Needs more context, though, doesn't it. If that's how she came to sleep with 60 guys - 3/4 a year, then, yeah, it's not like she's going liek the clappers, but you're talking about a 30-year old who has never had a long term relationship, which is a bit off-putting. On the flip side, if she's married and has racked up 59 other guys on the side then that is an extravagant tally, and would make you question the quality of someone's character. Similarly, if she's had a few long term relationships, and the rest of her partners have been crammed into the gaps then it does seem a bit more promicsuous. I suppose you;d have to ask women: do you really bump into a man every three months who's definitely worth sleeping with?
For the record '60 or 70' sexual partners is the number used in the play Blackbird to suggest that a woman who was abused as a child has been psychologically damaged by her experiences.

I see. So the answer turns out to be quite simple. From this second forward, there simply is no Black Mask. Problem solved.

What's this guys crap? I was having a lovely time. Until...
Yeah, he was having a lovely time recounting his catalogue of failed relationships, sexual dysfunction, history of gnawing regret and hinting at his take-no-shit, beatdown-that-muthafuacker, not-to-be-fucked-with violent nature. Everything was going nicely. ralph was talking about ralph and no-one was pointing out what a dick he is. It was like dream come true...

This ralph/BM stuff is unspeakably tedious. I suggest we just ignore the pair of them when they start, in the manner of toddler training.
Thus: I don't think three partners a year is a lot. She may have had a few LTRs thrown in there two, which would skew the average to four or five, but I still think that's OK. I bet ralph wouldn't have batted an eye if it was a bloke with a similar tally.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I'm not even sure I've met 70 people over the past ten years that I'd even want to sit and have a drink with, let alone have sex with.

You'd certainly have to have pretty low standards to be able to achieve such a tally. Especially if, as I think we must assume, she lived in the same general area as Ralph. Which means she must have slept with virtually every man in the town.
