Hello everyone,

Tonight my boyfriend and I (been dating seriously for 6 months) got into a fight. We were casually chatting and the topic of sexual history came up, and we decided to share the number of sexual partners we had. I told him mine, 26, to which he was shocked and called me a slut. When i asked for his number, he said he didn't even know, and I asked when he lost track, he said "around 2002".

I was pretty shocked at his reaction, and how disgusted he was with me. I've been sexually active since I was 18.

So I am just wondering what you guys think about the situation?

And...Am I a slut?

Thanks for reading!

tl;dr: Am I a slut for sleeping with 26 guys in 12 years?

EDIT: I just wanted to thank everyone for all your thoughts and kind words, I am overwhelmed by how many of you posted. I'm a reddit newb, trying to reply to all the comments.Thanks again :)
