The average British man or woman has slept with 2.8 million people — albeit indirectly, according to figures released on Wednesday to promote awareness of sexual health.
A British pharmacy chain has launched an online calculator which helps you work out how many partners you have had, in the sense of exposure to risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STIs).
Ummmm. Honestly–1. Adding her “degrees of separation” it still is 1. In our case the old Biblical math seems to work well, 1 + 1=1. Not that this is cause to boast, nor have we lived without temptation and opportunity. It is only through the power of God working through us that we have remained faithful before and throughout our 16 years of marriage and 18 years in relationship. Thanks be to God!
These are frightening statistics — and ought to encourage a lot more people to be faithful, but probably won’t!
