourself into it and go at it.

or something like that.

Hell I just want mine. that is all.

Jack you are such a one track minded perv. You havent even got one sex partner. Is it not enough to be able to focus on sports such as soccer, learning lacrosse, snowboarding, reading a good book, video games, hell even walking the dog and how to cook and school work and yet still your mind keeps persistantly going back to sex,sex,sex. Is this normal?? What is normal when it comes to the mind of a horned out sixteen yearold with fanny on his mind every twelve minutes.

I hate mornings

I was just trying to make a point, which I'm still not sure anyone got.

I'm not entirely sure if I got the point, but I'm intent on lowering the bar on the discussion. Why does it always have to come down to sex anyway? WHY

how many sex partners is too many
about 6.6 billion, I think its to many when you go past that.
I am on my 6 billion'th, god am I tired.
my legs are weak, I could sleep for a year.
