前任的數量多少比較合適? 外國人的答案是12!大綱

A survey has revealed what both men and women think is the 'ideal' number of sexual partners - and it is more than you might expect.

日前，一項調查揭示了兩性關於性伴侶的理想數字--而這個數字可能比你設想的大得多。

The study by , a dating website for married people, found both sexes agreed that 12 was the perfect number of lovers to have had.

《非法邂逅》網站（這是一個已婚人士約會網站）展開了這一調查，結果發現兩性都認爲12個前任是最完美的數字。

Asked why a dozen partners was perfect, both sexes said it showed someone was 'sexually adventurous, liberal and transient'.

當問到爲什麼認爲12個前任最完美時，兩性都表示，這說明某人“在性方面愛冒險、自由無拘無束、不會過分癡纏”。

Meanwhile someone who has had fewer than 10 partners is 'too conservative' and 'sexually inexperienced', according to the research.

與此同時，該研究還發現，前任少於10個的人可能“太保守”、“性經驗不足”。

On the other end of the scale, both men and women agreed that anything above 19 partners is a red flag, as they would consider the person to be 'too selfish', 'difficult to please' or 'too eager to jump from partner to partner'.

而另一方面，兩性都認爲，有超過19個前任則是一個危險信號，因爲他們認爲這個人可能“太自私”、“難以取悅”、“太容易變心”。

However there was disagreement between the sexes over how important it is to know a partner's 'magic number'.

但是在關於知曉對方前任數量重不重要這一問題上，兩性的分歧很大。

Just 45 per cent of women said they would want to know how many people their partner had slept with, while 53 per cent of men would want to ask the question.

只有45%的女性表示她們想知道自己的伴侶有過多少前任，而男性的這一比例則達到了53%。

Christian Grant, spokesman for , said: 'Men are a little more self-conscious when it comes to competition.'

《非法邂逅》網站的發言人克里斯汀·格蘭特表示：“當牽扯到競爭的時候，男性會更難爲情。”

'They want to be seen as the biggest and best; whether that stems from genuinely wanting to satisfy their partner or to massage their own ego is another matter entirely. Women on the other hand, they're just happy to enjoy the moment, past experiences aside.'

“男人都希望自己是最大、最棒的，有些可能真的是覺得要滿足伴侶，有些則只是爲了撫慰自己的自尊心。而另一方面，女性只是想拋開過去的經歷，好好享受當下。”
