What's in a number anyway? My philosophy has always been that as long as my number of sexual partners is less than my age, then I'm doing okay.
5 Reasons your number doesn't matter: There's been a lot of talk about "sex numbers" this week thanks to Anna Faris' new movie, What's Your Number? We here at YourTango are even running a contest where, if you tell us how many people you've slept with (or your "best ex") you can win autographed goodies from the film. I couldn't bring myself to write my number.
The adorable Anna, 34, who you may recognize from 'The House Bunny' and 'Scary Movie,' invades theaters this Friday in her first rom-com, which goes by that very title: 'What's Your Number?' She plays a young woman named Ally Darling who figures her number of sexual partners (twenty) is way too high. In a vow to not hook up again until she finds true love, Ally sets out to re-visit her exes to see what went wrong, and if one of them is, in fact, "the one."
What's your number? Some people like to keep it under wraps at all costs. Some are not afraid to sing it — loud and proud.

Lots of people think a woman's "number" is a big deal. Most dudes don't really want to know. They do want to know if she has sexually transmitted diseases. Or if she's still friends with any of the famous guys she's had sex with. Or, exactly, how kinky is she.
Women have an urgent need to blab every thought in their head and share every sexual experience they've ever had in their quest to "be honest" with men. This uncensored sharing is a big mistake.

In most instances, they don't want to know and should never be told, because they can't handle hearing the truth about the number of men you've made love to!
