I don't really think the number matters as long as you learn something. Granted, I wish now that I would have had more self-confidence and not thought that sex was the only way to get a guy to like you. But being "promiscuous" for a little bit taught me a lot about myself. I learned how to respect myself and also learned the difference between having sex and making love. Even though I have had sex with several guys, I've only made love to a few, and I think that's what matters.

I know that my current boyfriend has less than half the number I do so we just don't talk about straight numbers. He knows that I've had a past and I know he has one too and we don't really care about it. I used to be one of those girls who had to know who they slept with, if they still talked to them etc... but I try to push those things out now.
