Is it that odd?

I had 5 or 6, and if you count kissing a lot more. By now I've had several more and if you count kissing I've completely lost count.

For reference, I'm not particularly attractive and I'm right on the border of normie but not quite. I think my weird friends think I'm a normie and my normie friends think I'm a nerd.

There were guys I went to high school with who had far, far more sex than I ever did. More than I was even interested in because they'd sleep with just about anyone who was willing at any party.

By 12th grade, some of the "cool kids" I went to school with probably had 10-15+ sexual partners under their belt.

I left school at 16 with exactly one person to put on a graph like this.

My first two relationships were like 5 years long in total. After the second break-up things accelerated a lot, but in school I think my situation was pretty standard.
