Should you hide your body count from your partner?
One in four Americans in a relationship admit they’re hiding a secret from their partner, according to new research.
A survey of 2,000 sexually active adults found that 26% of those in relationships admit their partner doesn’t know their true “body count” — the number of people they’ve been intimate with.
While a majority of these respondents said this is because their partner never asked (60%), another 16% admit they’ve lowballed their number when asked. And while most of those in relationships have an answer about how many people their partner has been with, one in nine question whether or not their partner is lying.
So what could the real number be? The survey conducted by Talker Research for LELO, found that the average American has been intimate with 14 people. Two in three think the “body count” of someone you’re in a serious relationship with is vital information and another 56% said it’s crucial to know this even if you’re only casually intimate with someone.
