Embarking on a new relationship can give rise to some awkward questions around one's sexual history. Namely, "How many people have you slept with?"
Do you respond honestly? Or do you claim more, or less?
Results from a new study may impact your answer, either helping you avoid or encourage dishonesty in the future.
A survey conducted by superdrug.com of more than 2000 people in the US and Europe has revealed the average number of sexual partners people have had in their lifetime.
For men, the average is six while women sit slightly higher on seven.
