That is the average number of sexual partners a Canadian women aged will have in her lifetime according to the global Durex Survey. For women, that's ten partners in 40 years - around 2 or 3 partners every ten years.
This also means going years and years at a time without any sexual partners at all - you can forget about taking part in any one-night stands after a Saturday night at EFS. For those of us who are in our mid-twenties and have already passed that number, excuse us while we pick our jaws up off the floor. Obviously Durex didn't poll enough Torontonians for this survey because these numbers seem a little off Another survey from the National Center for Health Statistics revealed that 60 per cent of the women polled admitted to lying about their number of sexual partners while a comparable 64 per cent of the men have lied about theirs.
Commonly, men are a little more conceited when it comes to this and round up, while women stay more on the shy side and round down. For guys, think of it like the Leafs season so far. Everyone knows they are at the bottom of the Atlantic Division but no born and raised Torontonian wants to admit it.
When it comes to girls, here are the reasons why they're lying when it comes to their number. For starters, if the average is ten, women don't really feel all that comfortable saying they're already higher than that number in their mid-twenties.
That may only mean around 12 or 14 partners by age 25, which is seemingly fair, however, the national average is still only ten in an entire lifetime. With this comes the fear of slut shaming. Let's get one thing straight, a woman's number does not define her. She is not a whore whether her number is 7 or 27 nor should she be afraid to share her number for fear of judgement. Picture Zanzibar versus Remingtons. Yet, regardless of what a women discloses as her number truth or lie men always say they've had more sexual partners than women.
