A recent study reveals socially acceptable sexual partner numbers: 4-5 for men and 2-3 for women, with casual flings being limited to a smaller number. Societal judgment impacts perceptions of sexual activity, highlighting a double standard where men may be pressured to have more partners while women face criticism for having too many. This study underscores the importance of moderate sexual activity as most valued by society, contrasting with the average of 14 partners reported by Americans. A survey also shows many keep their partner counts secret in relationships.
"There are both similarities and differences in the societal evaluation of male and female sexuality. However, contrary to common assumptions, moderate levels of sexual activity are most valued for both genders."
"The higher the number - the more judgy Karens. These numbers discovered by the study are fairly low considering the average American has slept with 14 people."
