How many sexual partners are too many?

Other responses were: I don’t care; 80; really people worry about this I am up to 200 plus; everyone has a past as long as they aren’t sleeping with them now; I am off the scale so I can’t judge; not an issue it is the past; depends on age and other factors; only have low numbers so high numbers would put me off; as long as they aren’t promiscuous and no such thing as too many.
