How many sex partners have you had?

The most uncomfortable question in every relationship: what's your number? As in, how many people have you slept with? To find out the average number of sexual partners a person has had as well as the feelings surrounding the subject, a recent study surveyed over 2,000 people in the US and Europe. Turns out, the average American has had 7.2 partners while the average European has had 6.2. On top of the median counts, America's highs and lows ranged at much more drastic extremes, from 2.6 (Utah) to 15.7 (Louisiana), vs. Europe's 5.4 (Italy) to 7.0 (UK).
The survey also asked the participants at what number they considered someone to be "too promiscuous." Women answered 15.2 while men said 14; both, however, closely agreed on the "ideal number" of partners for someone to have in their lifetime at 7.5 (women) and 7.5 (men). Lastly, when asked what count they thought of as "too sexually conservative," France, Portugal, the US, the UK, and Italy all reported two. Austria was the clear outlier, saying that seven sexual partners was prudish. OK, Austria!
Where does your number fall?

Well... LarryFisherman...
The first time, I had asked a nympho girlfriend who was like "ummmm... a lot of them were stupid and I don't even want to think about it." Second time was when a new gf confronted me after a not-so-attractive girl had outed me as having slept with her years prior, and the new gf demanded that I enumerate for her, which basically doomed the relationship. The third time, a stripper friend who I think was either sizing me up as a potential boyfriend or OTC partner was asking, and I told her that I hadn't been keeping track. She didn't seem very happy with that answer, but reported back that she had talked to another grown man and had gotten a similar answer.
The thing about women's counts is the 3X rule -

I drink a lot less beer per week when I'm filling out forms at the doctor's office compared to the bar of a strip club, so I can kind of relate.
A woman only remembers (admits) having sex with someone if she's had sex with them 3 or more times.
The one night stands just get blocked out.
The male corollary is:
If I touched your boobs or pussy, I had sex with you. Yep, you're going on my list.
let's not forget about san_jose_guy. he's another zero partner count bringing the average down
If you define sex as intercourse and not counting sex workers"
Well, that would definitely cut it down some, but there was still at least 8 during Rush Week 1985. No repeats that time. ;-)
"If you don't count strippers, I'm as pure as the driven snow. If you do count strippers, I'm sluttier than the Whore of Babylon."
If you define sex as intercourse, my count is minuscule. If, however, blowjobs count as sex, then I'm a total man-whore. Hurray for Bill Clinton's definition of sex!
I like the real logical rule of 4.
If a woman says she had sex with "x" number of men, add 4 to the number she gives.
If a man says he had sex with "x" number of women, subtract 4 from the number he gives.
Without compensation: 0.

So much depends on the term "sex partner" and what constitutes "sex".
Let's just say I'd have to be considered promiscuous times infinity...
I've woken up in too many places and had no idea what happened before I got there - so I'm unable to confirm or deny what occurred.
