Have I slept with too many guys quiz

While it might be shocking to see your number of exposures as a percentage of the population of a major city in your country or the nearest global city, indirect sexual exposure can have a far reach when a person’s sexual history is combined with that of his or her partners and partners’ partners – and so on for six degrees of connection. The implications are unnerving, as the greater this number of indirect sexual exposure, the greater one’s risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection. Seen at this scale, the true level of risk from unprotected sex will hopefully have users think again about precarious relations.

Other recently published calculators make assumptions about the sexual history of your partners and their number of contacts. However, this can produce exaggerated results and an inflated number of indirect exposures. Our calculator allows you to select your own estimate of the average number of partners that your partners have had before you. As graphed above, the exponential behaviour of this situation is revealed. That is, your sexual exposure grows exponentially with the number of partners that your partners have had. This is further compounded by the number of people that you have slept with directly, the latter of which is revealed by the various lines on the graph.

Even if you and all of your partners have only single-digit numbers of direct sexual partners, this can quickly add up to hundreds of thousands of indirect exposures - a number that more than justifies taking precautions. Remember: Just one exposure is all it takes to contract a sexually transmitted infection, but correct usage of protection such as condoms can stop a transmissible infection in its tracks. If you aren’t using condoms, it’s all the more important to know your status with regular STI tests.

Given the sheer number of sexual exposures that many of us will face throughout our lives, taking an active role in your personal health and wellness is more important than ever.

Is there anything more private to a person than how many people they have been to bed with? Some people think that their magic number is embarrassing, but not always for the reason that one might think. For every person out there who is worried about themselves not having been with enough people, there is someone else concerned that they may have been with too many. The number of people who someone has slept with tells so much about them. To some people, a person with a lot of partners might seem really loose and uninhibited, and to another, they might seem like they have a lot of instability in their life.

What about you? Are you the type that has either had no partners in the bedroom or just a couple? The kind of person that has always been looking for a serious relationship and waiting for the right person to come along? Or are you a bit more of the wild, hedonistic type, looking to go home with people that you find attractive any time you can? Or maybe you're somewhere in the middle of those two extremes. Either way, answer a few questions, and we bet we can guess your number.
