I don’t ever think of partners in a numerical way. When the time and situation is right, I guess my number goes up. I haven’t had too many and am happy sharing intimacy/my life in a selective way. I’m also monogamous which influences how often this happens with someone new.
This suggestion is just running defense for incels - a group notable for their reactionary response to not having sex. A person is an incel when they decide misogyny is what explains their inability to have sex.
