People should really have two numbers... 1) the number of sex partners one has had, and 2) the number of unprotected sex partners one has had. The latter number is the one to be more concerned with.
But as Chef said... I can't really see this question coming up unless you were thinking of having unprotected sex with someone, and then you wanted to share histories, testing, and maybe numbers if you wanted to go that route. I still think numbers can be misleading (and highly inaccurate depending on who you are dealing with).
This is a still shot from a scene in an early, little known film by George Romero called Night of the Living Dead: Yuletide Terror. Little Betsy and Matilda Dracker have just returned from their holiday school recital, wishing that their recently deceased father, Ted, could have been there. Tragically he was killed the previous week when his car hit a deer. And yet suddenly, in he walks, zombie-chic in his funeral suit, and still freshly embalmed. The stitching on his right eye is still half-sewn shut, and he can only speak in monosyllabic sentences, but oh, what a thrilling Christmas surprise this is! While Ted hungrily contemplates eating the dog (probably better to eat the pet, before the kids), there is a noise upon the rooftop. Betsy and Rover glance upward towards the ceiling with trepidation and realize that it's Santa's sleigh with eight reindeer pawing at the shingles, led by one extra pissed off zombie-deer named Rudolph with eyes that glow as red as his nose, coming back to seek revenge for Ted's shitty driving skills on that one fateful night that began it all.
I am the "Sea Lion"...
These charming pinnipeds are agile, sleek and energetic with an eagerness to their spirit that's irresistibly compelling. The sea lion can be described as a combination of the dog and dolphin personalities - Part carnivore, part sea dweller, it is well groomed with an attractive mind and body. Like the dolphin, sea lions are pleasure connoisseurs who can be quite lazy when it comes to putting in a solid day's work. With the dog's loyalty and generosity, it manages to charm everyone with its effervescence.
Sea lions have little respect for the value of money, and even though they have the talent to accumulate vast wealth they're much more likely to be found at the beach. Alas, the lack of money doesn't discourage the sea lion from those spending sprees that leave it in debt, for saving for the future is never a priority and sea lions are forever emptying the penny jar or mooching a few bucks to buy a tuna sandwich.
The sea lion's agile mind is exercised by long hours of debate on issues of philosophy. Their lazy dispositions, however, can result in conversations that lack substance and logical grounding. Still, they are curious about the universe. Their cheerful dispositions belie a hot tempered core. When reacting assertively, their attack comes in the form of a sharp, barked retort, but they have no natural enemies and their slippery personas provide sufficient defense in the event of an attack.
Their smooth personalities are well suited to a wide range of sales positions. Whether selling real estate or motor vehicles, they are skillful, enthusiastic and sincere. Their straightforward, genuine desire to help others shines through in their work and others instinctively trust them. However, their careers suffer from lack of motivation, for they are prone to rest on their laurels. Their irrepressible nature craves the spotlight and they enjoy performing, telling stories and hogging the attention of their large group of friends.
An aggressive streak serves sea lions well in jobs that require physical and emotional strength, and they are a good fit for careers as police officers, air traffic controllers, paramedics or lifeguards.
As entrepreneurs with high levels of self-esteem, sea lions confidently plunge into risky business ventures. This confidence is not always warranted however, and they often find themselves in both financial and social trouble. Luckily, their natural buoyancy always helps them keep their head above water.

Wow... I probably have about three cups of coffee a month.
When I'm exhausted and I need that burst of energy, I'll have a coffee or double espresso and I'm ridiculously wired. It's the same as indulging in Red Bull. I like to save it for those times that I need it and then I know it will work perfectly.
I've never been a huge coffee fanatic. I can take it or leave it....
I absolutely love eye contact during sex.
The more into the person I am, the more I want to connect in every way...
I'm less concerned about it if it's a one night stand though... I find eye contact while having sex is a very intimate thing, so sometimes it's warranted, and other times it's not.
You can't help. She just needs time. This won't likely be the first time she gets hurt either. It's just part of growing up, maturing, and emotional attachments and detachments.
She probably has her girlfriends to do the long post-break-up conversations. I think the best thing is to not dwell on it and contribute to a morose mood around the house. Try to make her laugh. Stay positive.
I'm not sure how old she is, but if she's college-aged, maybe give her some money to get away with friends somewhere cheap and fun, like Cancun. I've always found that getting away from everyday life, and indulging in some fun that makes you appreciate the joys of being single have always worked well for me in the past. Distractions can be a wonderful thing.
Oh, and try to avoid the "I told you so's" when it comes to her ex-bf. Talking about what a jerk he was and how you knew it all along will only make her feel worse, even though you think you might be helping by reinforcing that she is better off without him. Just be supportive and explain people break up, it's not the end of the world, and there is lots of fun to be had with a fresh new start.
No it doesn't hurt... it's just a bit messy. I leave it up to the guy to decide if he's into it, but it's not my most favourite thing. I'd rather just stick to anal sex during that time of the month.
