Wow i feel like a man whore..

This is going to sound pretty dumb but bare with me.

Im 17 now. This past summer was rather exciting with more parties than i can count and with some of those parties, came a few hookups. By a few i mean 11.
In the school year before this, i recall being asked how many people ive slept with and shocking them every time when i said i was still a virgin (or closer to the end i said one). So obviously a lot of people expected me to have been sleeping around, right?

My question is when is it too much? Have i just been catching up for lost time or am i going overboard? Thanks

I think 11 is fine I just turned 18 and only have had around 8 hook ups.

[Dalcourt]

Well this might sound a lot for many people I'd say.
Personally I don't care and have never counted really to be honest.
So I dunno if there's a socially acceptable number or when it is too much.
I feel everyone had to decide that for themselves.

Uh, sorry but I think that sounds like a lot.

Peer Pressure perhaps?
Doing "it" is an amazing thing. On so many different levels. Part of this is probably my Christian upbringing, but I have done the same. All of my school friends were doing it, and I was in positions where I could've easily done it, so I did.
I have no idea how many at this point. Some I totally regret, others I don't at all. The whole idea of "too much" is literally your own conscientious one. Do you think you're getting around too much?
I totally understand the making up for lost time argument. That's the way I viewed it for sure the first few times. But really, lost time for what? There's no set age where you're "supposed" to start hooking up with people. I have good friends that I've known forever and who went to all the same parties I did who are still virgins, because they didn't see a point in casually hooking up. I'm now in a committed relationship, and looking back, i realize how stupid it was to hook up so much. Just think about it - girls don't exist to be numbers or tallys on your brag sheet. I know it sounds corny, but really.
So the long and short of my answer is maybe. It is ultimately your call. If you do it and then regret it, it seems logical not to do it again. If you do it and do it and find yourself only wanting more, then do it. Just be aware that it takes two to tango

Dude it is your body :) As long as you're being safe and not breaking hearts then I wouldn't worry about what others think :)

Well I think you are doing great dating wise. But don't be in any hurry to have sex with a girl. That should be something very special you share. You don't want to get the reputation that all you want from girls is to get into their pants. Just enjoy dating and find that special one.

Don't worry about many hook-ups, as long as everyone is happy and you don't go out to hurt people then everything's gonna be fine :)

[jake97aus]

Do whatever makes you happy, don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Sure they can make assumptions but I totally understand the whole catching up thing :P Do what you need to dude, enjoy it!

and I though I was doing something by having 6 partners between 12 and 14. Youve done a lot in a very little time, I would slow down a bit and pace yourself. Whos to say how much is too much, only you can say that, so just be careful and have fun.
