What’s the average number of sexual partners for each generation? From baby boomers to millennials

IT appears that the younger the generation you come from the more sexual partners you are more likely to have

AT that least would appear to be the case from the results of a survey.

What's the average number of sexual partners for each generation?

In order to establish how our sex lives have changed over the years, healthcare company surveyed more than 2,000 people.

Baby Boomers

It seems baby boomers - aged 54 to 72 - have had the least amount of sexual partners, averaging 10.7 throughout their lifetimes.

Boomer women have had an average of 7.4 partners, while boomer males have enjoyed 12.9.

Generation X

Interestingly, Generation X -  aged between 38 and 53 - seem to be more liberated than those younger and older than them, racking up an average of 13.1 lovers.

Men have had 16.1 partners, and women of this age average 10.1.

But on the whole, it looks as though it could be the youngest generation who end up with the highest numbers.

Millennials

Millennials - usually thought of as those aged between 23 and 37 - have slightly higher numbers, already clocking up an average of 11.6.

This equates to 10.8 partners for women and 13.4 for men.

Generation Z

Generation Z - who were born after 1995 - have already amassed an average of 5.6 sexual partners.

Men have had an average of 7.6 partners - although women are trailing behind with 2.6.

Meanwhile, 14 per cent of all respondents said they've only ever had sex with one person.

Just 2 per cent of respondents had had a total of 91 sexual partners.
