It’s a famous quote from the famous actress Sharon Stone: “Women are able to simulate an orgasm, but men can simulate a complete relationship. “What must we do to prevent this from happening to children?Could the number of people you’ve had sex with in your life give you the answer?
To date, many studies are trying to find an answer to these questions. Is promiscuity healthy?Let’s see what science says.
“Loveless sex is an empty experience. But even as an empty experience, is this one of the best?Woody Allen?
The truth is that we do not always know if it is good to have a lot of sex or not, besides, is there any reason to wonder if there are an ideal number of encounters ?, despite being something subjective, which depends on the education of each individual, science has its answers.
First, consider the study conducted by the Illicit Encounters dating site. According to this site and its work, there are an ideal number of sexual encounters: 10. This is the perfect amount of results produced by your search.
Why 10? Apparently, this is the ideal number of sexual encounters in our opinion humans, above this amount we consider the promiscuous person and below this estimate, with little experience, however, according to the interviewees, the amount that is actually considered exorbitant for most people is 20, that is, above that number, many people think that this is a very promising person , which creates insecurity and mistrust.
It is interesting to observe more research on the subject and compare the data extracted, this is the case of the work done at the University of Michigan, according to their findings, women confessed to having had about 9 lovers in their life, compared to 32 men.
“Men are more afraid of sex than women. “Arthur Miller?
However, other studies suggest that while men tend to exaggerate these numbers, women do the opposite, reducing the number of their experiences, otherwise would we reach a value of between 10 and 20 lovers?
In this way, perhaps one could say that a dozen lovers is the ideal amount, however, it is always important to remember that these studies are conducted by American researchers, what would happen in more liberal countries like Brazil?the results were different.
Another University of Utah study estimates that women who have had more than 10 lovers are more likely to divorce, contrasting with those who have had sex with only one or two people who apparently also have many reasons to end their marriage in advance.
Researcher Nicolas H. Wolfinger, whose specialty is couples, analyzed the divorce rate in the United States through female sexual behavior and came to several conclusions: behaviors change radically over time. 40 years ago, 20% of women said they were married virgins. , Only 5%. And it’s interesting to note that the more loving couples the woman had before they got married, the more likely it was that the relationship ended in divorce.
This contrasts with the women mentioned above with little sexual experience prior to marriage. Wolfinger analyzed research from the Institute for Family Studies and found that the same divorce trend was observed in women who had had fewer than 3 previous sexual encounters.
In short, science studies human social and psychological tendencies, from all these studies we can extract general data that cannot be converted into dogmas, that is, that a person has many sexual partners does not mean that their future marriage ends prematurely. .
So, in conclusion, we can say that maybe 10 is an ideal number, but perhaps there was a different and more interesting proposal. It would be something like, “Do whatever you want whenever you want. “You can have sex with whoever you want; as long as you don’t hurt anyone, enjoy and live. Everything that has to be will be, but everything is in your hands. In fact, you decide, are all the other data, numbers, trends, ideas?that remain curious and serve to give us a general idea of how we perceive sex in each society or study group.
