Glamour is being REAL generous with that number. Among the guys that
care most get a little wierded out by over 3 partners, even when they should intellectually know better i.e. the girl is older.
I am not saying that over 3 would be a deal breaker, there really aren't many deal breakers when a man has some tail in his line of sights, but somewhere he notices it.
We used to definitely characterize women differently by amounts of partnrs and it used to be the difference between the gals you dated and the gals you brought home to mom.
I agree with that quote by the way from queer as folk although I would sustitute the word lucky for promiscious.

I personally could give a crap about a guy's number, but I hesitate to give him mine. I'm ok with it, and it isn't particularly high at all, but there are a whole lot of people who feel that like 3+ is a bit much. So I prefer not to reveal such info until I know that he would be comfy handling the truth. I think that lying about it somehow makes me feel (not that everyone should feel like this, but this is how I feel) that it's something to be ashamed of, and it absolutely isn't. Most people have learned alot- sexually and emotionally- from their past experiences, and if they've been safe and have been tested recently, it's all good.
I read an article in Glamour where a guy said the best number for a girl was 7:
1 guy she lost her virginity to
2 commited relationships
2 one night stands
2 mistakes
Interesting huh?
Personally I think the following quote is very apt for many people and situations, I heard it on Queer as Folk: "Promiscuous is anyone who's having more sex than you"
